Being a Junior doctor can mean you’re income is spread thin across training fees, relocation costs and exams fees making it hard to save for a home.
And with most banks requiring a 20% deposit to avoid the pricey Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI), the hope of homeownership for many aspiring doctors is often a distant dream.
As a niche broker specialising in mortgages for medical professionals, Walshs has access to a full panel of lenders, including specialist banks with medical-specific policies.
Specialty lending arrangements include unique policies tailored to doctors that negate the need for hefty deposits. In fact, Walshs can arrange owner-occupied and investment loans with a 5% deposit and no LMI.
The firm also has a future income policy that enables doctors to borrow more, based on their prospective payslip rather than their current income.
“For junior doctors, the most difficult part of the purchase process isn’t a lack of deposit but rather the bank lending them enough money,” Walshs Director Peter Hodgson, says.
“Most, if not all banks in Australia determine how much people can borrow based on their current income but at Walshs, we use an income two years ahead of a hospital-based doctor’s current pay grade,” he says.
“This allows our clients to buy sooner and buy a better asset because they can borrow more.”
