Self Employed Complex Incomes
Expert Mortgage Support for Business Owners, Freelancers, and Non-Traditional Earners
At Glass Ocean, we understand that not everyone fits the standard financial mould. If you’re self-employed, a contractor, or have multiple income streams, securing a mortgage can feel more challenging — but it doesn’t have to be.
Based in Dulwich, London, our experienced team specialises in helping clients with non-traditional or complex income structures secure the right mortgage, with the right lender, at the right rate.
Who We Help
Our tailored solutions are ideal for:
- Self-employed individuals (Sole traders, partnerships, or limited company directors)
- Freelancers and consultants
- Contractors and gig economy workers
- Professionals with multiple income sources (e.g. rental income, investments, overseas earnings)
- Company directors who retain profits in their business
- Clients with irregular income or bonus-heavy earnings


Why Choose Glass Ocean?
Specialist in Self-Employed Mortgages
We know the market and which lenders are flexible with self-employed and irregular income applications.
Whole-of-Market Access
We compare deals across mainstream banks, building societies, and specialist lenders.
Tailored Advice, Not One-Size-Fits-All
Every client’s income is different. We assess your unique situation and present options that work for you.
Supportive, Clear Communication
We explain everything in plain English — no jargon, no surprises.
How Self-Employed Mortgages Work
Lenders often require more documentation when assessing complex incomes. However, with the right guidance and preparation, we’ll ensure you’re matched with lenders who understand your financial situation — not just your payslips.
We’ll help you provide:
- 1–3 years of accounts or SA302s (HMRC tax overviews)
- Proof of retained profits and dividends
- Accountant's references
- Bank statements
- Evidence of future contracts or ongoing work (if applicable)
Even if you’ve recently gone self-employed or have a less conventional setup, we have lender partners who will work with you.
Thinking About the Future?
We don’t just help you buy your home. We also advise on how to:
- Improve affordability in future applications
- Structure income more effectively for lending
- Re-mortgage or release equity down the line
- Combine self-employed and salaried income (e.g., joint applications)
- Instead of a lump sum, provides regular monthly payments
- Helps replace lost income for your family
- Ensures long-term financial stability
