Most home buyers have heard of LMI or lender’s mortgage insurance.
Lenders consider it a risk when they have to lend you money more then 80% of the property price. They will then insure this risk through a mortgage insurer and they pass on this charge to you in the name of ‘lender’s mortgage insurance’ or ‘LMI’. This is a one off premium you pay your lender for the privilege of being able to borrow more than 80% up to a maximum of 95%.
However, recently one of our lenders advised that if you belong to any of the fee for service industries below and fulfil their lending criteria, you may be eligible for a mortgage without paying any LMI.
