Calculating LMI Premiums
Updated over a week ago

The Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) calculate is based on the size of the deposit and loan amount. If your client borrows over 80% of the purchase price of the property, it is likely they will need to pay a LMI premium. Mercury Nexus provides you with the LMI requirements on a lender-by-lender basis.
