The jobs that could stop you getting a mortgage

Dariusz Karpowicz of broker Albion Financial Advice said buyers in these industries “face more scrutiny and challenges” compared to roles such as accountants, because of their statistically lower retirement ages. Mr Karpowicz said: “Jobs that involve physical labour or have higher risks of early retirement due to health issues might struggle to secure a longer-term mortgage. “This means professions like construction workers, firefighters and certain healthcare roles might face more scrutiny and challenges when applying for these extended terms.”
