Self Employed and Specialist
Don't be punished for being different. Whether you're a sole trader, director, or work in a specialised profession, our expert mortgage advisers will work with you to understand your unique needs and find the right mortgage for you.
Who We Can Help
Sole Traders
Wouldn’t it be amazing if self employed clients had the same mortgage journey as employed clients? The reality however is that lenders’ criteria are different for self-employed clientsโฆ the good news is that our advisers have helped hundreds of self-employed clients secure their mortgages, and have experience finding the right mortgage deal for those who work for themselves.
Specialist Professions
We have experience dealing with niche scenarios and specialised professions including:
- Contractors
- Professional Athletes
- Professional Landlords
- Executives
- Complex Remuneration Structures
- Foreign Nationals
- Non-Sterling Incomes
Company Directors
As with self employed clients, lenders also have specific criteria for limited company directors. We have plenty of experience working with company directors and executives to secure the right mortgage deal for them based upon their unique remuneration structure.
Specialist Lending
We can also help with the following:
- Equity Release
- Specialist Buy To Let
- Shared Ownership
Some Buy to Let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

No Obligation Meeting
Our mortgage advisers provide no obligation initial consultations ensuring you can be confident youโre working with a mortgage adviser you can trust, with no obligation to proceed in the (unlikely!) event you donโt think weโre the right fit.
Tailored Advice
Everyone is different, and so every mortgage should be different too. Our mortgage advisers take the time to get to know you and your personal circumstances so that we can find a mortgage solution tailored to your needs.
Expertly Qualified
Our team of qualified mortgage advisers boasts years of experience. Some hold advanced qualifications, meaning that we have the expertise to work through any challenges you may encounter, particularly with complex situations.
What's the process?
Get in touch!
You can call, email or send us your details via our handy form. Once we receive your enquiry, we'll reach out to you to have a chat about what we can do to help you along your home buying journey. Following this we'll arrange a time for an initial appointment that suits you.
Initial Consultation
Your initial consultation can be done remotely over Teams, over the phone, or if you prefer face to face.
During your initial consultation with us, we'll take the time to understand your unique situation and discuss your mortgage needs. We'll ask lots of questions to make sure we can tailor our recommendations to suit your unique circumstances.
AiP
Your dedicated mortgage adviser will explain the buying process and will work with you to calculate how much you're able to borrow.
With your consent, a Agreement in Principle (AiP) can be completed which provides you with confirmation a lender is happy to lend based upon your circumstances. The AiP is a non-binding offer by the lender that they may be able to offer you a loan based on the information you have provided and subject to their underwriting requirements.
It should be noted that an AiP is not a guarantee that the lender will grant a loan.
House Hunting!
Once you have an Agreement in Principle, you are ready to start viewing houses! We will keep in touch until you have found the perfect home and are ready to apply for the mortgage.
Application and Completion
We will then complete the application with you with the chosen lender and submit all the necessary paperwork on your behalf, liaising with you, yours and the sellers estate agents and solicitors right through to the day of completion. We're not satisfied until we get a picture of you holding the keys to your new home!

Cannot thank Paula and Louise enough! They’re responsive, efficient, honest and genuinely care about their customers and getting the best outcome as soon as possible. Communication, at every stage, has been second to none. Thank you, thank you, thank you for easing the stress, not adding to it!
A huge thank you to Paula & Louise, who made buying our first home so seamless. Buying your first home can seem like such a daunting process, but Belle Maison provides clear guidance on what’s required from start to finish. We would highly recommend Paula & Louise, they really are experts in their field. Super knowledgable & personable ๐.
Couldn’t recommend Paula & the team highly enough. Always had the answers, worked very hard to make our dream possible. Forever grateful.
Wow, what can I say....Claire's advice and support right from the very start was absolutely outstanding! Our application wasn't straight forward, but with Claire's vast experience and knowledge, she got us there to buy our dream forever home! Claire was patient, positive, professional and prompt in her responses (lots of P's there!), and also very flexible with appointments. I would 1000% recommend Claire! Thank you again Claire.
We would like to thank Paula for all her hard work, guidance, and support throughout our mortgage process. Her expertise, patience, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We appreciate how she took the time to explain each step clearly, answer all our questions, and ensure we felt confident in every decision we made. We're incredibly grateful for the care she put into helping us secure the right mortgage. Thanks for all your efforts, as we look forward to this new chapter in our lives with peace of mind. We definitely won't hesitate to recommend Belle Maison to our friends or family in need of a super reliable, personable and knowledgeable mortgage advisor! ๐ We would also like to thank Louise who was great at keeping in touch with us. She provided us with regular updates throughout the whole process๐
We would like to thank Paula and Louise at Belle Maison Mortgages. At just 21 years old we never thought we would be able to get a mortgage, never mind get the home we have. Thankyou for all the support, not even just with the house buying process, but with everything! I know Paula is only just a text away with any financial questions, even after the mortgage is done and dusted and we are in our home ๐ Thankyou to you both, you really make dreams come true ๐
