Buying a home is one of the most rewarding steps in life—but for doctors, the process can feel more complicated due to the nature of your income, contracts, or career stage. That’s where we come in. We specialise in helping doctors secure competitive mortgage deals—whether you’re a junior doctor, GP, consultant, or locum.
This guide covers everything you need to know about how mortgages for doctors work, what options are available, and how we can support you every step of the way.
Can Trainee Doctors Get a Mortgage?
Yes—if you receive a bursary or stipend during training, some lenders (such as West Brom) are willing to count this as income. We’ll help you present your case effectively to the right lender.
Junior Doctor Mortgages
Being on a fixed-term foundation contract doesn’t mean you can’t get a mortgage. Many lenders will work with junior doctors—even those with only six months on a new contract. We know which lenders are more flexible and how to present your employment track record to gain approval.
Locum Doctor Mortgages
You can absolutely get a mortgage as a locum. Most lenders will want to see at least 12 months of consistent locum income, supported by invoices or bank statements. We’ll help package this in a way that lenders are confident to support.
We understand how doctors’ careers and income structures can be complex—but we also know how to work with lenders who understand your profession. Whether you’re newly qualified, moving hospital, or working locum shifts, we’ll help you:
