Mortgages FOR SPORTS PROFESSIONALS
The main difference between a standard mortgages and a mortgage for a professional sports person is how lenders approach the shorter term nature of your occupation.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFICULTIES PROFESSIONAL SPORTS PEOPLE HAVE SECURING MORTGAGES?
One of the main issues when securing finance for sports professionals is that income is often obtained from multiple sources including the fixed term contract, image rights, sponsorship and advertising.
A lot of lenders will not lend to clients with fixed term contracts. The other issue is the shorter term nature of professional sports, with lenders often not allowing the mortgage term beyond the age of 35. This can result in the lender declining to lend on the basis that the term of the mortgage must finish by the age of 35, this often makes the mortgage unaffordable with the loan term starting and finishing in such a short period of time.
