Why Professionals Need Specialist Mortgages

High-earning professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, accountants, and engineers, often earn £80k–£200k annually (ONS, 2024) but face mortgage hurdles due to complex income structures (e.g. bonuses, contracts) or high debt-to-income ratios. With 19% of UK households renting privately (ONS, 2024), many professionals seek to buy homes or invest in buy-to-let properties for wealth-building.

Key highlights:

  • High Borrowing Power: Loans up to £1.5m for a £250k salary (6x income).
  • Flexible Underwriting: Accounts for bonuses, locum work, or private practice income.
  • Property Growth: UK homes appreciate 4.3% annually, ideal for investment.
  • Hotspots: London, Bristol, and Manchester offer strong resale and rental potential (5.7% yields).

A mortgage for professionals unlocks these opportunities, but high street banks often impose strict criteria. Fox Davidson’s expertise ensures you secure the best deal for your situation, whether for a home or investment property.
