Hello, Adoni. Welcome to the forums.

Doctors and medical specialists, in particular, are considered low risk by lenders as such when purchasing a medical practice:
  • Medical practice property: Borrow up to 100% of the property value (freehold) with a maximum loan term of 25 years.
  • Medical practice business loan: Borrow up to 100% of the business value (leasehold) including fitout and equipment. Max loan term (leasehold) is 10 years.
  • Waived LMI or 100% no LMI.
  • Interest rate discounts vary from lender to lender and the strength of your application.
  • Low doc loans are available.
  • Principal and interest + interest only repayments available.
  • You may be asked to provide a business plan including business forecasting.
  • You need around 3 to 5 years of experience as a qualified general practitioner (GP) or a medical specialist. Specialist with less experience are considered on a case by case basis
The key is to apply with the right lender.

Hi Adoni,

When borrowing 100% of the property value, typically 90% of the loan will be your standard home loan with standard interest rates and loan term while the remaining 10% will have a shorter loan term and a higher interest rate. With a commercial property, the ratio can be 70:30 as well.

The $500,000 medical practice fit-out will be a separate loan with a max term of 10 years and a higher interest rate.

Please check out the best interest rates on offer from our panel of almost 40 lenders. Significant interest rate discounts can sometimes be negotiated.

Cheers,

Hi Adoni,

When borrowing over $1 million, Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) premiums go through the roof. More importantly, finding an LMI provider that will insure your mortgage becomes harder which means it’s even tougher to get approved.
For example, for a purchase of property worth between $1,050,000 - $1,550,000, you can save anywhere between $24,750 - $39,436 in LMI with a 100% waived LMI loan.

For medical professionals, we can often negotiate interest rate discounts which are normally expressed as a percentage below the Bank Standard Variable Rate (BSV). Normally with a standard professional package, you can get a discount of up to 1.0% below the BSV without any negotiation.

By negotiating with the bank our brokers can often obtain the following interest rates:
  • Loans over $250,000: 1.40% below the BSV (Special offer).
  • Loans over $500,000: 1.45% below the BSV (Special offer).
  • Loans over $1,000,000: 1.50% below the BSV.
  • Loans over $2,500,000: Discounts are negotiated on a case by case basis.
The exact discount that you can receive will depend on your profession, the amount that you are borrowing and the current funding environment. There are many factors to consider when putting in a pricing request and lenders change their special pricing levels on a weekly basis

Speak with one of our specialist mortgage brokers by giving us a call on 1300 889 743 or by filling in our free assessment form to find out if you qualify for a 100% no LMI doctor home loan and interest rate discounts.
