Liquid Friday teams up with Cleerly to simplify contractor mortgages

Contractors and self-employed individuals often face significant barriers when it comes to securing a mortgage, with traditional lenders overlooking, or failing to understand, their unique circumstances. 

Recognising this issue, Liquid Friday, a trusted provider of contractor payroll and workforce solutions, has announced a new partnership with Cleerly, a leading specialist mortgage broker, to make tailored mortgage solutions more accessible for the contractor community.

Cleerly has built a strong reputation for helping contractors navigate the often complex mortgage process. Unlike traditional lenders, Cleerly considers contractors’ specific circumstances, offering bespoke underwriting arrangements with top High Street lenders. Their approach includes calculating borrowing potential based on annualised daily or hourly rates, giving contractors access to exclusive products and enhanced lending multiples. 

With access to the full mortgage market and offering impartial advice, Cleerly delivers accessible, affordable solutions tailored to individual needs. Even contractors previously turned away by traditional mortgage providers can benefit from Cleerly’s strong relationships with leading lenders and underwriters. Their personal and straightforward service has established Cleerly as the go-to broker for contractor mortgages.

Supporting contractors at every stage

This partnership aims to add significant value to Liquid Friday’s service offering, giving contractors the opportunity to secure mortgages that are tailored to their needs, whether they are first time buyers, remortgaging, or investing in property. 

Joe Taffurelli, COO of Liquid Friday, commented on the importance of the partnership:

“We’ve always been committed to supporting contractors in every aspect of their professional and personal lives. Securing a mortgage has long been a pain point for contractors, and we’re thrilled to partner with Cleerly to help our workforce overcome this challenge with confidence. Cleerly’s expertise and commitment to personalised solutions align perfectly with Liquid Friday’s values.” 

Michelle Turbutt, Partnership Manager at Cleerly, shared her enthusiasm for the collaboration:

“Cleerly are absolutely delighted to be partnering with Liquid Friday. We’re looking forward to working with such a trusted brand in the contractor space and helping them to add value to their existing services.”
