Freelancing, mortgages and the bank

Hi. I have a joint mortgage that is on a variable rate. My partner is working full time and I have just quit full time employment to do freelancing. The mortgage was about 2.7 x our joint income, so affordable. As a result we have some money put aside. I also have freelancer work lined up, but not at the same level as what I was getting paid (for just now).
We've had the mortgage for 2.5 years and i've been a customer with the bank for about 17 years (not that I think that matters now!). Should I tell the bank I'm now freelancing or wait until I have a more predictable income?
What are the likely outcomes? And the risks in not advising initially?
Thanks.

Unless you're applying for more money, changing lenders etc there is no need to inform them.0
