What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance?


Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) can help you accelerate your home ownership journey, and it can make it possible for you to get into your home sooner without having to save a 20% deposit.

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) protects your lender against the risk of potential losses, in case you are unable to make your home loan repayments, and the lender is unable to recover the outstanding loan amount from the sale of the security property. With LMI coverage, lenders are willing to lend more money to home buyers with a lower deposit.

This makes loans more accessible to people who are looking to buy a home with less than a 20% deposit.

A lender may pass on the cost of LMI to you. You have a range of flexible options for paying the LMI cost to your lender  – either paying the fee upfront, capitalising the amount into the loan, or paying a monthly LMI fee.
