Getting a Home Loan with Blue Loans

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a conversation about your property goals - whether you're purchasing a home, investing, refinancing, or seeking another type of loan. Our Finance & Mortgage Brokers explain the overall loan application process, assess your financial position, and begin identifying suitable loan options from a wide panel of banks and lenders across Australia.

Financial Assessment

Your broker conducts a detailed review of your finances, including income, expenses, assets, liabilities and savings. They determine your borrowing capacity and explain key terms like loan-to-value ratio (LVR), lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), and any government schemes or discounts you may be eligible for.

Loan Comparison & Selection

With a clear understanding of your financial situation, our Finance & Mortgage Brokers research and compare a range of loan options. These may include fixed or variable interest rate loans, products with offset accounts, or flexible repayment features. Our brokers help you weigh the pros and cons of each loan, ensuring you choose the one that aligns best with your needs and preferences.

Loan Pre-Approval

Securing loan pre-approval provides a clear idea of how much you can borrow and strengthens your position in the property market. Your broker prepares and submits the required documents - such as payslips, tax returns, and bank statements - to the lender for assessment. Pre-approval also gives you confidence to make offers when you find the right property.

Formal Loan Application

Once you've chosen your preferred loan, your broker completes and submits the formal application to the lender. They manage all required documentation, respond to any queries from the lender, and keep you informed throughout the process to avoid unnecessary delays.

Loan Approval & Settlement Preparation

After your loan is formally approved, our brokers review the loan agreement with you and confirm that all terms - such as interest rate, fees, and repayment schedule - are clear and understood. They also help you set up your loan account and arrange any necessary insurance, such as mortgage or home loan protection.

Settlement & Ongoing Support

At settlement, the lender advances the funds and ownership of the property is transferred to you. Our brokers coordinate with your solicitor or conveyancer to ensure everything runs smoothly. After settlement, our Finance & Mortgage Brokers remain available for ongoing support - whether it's managing repayments, exploring refinancing opportunities, or helping with future property plans.

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

How do shift work and overtime payments affect my borrowing capacity?

We understand that Police Officers often work irregular hours, shifts, and earn overtime pay, which can make income assessment tricky with traditional lenders. We work with lenders who understand police pay structures and will consider your base salary plus regular overtime, shift allowances, and penalty rates when calculating your borrowing capacity. We'll help you present your income in the most favourable way, using payslips and tax returns that show the consistency of your earnings over time, maximising your loan approval amount.

Do you provide services outside business hours to accommodate shift work?

We understand that police officers work around the clock, and traditional business hours don't always suit your schedule. We offer flexible appointment times! Many of our brokers have experience working with emergency services and are happy to schedule calls or meetings around your roster. We'll work with your shifts, not against them, to ensure you get the service you need when it suits you.

Why should I use a Mortgage Broker?

Mortgage Brokers are there to help you find the right loan whether it be from the major banks, smaller lenders or other sources. We have a broad range of products (more than any single lender can offer) which means we can do all the legwork to find the right loan for you.

Do you charge me a fee?

Nope, our service is free for most home loans. The lender pays us when your loan goes through, so it doesn't cost you anything to get our help and advice. If there's ever a fee for something special, we'll tell you upfront - no surprises.

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. We take a look at a wide range of products available from Banks, Credit Unions & other lenders across the country, searching thousands of products rather than being limited to one institution. What sets us apart for Police Officers is understanding your unique challenges - shift work, overtime calculations, transfers, and housing allowances.

What kind of interest rates can you offer?

We take a 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. As brokers specialising in Police Officers, we often secure more competitive rates due to lenders recognising your secure employment and low-risk profile. Many lenders view police employment as 'preferred occupation' status, which can translate to better pricing, reduced fees, or waived lenders mortgage insurance. We know which lenders offer their sharpest rates to emergency services personnel and negotiate on your behalf.

What if I'm on probation or have recently joined the force?

Many lenders are comfortable lending to Police Officers even during probationary periods, recognising the stability and permanency that typically comes with police employment. We work with lenders who understand police career progression and recruitment processes. If you've recently graduated from the academy or transferred between states, we can find lenders willing to consider your application based on your employment contract, training completion, and the secure nature of police employment. Some lenders may require confirmation of permanent employment, which we can help arrange.

How do police housing allowances and accommodation benefits affect my application?

We're familiar with various police housing benefits, including accommodation allowances, regional incentives, and subsidised housing programs available to officers. These benefits can positively impact your borrowing capacity when properly documented and presented to the right lenders. We understand which lenders will include these allowances in income calculations and how to structure applications to maximise their benefit. If you're transitioning from police housing to home ownership, we can also help navigate timing and financial planning around this change.

What documents will I need to provide?

Typical documents include recent payslips, bank statements (usually 3-6 months), tax returns or tax assessments, photo identification, and details about the property you're purchasing. However, the exact requirements can vary depending on your employment type, loan amount, and chosen lender. We'll provide you with a complete, personalised checklist based on your specific loan type and circumstances, and help you gather everything efficiently to avoid delays in processing your application.

As a first-time buyer and police officer, what special benefits am I entitled to?

As a first-time buyer who's also a police officer, you're in a fantastic position to access multiple layers of benefits that can save you thousands. As a police officer, many lenders offer exclusive benefits including discounted interest rates, reduced establishment fees, and waived Lenders Mortgage Insurance even with smaller deposits. Police officers are viewed as low-risk borrowers due to job security and stable income progression.
