When considering whether to buy or sell first, Bridging Loans for Paramedics provide flexibility. These loans allow you to secure a new property without the immediate pressure of selling your current home. The loan amount typically covers the contract purchase price of the new home, stamp duty, and other associated costs. The loan term usually ranges from 6 to 12 months, giving you ample time to sell your existing property. If you're building a new property, the term extends to 12 months. This flexibility helps manage your financial situation effectively, allowing you to make decisions based on the local property market rather than feeling rushed.

Working with experienced mortgage brokers can simplify accessing Bridging Loan options.

Brokers also help in calculating Bridging Loan repayments and determining your borrowing capacity by reviewing bank statements and other financial documents. By doing so, they ensure that your loan application is well-prepared and increases the likelihood of getting pre-approved by lenders.

Interest rate considerations are crucial when applying for a Bridging Loan. The loan interest rate can be fixed or variable, impacting your overall repayment amount. Some lenders offer interest rate discounts or options like offset accounts to reduce interest payments. Understanding these options helps in making informed decisions about your home loan or investment loan. Additionally, lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) might be required if your loan to value ratio (LVR) exceeds a certain threshold. This insurance protects the lender in case of default but is an important factor in calculating the overall cost of your loan.

Bridging Loans for Paramedics also consider aspects like Peak Debt and End Debt. Peak Debt refers to the total amount you owe at the height of both loans—covering both properties—while End Debt is what remains after selling your existing home. Interest Capitalisation is another feature where interest accrued during the loan term is added to the loan balance. This can be beneficial if cash flow is a concern during this period.

The streamlined application process for Bridging Loans ensures that paramedics can apply without unnecessary stress. By working with mortgage brokers, you gain access to a range of options tailored to your specific circumstances. They guide you through getting pre-approved, understanding variable loan rates, and choosing between fixed interest rate loans and variable interest rate loans.

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

Will my regular overtime and penalty rates increase my borrowing capacity?

In most cases, yes. We understand that overtime, penalty rates, and shift allowances form a substantial part of many paramedics' income.

As an essential service worker, you have access to several low deposit pathways.

This includes detailed payroll summaries showing overtime patterns, allowance breakdowns, roster confirmations, professional registration certificates, and employment contracts. We'll ensure your documentation clearly demonstrates your true earning capacity and employment stability.
