Save on Your First Home with an 85% LVR
If you are building or buying a new home for the first time and looking for some savings, we’ve got a loan to help get you that home.
We are pleased to offer an 85% LVR1 home loan to first home buyers which reduces the need for and cost of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
What is LVR?
LVR stands for Loan to Value Ratio. LVR is a commonly used acronym in the mortgage and property industry, but what does it mean or how does it apply to home purchases?
LVR is the percentage of money you borrow for a home loan compared to the value of the property. It is used to assess your risk factor as a borrower; lenders will calculate your LVR before deciding whether to approve your home loan application. The higher your LVR is, the more of a risk you may be to your lender.
If you meet our lending conditions and your LVR is 85% or lower, there is no added cost of LMI. Therefore, you’ll get a nice cost savings on your first home!
Table below indicates the estimated LMI premium cost savings2 based on an 85% LVR.
