About the Lenders Mortgage Insurance Estimator Calculator
Depending on your lender's requirements, Lenders Mortgage Insurance allows you to
borrow up to 95% of the purchase price of your home, with a lower deposit than is
usually required.
Traditionally, lenders require borrowers to have at least a 20% deposit. However
by using Lenders Mortgage Insurance, lenders are able to offer lower deposit home
loans. Lenders Mortgage Insurance protects the lender if a borrower is unable to
meet their mortgage repayments and the property has to be sold.
If the proceeds from the sale of the property are insufficient to cover the outstanding
loan balance and other costs incurred by your lender in relation to enforcing the
mortgage, the lender is able to claim any shortfall from Genworth calculated in
accordance with the terms of the insurance policy.
Note: Lenders Mortgage Insurance should not be mistaken for Mortgage Protection
Insurance, which covers your mortgage repayments in the event of death, sickness,
unemployment or disability.
