Professional Mortgages

How Professional Mortgages or Mortgages for Professionals Work

This mortgage gives first-time buyers training to become a solicitor, actuary or accountant, favourable borrowing terms  . To keep repayments low the loan can also be taken over 45 years. First-timers already practising as an architect, doctor, dentist, surveyor or vet may also qualify.


Professional Mortgages Advantages

Many first-time buyers have the potential to earn a high salary but haven't started yet. A professional mortgage takes this into account upfront, saving on the costs and inconvenience of stepping up a rung of the property ladder later down the line.


Professional Mortgages Disadvantages

Studying for these kinds of roles is expensive, so unless you are comfortably funded, a professional mortgage could see you stretched financially.

There is a risk that you might want to leave your training or make a career change further down the line – but your mortgage will be conducive to a higher salary.
