We Help Doctors On Average Save $100,000 On Their Home Loans

Buying a new home can be financially challenging, especially with upfront costs such as the initial deposit, stamp duty, and legal fees. Fortunately, if you’re a medical professional, you may be eligible for specialised home loan solutions that make the path to homeownership more accessible and affordable.

One option is through Commonwealth Bank (CBA) Medico Plus, which offers significant benefits, including a Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) waiver. Suppose you hold recognised medical qualifications in a high-demand, low-risk profession. In that case, CBA considers you a favourable applicant. This lets doctors like you buy a home with less than the standard 20% deposit, saving you thousands.

At Zenith, we’re here to guide you through every step of this tailored lending program—helping you understand your eligibility, maximise your benefits, and simplify the loan process.

Securing a home loan as a doctor is simple when you work with Zenith. Here’s a clear, step-by-step guide to the process:

Step 1: Consultation

The first step in the process is to schedule a consultation with us. We’ll assess your financial situation, discuss your goals, and help you understand the benefits available to you as a medical professional. This consultation allows us to determine your eligibility for LMI waivers and exclusive discounted rates.

At this stage, we also make sure that your income and financial profile are maximised to give you the best chance of securing a loan.

Step 2: Submit Documents

Once we’ve assessed your eligibility, we’ll guide you through the document submission process. Common documents include:

  • Payslips or tax returns (for self-employed doctors)
  • Employment contracts
  • Identification documents
  • Asset and liability statements

If you are refinancing an existing loan, we will also need to collect details of your current loan balance, interest rates, and repayment history.

Step 3: Loan Application Review

After reviewing your documents, we will present suitable lending options for you to consider. The chosen lender will then assess your loan application. This includes evaluating your income, employment stability, credit history, and the amount you wish to borrow. Doctors generally have an advantage here, as lenders consider them low-risk borrowers.

Zenith specialises in presenting your income in the best possible light, even in complex cases. We understand how to maximise your financial position and present your case to lenders in a way that boosts your borrowing power and helps you secure the best deal.

Step 4: Pre-Approval

Once the lender reviews your application, you will receive pre-approval. This gives you an indication of how much you can borrow and helps you set your property budget. Pre-approval is also beneficial when negotiating with sellers, as it demonstrates that you are a serious buyer with the financial backing to make a purchase.

Step 5: Final Loan Approval & Settlement

Once you’ve chosen your property, the lender will grant final approval for your home loan. This is when the funds are disbursed, and the settlement process begins. Whether you’re buying a home for the first time or refinancing, Zenith is here to guide you through every step of the way.

Refinancing with Zenith

If you’re already a homeowner and want to refinance your mortgage, Zenith can help you access the best deals available for doctors. Refinancing can be an excellent way to lower your interest rates, consolidate debts, or access equity in your property. We work with multiple lenders to find the most suitable refinance options for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partnering with a mortgage broker like Zenith can significantly streamline your home loan journey. We provide expert advice on loan products carefully tailored to your unique financial situation. By handling the legwork, comparing multiple options, managing paperwork, and negotiating better terms, we save you valuable time and help identify potential hidden fees. As we are not tied to any single lender, we can select the best loan for your needs, ensuring you secure the most suitable deal. Additionally, we proactively review your interest rate multiple times per year to ensure you remain on the most competitive rate available, maximising your savings and giving you long-term peace of mind.

Our services are provided at no cost to you. We receive compensation directly from the lender you choose once your loan is settled, ensuring that you can explore your options without incurring any upfront fees.

Each lender has unique criteria and requirements that must be met before they approve a loan. Our team takes the time to thoroughly analyse your credit history, income situation, and the specific strengths and weaknesses of your financial circumstances. This allows us to match you with the most suitable lender and loan package tailored to your needs. Our experienced professionals will provide you with comprehensive information, ensuring you have everything necessary to make an informed decision.

To begin, we’ll work closely with you to understand your goals and objectives. We’ll then gather and review all necessary supporting documents to ensure we have a comprehensive understanding of your situation. Once we have sufficient information to make a personalised recommendation, the next step will depend on the chosen lender’s processing timeline. This can vary from several weeks to a few months, which is why we strongly advise initiating the process as early as possible, especially when it comes to property purchases, where timing can be crucial.

You may not always qualify for financing from a specific bank. After assessing your unique situation, we’ll work to find you the lowest possible interest rate from eligible lenders. While interest rates are important, they’re just one piece of the puzzle. We’ll also help you consider all other fees and features associated with each loan option, ensuring you have a complete understanding of your choices and can make an informed decision that best suits your needs.

Typically, lenders require a minimum deposit of 5% of the property’s purchase price to secure a home loan. However, in some cases, it may be possible to proceed with a lower deposit. Keep in mind that if your deposit is less than 20% of the property’s price, you may need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), unless you qualify for an LMI waiver or apply for a family guarantee. Contact us to explore your options and determine the best approach for your situation.
