Locum doctor mortgage

Specialist mortgages for Locums

Locum doctor mortgage advice

Many Professionals today work on a self-employed basis as Locums. As well as Locum Doctors these include, Locum Pharmacists, Dentists, Opticians, Veterinary Surgeons, and Accountants.

The Locum trading status causes a problem when raising a locum doctor mortgage. A mortgage lender will generally treat the Locum as self-employed, asking for two or three years trading history and proof of income before they will start an application. This is a problem if you have only recently started trading.

We can arrange a locum doctor mortgage for professionals who have started trading recently and are not in a position to provide two years trading figures. We do this by working with specialist Banks and Building Societies that have funds earmarked to provide our Locum clients with lending for these types of scenarios.

In order to arrange this type of locum doctor mortgage, be prepared to present ideally with a good credit history and reasonable sized deposit (e.g. 15%) – although other situations can be considered. Each case is considered on its own merits, this gives you maximum opportunity to be successful with your mortgage application.
