Professional Mortgage
If you are a professional you may well be able to get a professional mortgage. But, what is a professional mortgage? Who can get a professional mortgage? Do you need a professional mortgage? What are the benefits of a professional mortgage?
We will answer these and many other questions within this guide.
Professional Mortgages
Similarly to all other mortgages, a professional mortgage is a loan secured on a property by Mortgage Deed. As such, the loan can be used to purchase a new property or refinance / remortgage an existing property.
Specifically, a professional mortgage is a mortgage that is designed for people within certain professions. Commonly, mortgage lenders class certain types of work as professional. In particular, these professions can offer more stable employment and clear routes for career progression.
Statistically speaking, stable employment provides enhanced security for the mortgage. As such mortgage lenders generally like professional applicants. To put it another way, they will rally for your business.

Professional Mortgage Rates
Many people ask if they can secure a lower mortgage interest rate through a professional mortgage. Generally, the answer to this question is ‘no’. On balance, the best interest rates are with mortgage products that are available to everyone.
To explain, a professional mortgage is a type of specialist mortgage. Specialist mortgages almost always have a higher interest rate. By definition, if you require a specialist mortgage, there is something ‘extra’ you need the mortgage lender to provide.
Of course some lenders may be happy to go beyond their standard mortgage offering. However, they will want you to pay more in return. In similar fashion to any other service you might purchase. Equally, individuals who take a professional mortgage usually want to borrow more money than a standard mortgage would allow. In return, lenders will charge more than a standard mortgage would normally cost.

Having options can create problems
Clearly as a professional you have worked hard to get where you are. Particularly, years of study while others sat back. Consequently, yow you are in a strong financial position.
Equally, you may have a good deposit and healthy credit rating. As such, you will have lots of options to consider. However, having many choices can pose a modern day issue; having many options and not knowing which path to chose. How many times have you deliberated over what to watch on Netflix or which restaurant to eat at?

How do I choose the best mortgage for me?
