LMI – Lenders Mortgage Insurance Calculator
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.
