Getting a mortgage as a dentist is not usually too challenging – the only complicated part can be providing your income, especially if you are Self-Employed. Heritage has helped many dentists find a good value loan and buy a home.
What mortgages are there for dentists?
There aren’t any specific mortgages just for dentists, but you should have access to the full breadth of mortgage types. Whether you’re a First Time Buyer or seeking to remortgage, most lenders see dentists as valuable customers.
You will need to think about the type of mortgage product that you prefer. Many First Time Buyers opt for a fixed-rate mortgage to protect against interest rate rises. If your mortgage payments are easily affordable, though, it can sometimes be cheaper to choose a variable rate.
You will also need to choose between a repayment or an interest-only deal. We will help you explore the pros and cons of the different mortgage types.
How much can I borrow on a Mortgage for Dentists?
The amount you can borrow will depend on a number of factors:
Deposit
The greater the deposit you have available, the more appealing you’ll be to a mortgage lender. The minimum deposit is 5% of the property value – but a deposit this small will mean high interest rates.
If you can contribute 15% or more you’ll get cheaper rates and a broader choice of mortgage products. For a Buy to Let mortgage, however, the minimum deposit is usually 25%.
Income
Your income will also determine how much you can borrow. Lenders will usually offer you around four to five times your salary, and you will need to prove your income as part of the application.
Credit history
Every financial services provider will check your credit score as part of their approval process, and it’s the same for mortgages. Bad credit won’t necessarily stop you from getting a mortgage, but you can expect to pay higher interest rates.
Your employment status
Your employment status has an influence over the mortgage too, particularly because it will affect how you prove your income. If you’re employed, you simply supply payslips, while the Self-Employed may be asked for various bits of documentation.
Age
For most mortgage deals, you will need to be under a certain age at the end of the term – the limit is typically 75.
Dependants
Lenders will ask about your marital status and whether you have children, to understand your income, spending, and mortgage affordability.
Type of property
The home you’re buying can also affect your mortgage application. Different rules apply if the property is a flat above a business, if it’s a listed building, or if it needs a lot of construction work.

Mortgages for Self-Employed Dentists
People often believe that it is harder for Self-Employed people to get a mortgage. This isn’t usually the case for dentists – it’s really a question of proving your earnings to the lender.
Self-Employed dentists are often asked for tax self-assessment forms stating their annual income. Meanwhile, if you run your own dental practice you will often need to submit 2-3 years of accounts.
Every mortgage company will have its own lending criteria, however, which will guide the documentation needed. In addition to evidence of your income, you will often need to provide several months’ worth of bank statements.
How can Mortgage Brokers help?

I cannot express the quality of service received as a first time buyer from Luke at Heritage Mortgages. No query to big or small, with quick responses alongside an exemplary level of service, Luke secured a great result during the pandemic so I could purchase my beautiful new home. Great market knowledge surrounding self-employed earnings was clearly evident and secured the desired result. Thank you!
Annabelle is a top notch Mortgage broker. She took a year of silly questions, being stupid and setbacks from me and she stuck by me and got me my mortgage on my first home. She’s an excellent person who just thoroughly loves her job and wants to see people happy in their homes. Could not recommend anyone higher! Thank you Annabelle.
Highly recommend Annabelle, she is a fantastic broker, she sorted our remortgage in a flash! My hubby and I were concerned about the process due to him being self employed but Annabelle got us a DIP in no time at all, a mortgage offer within days and I’m happy to say we’ve just completed. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received, it was faultless – thank you! So if you are reading this and like us you are hesitant about speaking to a broker I’d say just do it, Annabelle took away all the stress and got us a great deal. ?
