New job home loan

Started a new job? Find out how to get approved!

Congratulations on starting your new job! Many people decide to buy their first home or investment property when they have found a stable job with an excellent income.

Unfortunately many banks will not lend to people who have only been employed for a short period of time. So how can you achieve your great Australian dream of home ownership?

How long do I need to be in my job?

Most banks require you to be a minimum of 6 months to 12 months in your current position to borrow 80% of the property value and a minimum of 12 months in your role to borrow more than 80%.

Our best lender for people in new jobs can approve home loans for people who have been in their job at least one day on a case by case basis. They have no problems with people who have been in their new job for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or more.

Please enquire online or contact us to speak to a mortgage broker that specialises in arranging loans for people who have been employed for only a short term.

How much can I borrow?

You can borrow up to 95% of the value of the property that you are buying. Discounted professional packages, basic loans and line of credits are available.

Why are most lenders so conservative?

Many lenders are very risk adverse and are concerned that if you have not been in your job for very long then you have a higher chance of leaving your job or your employment being terminated during your probation period.

Not all lenders require you to be in your job for more than a year before approving your loan. In fact many lenders understand that younger generations are in high demand, are highly skilled and are career opportunists that actively change jobs to seek a higher salary or better working conditions.
