Why Ambulance Officers & Paramedics Get Special Home Loan Benefits

As a paramedic or ambulance officer, you provide essential services to the community, and many lenders recognize your stable employment and income structure. This makes it easier for you to qualify for low-deposit home loans, waived Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), and discounted interest rates.

If you meet this criteria and are looking to buy a home to live in you really cannot afford to not put in a call to Professional Home Loans to see if we can help you. As per the table below, the LMI on a $500,000 mortgage is circa $8,600. The 90% waiver which is effectively 4 years of principal payments on your mortgage saved! Incredible savings!

How much will I save in LMI?

LMI premiums, like all insurance premiums, are priced based on the risk of the insured event happening. That is, the more likely that a borrower will default on the mortgage and the bank will suffer a loss, the more expensive the premium will be. See below explanation of LMI.

As such, LMI is not a flat rate but will vary depending on the size of the loan and the LVR. Here is some examples of a typical LMI premium for a 90% lend based on various loan amounts.

Loan AmountLMI PremiumYour Savings (90% waiver time limited offer)
$300,000$4,1004,100
$400,000$6,900$6,900
$500,000$8,600$8,600
$600,000$10,800$10,800
$700,000$13,500$13,500
$800,000$16,100$16,100

As is evident from the above table, for an average loan size of $500,000 the savings in LMI would be circa $7,310. This savings in conjunction with market leading interest rates will save you many many years off your mortgage. The LMI in and of itself on a 500k home loan would be in excess of 4 years of principle payments on your mortgage. You have just paid off the first 4 years of your home loan!

How Much Can Paramedics & Ambulance Offivers Borrow?

Most lenders offer borrowing power up to 6 times your annual income, but factors like your deposit size, credit history, and existing debts will affect your approval. To get an exact estimate, use our home loan calculator or speak with a mortgage specialist.

Tom has provided us with a very professional service, communicating all the available options to us and in the process he has literally saved us $75k that we would have otherwise paid. Being new the Australian property market it was imperative we found a broker that had the patience to answer the numerous questions we had be it by phone or email and sometimes outside normal working hours and that is exactly what we got from Tom. He certainly goes beyond the call of duty. Keep up the good work, Tom and we will no doubt be back in touch with you in the not too distant future.

Finally, we were able to buy our own place in Sydney. THANKS to Michael. We were given the run around by various banks (we had a unique situation and despite good income and stable one, loan wasn't coming easy). When we almost finally gave up, we had nothing to lose and made one last call and it was to Michael. Our hopes were back in two days from there, and had our loan approved with in next few days. We appreciated all the prompt and helpful responses to all of our queries in relation to purchasing with a Temporary Visa. He even made a bank valuation possible in 24 hours or so. If we ever need help again with our finance, Michael will be the first person we would call. Kindest Regards, Anjuli & Kris
