Compare Mortgage for Newly Qualified Doctors

If you are a newly qualified doctor or a junior doctor undergoing foundation training, the early years of your medical career are likely to be based on fixed-term contracts rather than permanent roles.

This is great for gaining the experience you need to succeed, but it can make getting a mortgage more difficult. This is because mortgage lenders tend to favour potential borrowers with what they see as a stable employment record. In order to get a mortgage it can be a good idea to approach mortgage lenders who understand the unique nature of newly qualified doctors’ contracts.  

As a newly qualified doctor you may be keen to buy a higher end property that reflects your true earning potential. A specialist mortgage provider can help you get a mortgage based on your specific requirements.

Mortgages for new GPs

If you are a recently qualified doctor and are joining a GP practice as a new partner, you could find that standard mortgage lenders class you to be newly self employed and therefore a lending risk.

Because as a GP you are self employed (at least technically) you could face many of the pitfalls also encountered by people in less stable self-employment when it comes to trying to obtain a mortgage deal.

Mortgages for new locum doctors

Locum work can be a great way to gain experience as a newly qualified doctor, but it can also be a headache when it comes to getting a mortgage.

This is because as a locum you will not have a permanent employment contract and this can be a red flag to mortgage lenders who may see you as a greater lending risk.

This can be especially true if you are a new locum as you will not be in a position to provide several years’ worth of accounts to prove your past income and job stability.

Fortunately, specialist mortgage providers for doctors can help you to get a mortgage that takes your circumstances into account.
