Professional Mortgages

5-6x income
Higher multiples
Lower deposit
Preferential terms
Newly qualified
& training contracts
Lenders recognise that qualified professionals in regulated, high-earning careers represent lower risk, and reward it with higher income multiples, lower deposits and greater flexibility on affordability.

Certain professions benefit from enhanced mortgage terms that are not available through standard applications. Lenders recognise that qualified professionals, particularly those in regulated, high-earning careers, represent a lower risk, and offer products that reflect this: higher income multiples, lower deposit requirements, and greater flexibility on affordability.

Soul Mortgages works with lenders offering professional mortgage products for a wide range of qualified occupations, including:

  • Doctors, GPs, and hospital consultants
  • Dentists and dental surgeons
  • Solicitors and barristers
  • Accountants (ACA, ACCA, CIMA qualified)
  • Actuaries
  • Pharmacists
  • Teachers and headteachers
  • Architects and engineers
  • Newly qualified professionals and those still in training contracts

What Makes Professional Mortgages Different?

Standard mortgage affordability is based on your current income. Professional mortgages can go further by taking into account your projected future earnings, particularly useful for those who are newly qualified, still in training, or recently moved from employed to partnership or self-employed status.

Key benefits can include:

  • Income multiples of up to 5.5x or higher with certain lenders
  • Acceptance of projected income for newly qualified professionals
  • Flexibility on deposit requirements
  • Access to preferential rates not available on the open market
