Local insight: Springfield and Ipswich

Many professionals in Springfield and Ipswich commute to Brisbane or work locally in growing business precincts such as Springfield Central. We find lenders whose professional packages suit your situation.

Professional home loans in Springfield and Ipswich: how we help

Our professional clients include lawyers, accountants, engineers, IT specialists and managers who work locally in Springfield Central or the Ipswich CBD, or commute into Brisbane. Many earn part of their income as bonuses, commissions or overtime, or have recently changed employers. Lenders treat each of these differently, and some will only count part of a bonus or want two years of history. We make sure the income you earn is counted properly before you apply.

Some lenders offer eligible professionals a home loan above 80% of the property value with lenders mortgage insurance waived or reduced. The list of eligible occupations, the memberships or registrations needed and the minimum income all vary from lender to lender, and they change from time to time. We check the current policy for your occupation, then compare it with standard options and any government scheme you may qualify for.

A HECS-HELP balance, a novated car lease or salary sacrifice can also change your borrowing power, sometimes more than people expect. Our guide to HECS debt and home loans explains how lenders look at it. You can also read our guides for lawyers and accountants, or see the suburbs popular with professionals.

If it is hard to get away from work, we can start with a phone call. You are also welcome at our Springfield office (Building 9, Level 1, 22 Magnolia Drive, Brookwater) or our Ipswich office (Level 3/16 East Street, Ipswich).

Frequently asked questions

Which professions get LMI waivers?

It depends on the lender. Common examples include some accountants, lawyers and medical professionals, usually with membership and income requirements.

Will lenders count my bonus income?

Many lenders count part of your bonus if it's been paid consistently, usually over the last one to two years.

Can I borrow more as a professional?

Some lenders allow higher loan to value ratios for eligible professionals, which means a smaller deposit.

What if I'm a contractor?

Contractors can often still access professional policies, depending on your contract history.
