Types of Employment & Income
We specialise in helping Professionals & Key Workers secure mortgages by presenting a comprehensive view of your financial position.
The flexibility of locum work, supply teaching, or zero-hour contracts presents unique challenges when applying for a mortgage. Lenders typically require a consistent and stable earnings history, which can be harder to provide with these types of employment arrangements.
Our advisers have extensive experience in this area can help with the following areas:
Building a strong case based on your day rate and work history.
Presenting your income in the most effective way.
Connecting you with lenders who have a positive track record of lending to locum and contract workers with a common sense approach.
Please get in touch to arrange a meeting to discuss your situation in more detail and get an idea of how our brokers can help.
-
Locum Income can be complex — with variable hours, agency payments, and multiple contracts.
Our team specialises in arranging mortgages for locum doctors, solicitors, and healthcare professionals by working with lenders who take a flexible approach to income assessment.
-
Bank Work offers flexibility but can make your income appear irregular to some lenders.
Our team specialises in arranging mortgages for NHS bank staff, healthcare professionals, and key workers by partnering with lenders who recognise the stability and reliability of NHS employment — even on a zero-hours or ad-hoc basis.
-
Supply Teachers often have variable income and short-term contracts, which can make getting a mortgage feel more challenging.
Our advisors specialise in helping teachers secure the right mortgage by working with lenders who appreciate the consistency and reliability of your profession — even when your work is flexible or term-based.
-
Flexible or “Non Guaranteed” work shouldn’t limit your ability to buy a home. Many people now work on zero-hours or variable contracts — and with the right approach, securing a mortgage is absolutely possible.
Our expert advisors work with lenders who recognise your real earning potential, not just your contract type.
-
Income for Partners and Company Directors often looks different on paper — with dividends, profit shares, or retained earnings making up a large part of your income.
We specialise in presenting your full financial picture clearly to lenders who appreciate business ownership and entrepreneurial success.
-
Earnings today don’t always reflect your future potential. Whether you’ve recently qualified, secured a promotion, or are moving into a higher-paying role, we work with lenders who take a forward-looking approach to affordability.
-
Many professionals earn a significant part of their income through bonuses, overtime or commission — and that this can make mortgage applications more complex.
We work with lenders who recognise your total earning potential, not just your basic salary.
