Mortgage Advice For Social Workers
Social work income can include permanent, fixed-term, temporary, agency or public sector arrangements. Some lenders may be comfortable with these structures while others may need more evidence.

Mortgage Guidance For Your Profession
Every application is different, so these areas should be reviewed against your income, deposit, credit profile and lender criteria.
Newly qualified social workers
If you are early in your career, lenders may consider your contract, probation position, income evidence and deposit.
Experienced social workers
A longer employment history may help with some lenders, depending on income, affordability and credit profile.
Temporary or fixed-term contracts
Fixed-term, temporary or agency work may still be considered by some lenders, subject to your track record and evidence.
Income evidence
Payslips, contracts, employer letters or other documents may be needed to support affordability and income assessment.
Council home or ownership routes
Right to Buy, shared ownership or other ownership routes may be relevant depending on eligibility, scheme availability and your circumstances.
Poor credit or complex circumstances
If your credit profile is not straightforward, specialist lender options may be worth reviewing, subject to criteria.
