When it comes to "mortgage insurance" there are usually 2 interpretations:
- Mortgage Insurance as Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI), which insures your lender against non-payment or default on your residential property loan. It protects the lender against loss if you stop making your mortgage payments and they have to sell your home. But it's not protecting you or your family. It's not compulsory but Lender's Mortgage Insurance makes it possible for buyer to get a home loan with as little as a 5 per cent deposit or with no deposit at all.
OR
- Mortgage Insurance as Mortgage Payment Protection, which covers your mortgage repayments in the event that you are unable to pay for your mortgage due to injury, illness or involuntary unemployment. However Mortgage Payment Protection only covers your mortgage payments - what about other expenses? If you are looking for a more comprehensive protection which covers additional needs such as other loans or ongoing monthly living expenses you may want to consider Income Protection.

how long do i need to show genuine savings for before i apply for a home loan using LMI?
Rate Detective
Usually you have to show 3 months of genuine savings.
However there is some lenders which can do LMI and will not ask for genuine savings at all. Contact us to find out if you qualify...
