NHS staff have access to special mortgage options designed to make homeownership more accessible for healthcare workers. While there isn't an official "NHS mortgage" product, many lenders offer exclusive deals and benefits specifically for NHS employees. Here's how Mortgage Tree can help you navigate these options.
Types of Mortgage Options for NHS Staff
NHS Professional Mortgages
Some lenders offer enhanced lending criteria for NHS professionals, including:
Higher income multiples (5-6x salary instead of standard 4-5x)
Inclusion of regular overtime and shift allowances in affordability calculations
Special consideration for contract workers and newly qualified professionals
Lower deposit requirements (as low as 5%)
Key Worker Mortgage Schemes
NHS employees often qualify for key worker schemes, which can provide:
Shared ownership options (buying a percentage of a property)
Help to Buy equity loans with favorable terms
Discounted rates compared to standard mortgages
NHS Credit Union Mortgages
Some healthcare-specific credit unions offer mortgage products with:
Competitive interest rates
Flexible repayment options
More lenient credit requirements for NHS members
