Mortgages for Doctors

Mortgages for Doctors can be a challenge, as more often than not we see complex employment set ups such as fixed term contracting, locum work and self-employment.

Naturally, we also see higher amounts of student debt and higher NHS pension contributions, which can have an impact on lending.

However, with the right guidance, the process can be less of a headache.

What is a Doctor mortgage?

When we use the term “Mortgages for Doctors”, sometimes referred to as “Doctor mortgages”, we aren’t talking about a specific mortgage product, but rather a type of applicant, similar to when we say “NHS mortgages”.

Benefits of being a Doctor when applying for a mortgage

Although getting a mortgage as a Doctor can be complicated, it can come with benefits too.

For example, as there tends to be good progression being a Doctor, some lenders may lend a higher amount, particularly if you’re newly qualified.

Another benefit is that you may not require a minimum amount of time in employment before applying for a mortgage.

Do lenders offer discounts on mortgages for Doctors?

Whilst most applicants will have similar mortgage options available, subject to affordability and credit history, some lenders may offer lower rates for NHS staff.

Better yet, as a continued thank you to all heroes at the NHS, Rosehill offer a heavily reduced fee with our NHS incentive.

How much can I borrow for a Doctor mortgage?

Ultimately, the amount you can borrow will be subject to full income, expenditure and credit history, just like other applicants.

A good starting point would be around 4x – 4.5x your income (jointly if you’re buying with someone), assuming you have no debts or dependents.

However, some lenders allow professionals like yourself to borrow a higher amount.

What documents will I need?

Typically you’ll need:

  1. Proof of ID
  2. Proof of address
  3. Proof of income
  4. Proof of deposit (if purchasing)
  5. Full credit report

 

The main varying details here will be your proof of income, as this will depend on your employment type.

It’s best to speak to a specialist mortgage broker to discuss the specific documents required for your individual circumstances.
