Learn how certain professions can avoid LMI entirely

Lenders Mortgage Insurance is an insurance fee that is charged when you have less than a 20% deposit. LMI protects the lender, not you, and it can potentially cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

Certain professions in the medical, legal, accounting, and a number of others depending on the lender, may be eligible to have it waived entirely.

Eligibility criteria vary significantly between lenders, some waive LMI up to 90% of the property value for eligible professions, others have different thresholds and requirements entirely. We check your profession against what's currently available across the panel and find the lender offering the best terms for your situation.

If you don't fall into an eligible profession, we'll tell you plainly and look at what other options genuinely reduce your upfront costs instead.
