Low Deposit Loan FAQs
Common questions about buying with a smaller deposit and how LMI may affect your loan, especially for clients exploring first home buyer loans and low deposit home loans in Victoria.
What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance?
LMI is insurance that protects the lender, not the borrower, when the deposit is below a certain threshold. It can often be added to the loan, depending on lender policy.
Can I buy with a 5% deposit?
In some situations, yes. Approval depends on factors such as income, savings history, credit profile, living expenses and the property being purchased.
Does a bigger deposit always mean a better loan?
A larger deposit can reduce borrowing costs and may improve lender choice, but the right structure depends on your timeline, cash flow and overall goals.
Can LMI be avoided?
Sometimes. Certain borrower profiles, guarantor support or specific lender policies may reduce or remove the need for LMI, but this is not available in every case.
What upfront costs should I plan for?
Along with your deposit, you may need to budget for stamp duty where applicable, conveyancing, inspections, lender fees and government charges.
