We offer tailored mortgage services for lawyers, considering their unique positions.
Due to the perceived low risk of legal professionals, legal home loans offer the exclusive benefit of waived LMI for those who apply for the specialised product. This means lawyers can borrow up to 100% of their home loan value without paying the lender's mortgage insurance, allowing them to purchase property with a smaller deposit.
When you do not have to pay the lender's mortgage insurance, you can save a lot on your home loan fees throughout the loan's lifetime.
Due to lawyers' favourable financial positions, our mortgage brokers may be able to negotiate better interest rates and other discounts on your behalf. These rates tend to be lower than a lender's advertised rate, framing it as an exclusive offer only a legal professional can take advantage of.
Banks and lenders tend to be confident in legal professionals' financial security and high incomes. This means that many lenders offer to cover annual loan fees for home loans above a certain amount.
Consequently, this can save you a significant amount of money throughout your home loan.

The main benefits of a lawyer’s home loan are the discounted interest rates, the waived LMI, the high borrowing capacity, and the lack of annual fees. Your mortgage broker or lender may be able to offer additional and unique benefits when you use their services.
Mortgage brokers can help lawyers save time and money by comparing and researching home loans and finding the most competitive loan packages.
Additionally, brokers can help lawyers borrow up to 100% of the property without paying LMI.
Lawyers can obtain cheaper home loans by receiving interest rate discounts and waived LMI. Some lenders may waive annual fees, lowering the cost of taking out a loan even further.
Since lawyers are considered 'low-risk' borrowers, many lenders offer exclusive deals to waive LMI costs. This enables lawyers to borrow as high as 95-100% of the property value, meaning that some lawyers can enjoy cheaper home loans due to their exemption from LMI.
Typically, borrowers are expected to pay a deposit of around 20% of the property's value, lest they pay LMI. However, lawyers can usually deposit only 5-10% without paying the LMI premium. Some lenders may even allow no deposit since lawyers are considered so low-risk!
