Key things to consider as a Sports Professional

Lending Risk

Despite your potential high net worth, professional athletes like yourself are often viewed as a lending risk by mortgage lenders due to the short-term fixed contracts on offer from most sports clubs

Unpredictable Income

Many sportspeople receive sporadic income from factors such as bonuses, sponsorship, and appearance fees, which can be difficult for mortgage lenders to assess.

Portability

Sportspeople like yourself may need to relocate frequently as part of your role, which means the portability of a potential mortgage deal is important.

Age and Retirement

Sporting careers tend to have a shorter shelf life than others, with many sports professionals retiring in their 30s or 40s. This may impact your ability to obtain a mortgage, as some lenders may be hesitant to lend based on your age and predicted retirement age.

As a sports professional, obtaining a mortgage can be a complicated process. As we’ve learnt, lenders often view athletes as a lending risk due to their short-term contracts, sporadic income, and potential for injury. Additionally, frequent relocation and retirement age may also impact your ability to secure a mortgage.

Prospect Tree Mortgages understand these challenges and specialise in providing bespoke mortgage solutions for sports professionals. Let’s help you navigate the mortgage process with ease and secure the best mortgage deal for your unique situation. Contact us today to discuss your options and take the first step towards your dream home.
