Why Choose Us?

Mortgages for Barristers

As a barrister it may come as a surprise to find that you may face difficulties when getting a high-value mortgage that reflects your professional status and you may need to look beyond the high street lenders for the right solution for you.

Because of the structure of working practices within the legal profession and in particular the self-employed status of barristers, a standard mortgage affordability check may not give an accurate picture of your true financial worth as a barrister.  The nature of payment for barristers is often sporadic, although overall earnings may be high.

Situations such as drawn-out court cases, chasing payments from clients, and the cost of chambers, legal memberships and travel can all add up and can mean that your demonstrable monthly income fluctuates. This can be misunderstood by standard mortgage lenders, who may not have the specialist knowledge to understand the nature of your work as a barrister.

What is more, as a barrister you work for yourself and probably have a hectic schedule, which can leave little time for seeking out the right mortgage deal from an understanding lender. Our independent mortgage team can help you to find specialist mortgage deals for barristers, saving you time and money.

Mortgage providers who specialise in mortgages for barristers are understanding of the nature of the profession and will assess affordability on a basis that is tailored to the income structure of the legal profession.

Benefits of specialist mortgage deals for barristers

A good quality mortgage for barristers could provide you with a range of features and benefits such as:

• If you are a pupil barrister then you may find it even harder to get a conventional mortgage than your more established colleagues. This is because many standard mortgage providers require three years’ proof of earning to offer a self-employed mortgage deal. As a trainee barrister you may not be able to provide three years’ worth of accounts. What is more, your earnings may increase significantly each year during your training, which means that your potential mortgage lender could fail to get a true picture of your actual earning potential once you have qualified.

• Mortgages at up to 90% loan to value (LTV) may be available under certain circumstances

• Help to find the best interest rates that reflect your true earning capacity

• Flexible repayment conditions tailored to your financial situation
