Mortgage support throughout your legal career
Whether you're a salaried junior solicitor, an in-house counsel, a salaried partner, or drawing profit share as an equity partner, your income structure matters enormously to lenders – and the way you are paid doesn't always fit neatly into a standard lender's affordability model. We understand how legal careers and compensation work and we know how to present your case to the right lenders.
For junior solicitors & associates
Early in your career, your current salary might not fully reflect your future trajectory. We provide access to lenders who offer ‘professional mortgages,’ which can provide higher income multiples or more flexible terms based on your qualified status and anticipated career path.
For salaried partners & in-house counsel
Moving into senior or in-house roles often involves complex bonus structures and benefits packages. We ensure additional income streams are fully leveraged to maximise your borrowing power, helping you secure the property that reflects your hard-earned success.
For equity partners
Becoming an equity partner is a landmark achievement, but from a lender’s perspective, it shifts you from employed to self-employed. This can lead to difficulties with traditional banks if you haven't held the position for three years. We work with specialist providers who understand partnership accounts, drawings, and capital contributions, allowing you to secure a mortgage based on your actual share of profits from day one.
For barristers & members of the bar
As a self-employed professional with fluctuating aged debt and fee income, your ‘on paper’ earnings can look inconsistent. We specialise in presenting your financial history to lenders who understand the circumstances of your unique cash flow, ensuring your mortgage application is assessed properly.
