Lenders Mortgage Insurance Estimator

About the Lenders Mortgage Insurance Estimator

Depending on your lender’s requirements, LMI allows you to borrow up to 95% of the purchase price of your home, with a lower deposit than is usually required.

Traditionally, lenders require borrowers to have at least a 20% deposit. However by using LMI, lenders are able to offer lower deposit home loans. LMI protects the lender if a borrower is unable to meet their mortgage repayments and the property has to be sold.

If the proceeds from the sale of the property are insufficient to cover the outstanding loan balance and other costs incurred by your lender in relation to enforcing the mortgage, the lender is able to claim any shortfall from Genworth calculated in accordance with the terms of the insurance policy.

Note: LMI should not be mistaken for Mortgage Protection Insurance, which covers your mortgage repayments in the event of death, sickness, unemployment or disability.
