Home Loans for Doctors

Our mortgage brokers work around the clock to ensure you receive the highest customer service possible while providing maximum value to help you get the best possible deal on the market.

Here are just some of the benefits of choosing to work with us:

Waived lenders mortgage insurance 

Lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) applies to all home loans when the home buyer or property investor takes out a loan 80% or more of the property value. 

For example, a home buyer seeking to purchase a property valued at $2,000,000 with a $200,000 deposit would be required to pay LMI. In this instance, they would only have 10% as a deposit and would be required to borrow 90% of the remaining loan from the lender. The lender will then apply LMI to cover the risk.

Lenders perceive doctors as ‘low risk’ occupations compared to many other borrowers. As a result, they are granted special deals that potentially include a full LMI waiver that enables doctors to borrow up to 95% of the property value.

However, some conditions apply. To be eligible for an LMI waiver for doctors, you need to e AHPRA registered and working as a certified doctor. AHPRA registration must be general or specialist as a ‘Registration Type’. If your registration type is limited or provisional you can still be eligible.

We encourage all Australian doctors to contact us and speak with one of our senior mortgage brokers. Our brokers will be able to accurately provide you with detailed insights into how you can save on lenders’ mortgage insurance as an eligible medical professional.

All financial lenders consider medical professionals, especially doctors, low risk’. Special home loans for doctors were naturally conceived from this idea; each lender or bank should attract as many doctors as possible and have you bank with them.

To summarise, the two main reasons why doctors receive favoured treatment include:

• Doctors have a statistical track record of paying their home loans on time.

• Doctors are regarded as low-risk borrowers earning a high income.

• Becoming a qualified doctor is a career-long commitment, signalling a reduction of risk compared to other occupations.

• Doctors possess one of the most sought-after skills, meaning their financial stability is unlikely to be interrupted by external factors.

• You will need to be currently employed as a doctor or a qualified medical professional
• Unlike other professions that also receive LMI waivers, there are no minimum income requirements.
• Current AHPRA registration

Yes, with a few select banks! The loan will be split into two:

Split 1: Standard 95% home loan without having to pay lenders’ mortgage insurance.

Split 2: An exertion loan for the remaining 5% & costs (stamp duty, bank fees & legal costs).

• Maximum of the loan amount: $500,000
• Interest rate: 10% to 15% pa
• Loan term: 5 to 10 years

To be eligible, you must either be self-employed for more than 2 years OR registered with AHPRA as a specialist.

This product is not available through retail branches. Additionally, if you run your own medical practice, special rules may apply. Speak with a senior mortgage broker on 1300 030 388 or enquire online to find out if you qualify.

Doctors often have unusual income structures that all banks do not accept. You don’t want to be caught out by approaching a bank that won’t accept your income.

Here is a breakdown of various income structures (applicable to doctors and other medical professionals) that lenders will accept:

• Base PAYG salary for permanent part/full time: 100% is accepted
• Casual Income: 100% is acceptable. Most banks require 12 months with your current employer. However, a few banks can consider casual income with as little as 3 months or less with your employer.
• Overtime: A few banks will consider 100%; however, most banks generally only accept 80%. You will need to be with your employer for at least 3 months.
• Allowances: Depending upon the allowance, 100% can be considered; otherwise, generally, only 80% is acceptable.
• Invoices paid to your ABN: 2 year tax returns are generally required. However, depending on how long you’ve been getting paid through invoices, a combination of invoices, BAS, interim tax returns & evidence of your previous income can be accepted. Some lenders allow an ABN as little as 6 months old to be accepted.
• Business income from running your practice: 2 year tax returns are generally required. However, depending on how long you’ve been self-employed, a combination of business activity statements & interim tax returns can be accepted.

Depending on the value of your home loan, we can save you within the tens of thousands of dollars on your doctor home loan.

We pay doctors, on average, $11,850 to cover their annual loan fees, saving them thousands of dollars through the lifetime of their loan.

Don’t risk it! Our specialist mortgage brokers have assessed thousands of credit checks for medical professionals and can easily pinpoint where we can help you save. Whether you’re a medical professional looking to purchase your first home or investment property or refinance your home loan, we can help.

Of course! We negotiate with CommBank, NAB, ANZ or Westpac to approve your doctor’s home loan. 

It’s no surprise that most doctors and medical professionals prefer to bank with either of the big four banks; we get it! Given their reputation and size, most feel secure knowing that sufficient resources are available. They also offer a wide range of financial products, enabling great convenience for busy professionals.

If you meet the criteria set by the big four banks, you should be eligible for a doctor home loan.

If you’re in a tough financial position, such as issues related to previous loan defaults or poor credit history, don’t worry. We may still get you a competitive interest rate with one of the big four banks. All doctor home loans are different, and we encourage you to first speak with our senior mortgage broker before deciding.
