Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help tech contractors and freelancers secure home loans?

Absolutely. Tech contractors and freelancers often face challenges when applying for home loans due to irregular income patterns, but we have established relationships with lenders who understand the tech contracting market. We know how to present your contract history, day rates, and future earning potential to demonstrate your ability to service a mortgage. Our team can guide you through the documentation process, helping you gather the right financial records and structure your application to highlight your professional expertise and income consistency. We work with multiple lenders who actively lend to self-employed tech professionals.

What documentation do I need as a tech professional applying for a home loan?

Documentation requirements vary depending on your employment type within the tech industry. Permanent employees typically need payslips, employment contracts, and tax returns, while contractors require additional documentation such as contracts, invoices, and business activity statements. If you hold stock options or cryptocurrency, we'll guide you on providing appropriate valuations and documentation. For those with international income or working for overseas companies, additional documentation may be required. We provide a comprehensive checklist tailored to your specific situation and help ensure all documentation is prepared correctly to avoid delays in the application process.

What makes Tech Home Loans different from traditional mortgage brokers?

Tech Home Loans specialises exclusively in serving professionals within the technology sector across Australia. We understand the unique financial circumstances that tech workers face, including variable income from contracting, stock options, cryptocurrency holdings, and international employment arrangements. Our brokers have extensive experience working with lenders who appreciate the career stability and earning potential of tech professionals. This specialised knowledge allows us to present your application in the most favourable light and identify lending solutions that align with your specific employment situation and financial goals.

What happens if I change jobs during the mortgage application process?

Job changes during the application process are common in the dynamic tech industry, and we have extensive experience managing these situations. The impact depends on the nature of the change - moving between permanent roles, transitioning from permanent to contract work, or changing employers. We immediately communicate any employment changes to your lender and provide updated documentation as required. In some cases, the application may need to be reassessed, while in others, minimal additional documentation may suffice. Our team works to minimise disruption and keep your application progressing, leveraging our understanding of how lenders view career progression within the tech sector.

Do you provide ongoing support after settlement?

Yes, our relationship extends well beyond settlement. The tech industry evolves rapidly, and your financial needs may change as your career progresses or your circumstances shift. We provide ongoing reviews of your mortgage structure and can assist with refinancing when appropriate. Whether you're looking to access equity for investment purposes, considering debt consolidation, or need to restructure your loans due to changing income, we're here to help. We also keep you informed about market developments and new lending products that may benefit your situation. This ongoing relationship ensures your mortgage remains aligned with your financial goals throughout your tech career.

Can you help with investment property loans for tech professionals?

Certainly. Many tech professionals are interested in building investment property portfolios, and we provide specialised advice for this market segment. We understand how investment property purchases can impact your overall financial strategy and tax position. Our team can explain the different loan structures available for investment properties and help you understand the implications for your borrowing capacity. We work with lenders who offer investor-focused products and can assist with portfolio building strategies. Whether you're purchasing your first investment property or expanding an existing portfolio, we provide tailored advice based on your financial objectives.

How long does the mortgage application process typically take for tech workers?

The timeline for mortgage applications varies based on your employment type and the complexity of your financial situation. Permanent employees with straightforward income structures can expect the process to take 2-4 weeks from application submission to approval. Contractors, freelancers, or those with complex income streams including stock options or international arrangements may require 4-6 weeks as additional documentation and lender assessment time is needed. We work to streamline this process by ensuring all documentation is complete upfront and maintaining regular communication with lenders throughout the assessment period to address any queries promptly.
