Applying for a Mortgage While on Maternity Leave?
It Shouldn’t Be This Difficult.
Getting a mortgage should be a straightforward process — but if you're currently on maternity leave, you might be facing unexpected hurdles.
Maybe a lender has told you that your income doesn’t qualify, even though your finances are stable. Or perhaps you’ve been offered far less than expected because your current pay reflects your maternity leave, not your usual earnings. Some banks may even treat your application as higher risk, simply because you’re temporarily away from work.
It’s Not You — It’s How Lenders View Maternity Leave.
Most high street lenders take a rigid, short-sighted view when it comes to maternity leave. They often assess affordability based on your current reduced income — ignoring any enhanced maternity pay, return-to-work agreements, or future salary projections.
Even if you have a confirmed return-to-work date or you're receiving top-up pay from your employer, some lenders still treat your application as if your income has permanently dropped. And if you're planning to return part-time or rely on partner income or benefits, that too might be overlooked.
The Right Lender and Approach Makes All the Difference.
At Bright Future Mortgage Advisors, we work with lenders who take a more flexible and realistic approach. We understand that maternity leave is temporary — and we’ll help you find a mortgage provider who sees the bigger picture.
We can match you with lenders who consider your pre-leave salary, enhanced maternity pay, official return-to-work plans, and household income — giving you access to the borrowing you actually qualify for, without unnecessary stress or setbacks.
