Professional home loans in Australia are tailored financial products specifically designed for people that work in certain industries that the banks deem to be low risk. These may include –
- Doctors
- Dentists
- Lawyers
- Accountants
- Many other Medical Professionals & Specialists
The primary distinguishing feature for these loans is that they are exempt from Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) – a cost typically associated with traditional home loans where the borrowers deposit is less than 20% of the properties value.
Benefits of Professional Home Loans
Purchase with a smaller deposit – As an eligible Professional you are able to purchase a property up to 95% LVR without paying any Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
What does that mean? You can purchase a property with just a 5% deposit. A working example is if you were looking at purchasing an investment property for $750,000 – a traditional home loan would require you to have $150,000 saved for a deposit to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
For eligible Professionals, you could purchase with as little as $37,500 – and pay no LMI.
Competitive Interest Rates – Professional Home Loans come with competitive interest rates too – reflecting the lower risk associated with this group of borrowers.
Tailored Repayment Options – You may be able to switch from Principal & Interest to Interest Only depending on your circumstances.
Fast Approval Process – Professional Home Loans often come with streamlined approval processes. This can be particularly beneficial when dealing with a time sensitive transaction.

It’s important to become educated on your eligibility around these products before you start looking for a property. Depending on the line of work you are in and the lender, will affect the benefit you will receive.
