Bridging Loans for Dentists Explained

Home Loans for Dentists understands the unique needs of dental professionals when it comes to buying or selling a home. Bridging Loans for Dentists offer a tailored solution to help bridge the gap between selling an existing property and purchasing a new one. This financial tool is particularly useful for those who may be caught in the dilemma of whether to buy or sell first. With access to Bridging Loan options from banks and lenders across Australia, our mortgage brokers are here to assist you in finding the most suitable option. Whether you are dealing with stamp duty, calculating loan repayments, or considering interest rate discounts, we provide guidance every step of the way.

Bridging Loans for Dentists are designed to accommodate the specific circumstances of dental professionals. The loan term typically ranges from 6 to 12 months, allowing ample time to sell your existing property. If you're building a new home, the term may extend to 12 months. This flexibility ensures that you have the necessary time to transition smoothly between properties. Our mortgage brokers help assess your borrowing capacity, considering factors such as the contract purchase price of the new home and your current financial situation. By applying for a Bridging Loan, you can secure a loan amount that covers both the remaining mortgage on your current home and the purchase of your new property.

Interest rates play a crucial role in determining the cost of your Bridging Loan. You may choose between fixed interest rate loans and variable loan rates, each offering distinct advantages. A fixed interest rate provides stability, ensuring that your repayments remain consistent throughout the loan term. On the other hand, variable interest rates may fluctuate with market conditions, potentially offering lower initial rates. Our team assists in calculating Bridging Loan repayments, helping you understand how different interest rates impact your overall costs. Additionally, we explore interest rate discounts that may be available to you as a dental professional.

When applying for a Bridging Loan, it's important to consider lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) and loan to value ratio (LVR). LMI protects the lender in case of default, and it may be required if your LVR exceeds a certain threshold. Understanding these components is essential for making informed decisions about your loan application. Our streamlined application process aims to simplify this experience, allowing you to focus on your professional commitments while we handle the paperwork. By providing necessary documents such as bank statements and proof of income, you can expedite the process and get pre-approved for your loan.

The local property market can influence your decision on whether to buy or sell first. Our mortgage brokers offer insights into current trends, helping you make informed choices based on market conditions. An offset account may also be beneficial, allowing you to reduce interest on your home loan by offsetting it against your savings. This feature can be particularly advantageous if you're considering an investment loan alongside your Bridging Loan.

Bridging Loans for Dentists provide a practical solution for those needing short-term loans to manage the transition between homes. Peak Debt refers to the highest point of debt during this period, while End Debt is the remaining debt after selling your existing property. Interest Capitalisation allows interest to be added to the loan balance during the term, reducing immediate out-of-pocket expenses. Understanding these terms is crucial for effectively managing your finances throughout the process.

Carl has been amazing to work with. He was on the ball straight from the start with knowing all the information I would need to provide. He was quick to respond while others would not return communication for weeks. He managed to secure me a great product in a short amount of time, even while we are on opposite sides of the country. I highly recommend getting in touch with Carl, you won't look back.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of interest rates can you offer?

We take look at a wide range of products available from Banks, Credit Unions & other lenders across the country. This means we can search thousands of products and make sure we're always recommending the best Home Loans for our clients.

What's the maximum I can borrow as a dentist?

This depends on your income, expenses, and deposit, but dentists can often borrow 5-6 times their annual income due to strong earning potential. We'll calculate your exact borrowing capacity based on your specific circumstances.

Can you help arrange finance for both my family home and a property for my dental practice?

Too easy! We can arrange dual-purpose financing for dental professionals. This might involve purchasing a property where you live upstairs and practice downstairs, or separate but coordinated purchases. We understand the zoning, commercial lending, and tax implications involved and work with lenders experienced in medical/dental property financing.

What documents do I need as a dentist?

For employed dentists: recent payslips, employment contract, bank statements (3-6 months), and ID. If you have HECS debt, include your latest notice of assessment.
For practice owners: two years of tax returns, business activity statements, profit and loss statements, and business bank statements.
For locum dentists: contracts with regular practices, bank statements showing consistent deposits, and booking confirmations.
We'll guide you through exactly what's needed for your specific situation and help present your application in the strongest way possible.

What deposit do I need as a dentist, and can I avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance?

Many of our dental clients secure loans with 10-15% deposits. Some lenders offer LMI waivers for medical and dental professionals, recognising your profession's low default risk. We've arranged loans with deposits as low as 5% for established dentists with strong income history.

Do you charge me any fees?

No, our service is completely free for most home loans. We're paid a commission by the lender once your loan settles, so there's no cost to you for our expertise and guidance. On the rare occasion there might be a fee for specialised services, we'll always discuss this with you beforehand - complete transparency, no hidden costs.

Are your mortgage brokers licensed and accredited?

All of our Mortgage Brokers are accredited and members of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia. They are extremely professional and provide exceptional service across a range of lending options.

Why should I use Home Loans for Dentists instead of going directly to a bank?

Banks can only offer their own products, but we access hundreds of loans from 40 lenders to find your best deal. More importantly, we understand dental professionals - from HECS debt and associate income to practice purchases. Bank staff rarely have this specialised knowledge.
We do all the legwork, comparing products and handling paperwork while you focus on your patients. Instead of visiting multiple banks, you get one expert broker who knows the dental industry inside out.

I work across multiple practices - will this complicate my loan application?

Not with the right lender. Many successful dentists work as associates at 2-3 practices or combine associate work with their own practice. We specialise in presenting multi-income dental applications clearly, using employment contracts and income history to demonstrate stability across your various roles.

How do you assess loan applications for dentists with HECS-HELP debt?

We work with lenders who specifically understand dental education debt. Unlike general lenders who may see your $150,000 HECS debt as a liability, our partner lenders recognise this as professional investment debt with government-backed repayment terms. We know which lenders exclude HECS from debt-service calculations or apply more favourable assessment rates.
