Adrian was so helpful throughout our whole house buying journey! We don’t think we’d get accepted for a mortgage but with his efforts we managed to find a lender who accepted us! Highly recommend:)

Check EligibilityNHS Mortgage FAQs
Yes, newly qualified staff can get a mortgage. Lenders may consider future income potential and may offer professional mortgages. It’s important to discuss options with an adviser who understands NHS employment conditions.
Yes, NHS staff can apply for mortgages with no deposit, often through schemes like Shared Ownership or with a guarantor. These require specific eligibility criteria. A mortgage broker can provide tailored advice based on your circumstances.
Yes, NHS overtime can be included, but it must be presented correctly. Lenders vary, with some only considering base salary, so it’s crucial to work with brokers who understand NHS income structures.
Generally, NHS staff can borrow 4.5 to 5.5 times their income. Some may access professional mortgages that allow borrowing up to 6 times their income, depending on the lender’s assessment of income and expenses.
Yes, but NHS staff with bad credit can still find options. Some lenders are lenient and specialize in bad credit cases, especially if employment is stable, although rates might be higher.
It’s possible for NHS employees on zero-hours contracts to get a mortgage if they can show income consistency. Specialist lenders and brokers can present these scenarios effectively to acceptable lenders.
Typically, NHS mortgage applications require an employment contract, recent payslips, bank statements, proof of additional income like overtime, and identification documents.
Doctors may access professional mortgages offering higher borrowing limits or better terms due to potential for career income growth. Specialist brokers can find tailor-made deals for doctors.
Maintaining a strong credit history, providing clear income evidence, and using a mortgage broker who understands NHS-specific challenges can enhance approval chances.
Shared ownership allows NHS workers to buy a portion of a home and pay rent on the rest. It requires a smaller deposit based on the share purchased, making home buying more accessible.
The process varies but typically takes a few weeks from application to offer. It depends on lender timelines and the complexity of the individual’s financial situation.
Fees & disclosure
We offer a no mortgage offer, no fee payable service. All advice is free. If you choose to proceed, a transparent application fee is payable only after we secure your formal mortgage offer. We will confirm the amount, conditions and payment stage in writing before any application is submitted and on the calls from the outset. We also receive a standard procuration fee from lenders; this does not increase the amount you pay.
Key risk warnings
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.
The value of your property may go down as well as up.
Some forms of Buy-to-Let, bridging and commercial finance are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
