Lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) is a cost most borrowers pay when their deposit is under 20%. It protects the lender, not you, and it can run into the tens of thousands. An LMI waiver means an eligible professional can borrow with a smaller deposit and have that cost waived entirely. It is not a government scheme. It’s a commercial decision lenders make for professions they see as lower risk, and which lenders offer it, and on what terms, varies.
Medical professionals, lawyers, and accountants are the most commonly recognised, and nurses qualify with certain lenders. Doctors and specialists tend to get the most generous terms. Eligibility usually depends on current registration or professional body membership, such as AHPRA for medical, a practising certificate for lawyers, or CPA Australia, CA ANZ, or IPA for accountants. Some lenders also apply a minimum income. Because the lists and thresholds differ between lenders, the practical question is not just whether you qualify, but which lender suits you.
Yes, with certain lenders. Nurses are increasingly recognised, though the terms differ from doctors. Some lenders cap the LVR a little lower, and many apply a minimum income, often where you’re the main income earner. Where you have a steady income and a clean record, the waiver can still save you a significant upfront cost. We know which lenders take the most favourable view of nursing income, including shift loadings and overtime.
Not necessarily. The professional packages that carry the waiver often come with competitive rates, sometimes with a discount. That said, a sharp standard rate elsewhere can occasionally beat a discounted package once fees are counted, so the right comparison is total cost, not the headline rate. We compare across lenders so the waiver doesn’t come at the expense of a good rate.
Sometimes. Some lenders extend the waiver to investment purchases for eligible professionals, though the LVR cap is often lower than for an owner-occupied home. It can be a useful way to move on an investment sooner without a full 20% deposit. Whether it applies depends on the lender, your profession, and your position, which is exactly what we work out before you commit.
