At New Wave Financial Services, we’ve always believed that specialist mortgage advice is about more than simply finding a lender. It’s about understanding every client’s story, particularly when their income doesn’t fit the traditional mould.

That commitment has now been recognised with two prestigious industry awards in 2026, reaffirming our position as one of the UK’s leading specialists in self-employed and complex income mortgages.

Recognised by the Industry

We are incredibly proud to have been named:

• Winner – Complex Income Category at the British Specialist Lending Awards 2026.
• Self-Employed Mortgage Specialists of the Year 2026 at the SME News UK Enterprise Awards.

These awards are judged by industry professionals and recognise expertise, customer outcomes and commitment to delivering exceptional service.

Why These Awards Matter

For many self-employed people, securing a mortgage can be frustrating. Sole traders, contractors, limited company directors and business owners are often told their circumstances are ‘too complicated’ before anyone has taken the time to fully understand them.

At New Wave, we take a different approach.

We specialise in complex income cases because we know every client’s financial circumstances are unique. Our role is to understand those circumstances, work closely with specialist lenders and find solutions where others see barriers.

A Reflection of Our Team

Whilst these awards are an incredible achievement, they are not about one individual.

They are recognition of every adviser, case manager and member of the New Wave team who works tirelessly behind the scenes to deliver outstanding service for our clients.

They are also a reminder of those who helped build this business. Our founder, David Hamblett, dedicated the British Specialist Lending Award to his late friend and colleague Darren (‘Dazza’), whose passion and commitment played a significant part in shaping New Wave into the business it is today. His legacy continues to inspire our team every day.

Looking Ahead

Winning awards is something we are incredibly proud of, but our focus remains firmly on the future.

We will continue investing in our people, technology and lender relationships to ensure we remain the trusted choice for self-employed clients and anyone with complex income.

Whether you’re purchasing your first home, moving house, remortgaging or expanding your property portfolio, our award-winning team is here to help.

Thank You

To every client who has trusted us with one of life’s biggest financial decisions—thank you.

Your confidence in us has helped make these achievements possible, and we look forward to continuing to deliver the expert, personal service that New Wave Financial Services is known for.

Award-winning expertise. Specialist knowledge. Real people who genuinely care.

That’s the New Wave difference.
