Mortgages for Care and Support Workers
Lenders assess your income differently depending on how you work. Here’s how we help care professionals make the most of their earnings.
Employed Care Workers:
If you’re on a PAYE contract, lenders assess your income using payslips and P60s. Regular overtime or night pay can often be included in your affordability calculation if it’s consistent.
Agency or Umbrella Care Workers:
If you’re paid through an agency or umbrella company, your payslips, remittance statements, and bank statements are key evidence. We help present them clearly to show your real earning power.
Self-Employed Support Workers:
If you work independently or through your own limited company, lenders may use your contract value, invoices, or recent bank statements to assess your income.

The care industry is one of the UK’s most stable and essential sectors. Lenders recognise the strong demand for qualified care professionals, giving you access to flexible borrowing terms.
