Interest Rate Discounts:
Loan products available include standard variable with package discounts and fixed rates and include offerings with full features such as offset accounts and redraw.
Why are some banks waiving LMI for high demand professions?
Lenders mortgage insurance is designed to protect the lender against default of the client and to cover any loss should the client not pay back the mortgage. Lenders mortgage insurance is typically required when the purchaser does not have a 20% deposit. More information here on the purpose of lenders mortgage insurance. Some lenders have run the numbers and have determined that the default rate on home loans for certain professions is at near 0%. As such, the risk of default from these professions is low and therefore they have decided to consider waiving the LMI premium.
What is the next step?
This offer is not available to the general mortgage broker market. Further, all applications for LMI waiver are considered on a case by case basis. If you would like to find out if you qualify please give us a call on 1300 55 44 97 or submit an online enquiry or book in for a 30 minute strategy session.
