If you are currently training for your MPharm qualification and you are interested in getting on the property ladder, you will have a few options. Most pharmacist students don’t have any income, so you first option is to wait until you are nearing graduation. If you have a job lined up, you can often use this formal job offer to get the ball rolling on your mortgage application.

Another option is to use a guarantor mortgage. This will involve asking a family member or friend who is also a homeowner to act as a guarantor for your mortgage. They will not be listed on the title deed and won’t own any of your property. However, they will need to make your mortgage payments if you are unable to do this. This arrangement is often for a specific period, after which you would be the person solely responsible for your mortgage.

If you have recently qualified and secured a job as a community pharmacist, you will be able to secure a mortgage. Lenders will consider you to be employed on a permanent basis and you will have access to the same lending products as any other applicant. You should be able to borrow around 4x your annual income. You will also be able to make the most of help to buy schemes if this is your first home.

If you are employed by the NHS as a physician associate, you will also be considered to be employed on a permanent basis. As an NHS employee, you will have access to the best possible mortgages. You may be eligible for a key worker mortgage which will offer preferential rates.

If you are a medical sales representative and you are working on a self-employed basis, you will still be eligible for a mortgage. Rather than providing your employer information, you will need to share your tax return information as proof of income. Most mortgage providers will want to see between 1 and 3 years of accounts. If you are newly self-employed and are unable to provide this, you may be able to apply for a mortgage if you have an accountant to confirm your income.

Alternatively, if you are employed by a pharmaceutical company on a permanent basis, you will be able to apply for mortgage products like any other full-time employee.

As a pharmacy technician, you will be employed under the principal pharmacist and work under their supervision. If you would like to secure a mortgage as a pharmacist technician, you should make the most of schemes available to you. These include key worker mortgages, help to buy and shared ownership schemes.

We specialise in working with those with poor credit in order to improve their credit scores and secure a better deal on their mortgage.

Credit scores are only one part of a much bigger picture. Lenders also want to see that you have steady income, a good deposit and that your loan will be affordable. If you suspect that your credit score might be holding you back, get in touch with our team. You can read more about securing a mortgage with bad credit here.
