Understanding LMI can go a long way in saving you thousands in your loan’s entire life. In a nutshell, Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is the insurance added to a loan whenever a customer pays less than a 20% deposit.
This exposes the bank to more risk, so the insurance goes entirely for the bank, but you will have to pay the premium since you, as the customer, are exposing your lender to the risk.
LMI protects the bank if the customer defaults on their loan and the property cannot fully cover the remaining loan balance. Therefore, the LMI will cover any difference between the property sale price and the debt owed on the loan.
Definitely. 90% LVR and No LMI home loans are available to everyone who meet the application requirements. But the following have better overall application strength:
When applying for a 90% LVR with no LMI, the bank will lend you 90% of the property’s value while you only need to contribute the remaining 10% in cash or equity.
Waiving the LMI means you don’t need to pay premiums on LMI to secure your home loan.
To get approved for a 90% LVR home loan without LMI premiums, you must prove that you can afford or have the income to service the loan. But depending on the lender, some might approve your application even if you’ve recently started private practice or are still under probation.
