LMI Waiver for Health & Medical Professionals
What Benefits can Health & Medical Professionals Receieve?
Certain Health & Medical Professionals are eligible for benefits such as better interest rates, higher loan-to-value ratios (LVR) without lender's mortgage insurance (LMI) payable, and leniency on various pay structures. This is because the bank deems you as a low-risk borrower which is more attractive to various lenders.
Health & Medical Professionals are considered low-risk borrowers because generally they earn a stable income in a higher bracket than most other professions. Making them less likely to default on their loans.
What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)?
Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is when the lender requires the borrower to pay for insurance on their loan to cover the bank in case of default on their mortgage repayments. LMI does not cover the borrower just the lender.
LMI is usually required when the borrower doesn’t have a 20% deposit to put towards their property purchase or when their loan-to-value ratio (LVR) is above 80%.
What Health & Medical Professions Qualify?
There are many health and medical professionals who qualify under the Medico LMI waiver policy, as long as you are registered with the Australian Medical Council or relevant organisation.

How much could you Save?
Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) can take up serviceability (borrowing) room or a chuck of your savings. Generally LMI is approx. 2% of the purchase price and can either be added to the loan or paid upfront. With LMI Waiver Policy this could be an extra 2% you don’t need to save and get you into your home quicker or an extra 2% towards paying your home off!
The table below shows approx. how much you could save by avoiding LMI.
