If you're a legal professional, this applies to you.

Most lawyers don’t realise they qualify for industry-specific lending policies — including the ability to get into the property market with just a 10% deposit, often without paying LMI through select lenders.

For lawyers, barristers, solicitors and judges, this is a game-changer.

Why?
Because these specialist policies are designed for high-income, high-growth professions. They recognise your earning trajectory, your career progression, and the structure of your income — which means more borrowing power, less upfront cost, and faster entry into the property market.

And that’s exactly what this page is about:
Giving legal professionals lending strategies that match the level you operate at.

At Traj Finance, we help lawyers structure lending strategically by considering:

• Partnership income & profit share
• Chambers or trust income
• Variable bonuses
• PAYG private fee income
• Long-term earning potential
• Future portfolio goals

If you’re a legal professional, your next property may be closer than you think.
