LMI Waiver for professionals
What is LMI?
Protects lender in case of default on home loan and shortfall.
Homeowners pay insurance premium when required.
LMI doesn’t provide protection; it’s for lender’s protection.
Eligibility criteria and professions can qualify for LMI premium waiver on home loans.
Ideal for professions like law, medicine, engineering, and accounting.
Borrowing from lender is still possible for those unable to save a 20% home deposit.
LMI premium can be significant over the loan term.

CAN YOU NEGOTIATE INTEREST RATE DISCOUNTS FOR FIRST HOME BUYERS?
Yes, certain financing institutions offer special interest rates for home buyers seeking up to 95% LVR home loans. These, combined with various State and Federal government incentives and schemes, can help borrowers access non-LMI loans.
CAN YOU HELP ME REDUCE MY LMI FEES?
Certainly, as LMI fees are not fixed. We can assess the factors affecting the premium and negotiate a lower rate based on your situation.
WHAT IS LMI AND WHEN DOES IT APPLY?
Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is required when the borrower contributes less than a 20% deposit toward their home purchase. This insurance covers the entire loan amount and is non-refundable even if the loan is refinanced or paid off early.
To secure LMI, borrowers must meet the insurer’s requirements. Meeting the lender’s borrowing criteria does not guarantee eligibility for mortgage insurance, as the insurer’s specific criteria also apply.
