What lenders look at for professionals

Lenders usually want to see stable, provable income and a track record in your field. For a salaried professional that is straightforward. For a partner, contractor, locum or practice owner, income often arrives through distributions, invoices or a trust, so the documents and the way they are presented matter as much as the amount.

Some lenders have specific policies for eligible professions, such as higher loan-to-value ratios or different treatment of lenders mortgage insurance. Which occupations qualify, the conditions and the limits vary between lenders and change often, so we confirm what currently applies to your profession before you plan around it.

How Mortgagefy helps

Policy matched to your profession

We check which lenders currently treat your occupation, career stage and contract type most favourably.

Income that is not a simple payslip

Partnership, ABN, locum and contract income are assessed differently. We explain what each lender wants to see.

Early-career and high-debt starts

Student debt, a short employment history or a recent registration can be workable with the right lender.

One broker for home and business finance

If you own part of a practice or firm, we can coordinate your personal loan with practice or equipment finance.

Each guide below covers how that profession is typically assessed, what documents to prepare and the common sticking points. If yours is not listed, call us and we will tell you what we can do.

Frequently asked questions

Some lenders do, for eligible occupations. These can include higher loan-to-value ratios or different treatment of lenders mortgage insurance. Which professions qualify and on what conditions varies by lender and changes, so we confirm current policy for your situation before you rely on it.

Yes. Lenders usually assess partnership, contractor and ABN income using tax returns and financials, and some will consider shorter histories with alternative documentation. The trade-offs can include a larger deposit or higher pricing, which we explain.

It can, because lenders include repayments in their assessment. How much it matters depends on the lender and your income, so tell us about it early.

A short track record can limit options, but some lenders are more flexible for new graduates in certain professions. Having a signed employment contract and a clear savings history helps.

Sometimes, on a signed employment contract. Some lenders require you to have started or finished probation. Check before you resign or exchange.

The first assessment is free and there is no obligation. We explain how we are paid, including any lender commission, before you decide to proceed.
