Public Home Loans understands the unique needs of public servants in Australia, particularly when it comes to buying a home. Our team of experienced mortgage brokers is dedicated to helping you access the best home loan options from banks and lenders across the country. One of the most significant advantages available to public servants is the potential to benefit from lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) waivers. This opportunity can significantly impact your financial situation by reducing the costs associated with purchasing a home.
Lenders mortgage insurance is usually charged on loans above 80% loan to value ratio (LVR). It is an insurance premium where you pay to cover the risk of the lender who lends you money. This one-off insurance payment can be paid upfront or included in the loan amount. However, certain professions, including public servants, may be eligible for LMI special waivers, allowing you to borrow up to 85% LVR on your property without taking LMI. This benefit can make a substantial difference in your home-buying journey, reducing the overall cost and potentially increasing your borrowing capacity.
For public servants, accessing LMI waivers can provide significant financial relief. By avoiding the need for this insurance premium, you can save a considerable amount of money that would otherwise be spent on covering lender risks. This saving can be redirected towards other aspects of your home purchase or even help in achieving a more favourable interest rate on your loan. Our mortgage brokers are well-versed in identifying and securing these waivers, ensuring you take full advantage of any discounts or special LMI offers available.

Nick O’Sullivan helped me with my first investment property purchase last year. As it was my first time, I had plenty of questions, but he was always happy to help and made the whole process seamless. I recently used Nick again to refinance my loan and secure a great interest rate, and once again everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend Nick and his team and look forward to working with them again in the future.
