About Cleerly

Written by the company

We are complex income specialists

Cleerly specialise in finding the best mortgage options for contractors, freelancers, and clients with more complex financial situations.

This is because we understand how both contracting and underwriting for mortgages work. With this understanding, we can advise you on the best course of action.

Cleerly was founded by a former contractor who has also been instrumental in building and negotiating contractor underwriting for the last 20+ years. We build mortgage solutions through our own in-house specialist mortgage consultants and carefully selected business partners

It is our mission to make mortgages more affordable and accessible to contractors, locums and professionals with "non-typical" incomes. By changing the parameters of the mortgage market for professionals just like you, we push boundaries to make the market more competitive and pass on the benefits to our clients.

We're thrilled to have been nominated for Best Contractor Mortgage Broker at the 2025 Contracting Awards in October! Read more about why we've been shortlisted by seeing how we differ to other brokers here.

We have extensive experience in the industry and strong relationships with specialised Contractor Mortgage providers who will look at your unique circumstances instead of trying to fit you in a mould.

Can’t believe it was so painless!!

From start to finish, the process was quick and easy. I have had a very short lead time in the run up to my relocation and, as soon as I had found a property and had my offer accepted, the mortgage application was submitted. I’ve not had time to stop and panic as it was all done from submission to offer in about 4 working days! Just hope the rest of my purchase goes as smoothly!

Being relatively new to contracting and…

Being relatively new to contracting and having to re-mortgage due to an impending divorce, I was concerned that I wouldn't easily be able to raise the funds I needed to.

I spoke with Christie the day after making my initial enquiry to find he wasn't at all phased by my circumstances and proceeded to look into options for me. 11 days later I have a mortgage offer from a mainstream provider at a competitive rate and my wife and I get to move on with our lives.

Having tried a more typical mortgage advisor, this was way beyond my expectations. I don't think I could have asked for a better service.

Highly recommend.

As a contractor who had only just established a new professional services company, I was told by an existing mortgage broker that I would struggle to secure a mortgage and was advised to seek a permanent role. Cleerly provided assurance from the first conversation that borrowing would not be an issue. First class communication and service. Highly recommend.

Mortgage offer as a solo FTB whilst working as a contractor!

I couldn't recommend Alasdair From Cleerly enough!

From Day 1, I have always had quick and honest responses. It is very clear that Alasdair knows this sector very well and can provide you with the best advice there is. I've asked questions about eastments, Restrictive covenants and all sorts of things, I've always recieved the truth which is very refreshing.

Based on their knowledge and experience, they have managed to get me a mortgage offer on the first try as a solo contractor and first time buyer! Fingers crossed this sale goes through 🤞

Jack has been very helpful in getting updates from the lender.

Cleerly also offer support in gaining the correct insurances so you are always on the right track. Again, they are very honest in their advice and will say if its not the right fit for you.

If I could give 6 stars I would! Really can’t begin to thank the wonderful people at Cleerly for their help, guidance and patience in getting our mortgage deal together. As a self-employed person I didn’t think it would be possible in securing a mortgage but having someone like Will Coe being there every step of the way has been awesome in making this hope become a reality! Big thanks must go to Jay for her tireless work in putting the pieces together plus answering our questions and queries. Thanks also to Simon and Jack for their assistance too in the process.

In short, Cleerly are brilliant in putting together a bespoke deal that works personally for you throughout each step of the way and wholeheartedly recommend you get in touch.

Many Thanks again!
