    There was mention in a thread fairly recently about some banks now allowing 90% LVR with no LMI up to that percentage... or have I dreamt that?

    I'm wondering (assuming I read it correctly) which banks this might be?

    I believe St George offer this to registered lawyers and accountants and doctors & Westpac extend this to executives/partners and sports & entertainment professions, and the condition is the person must earn more than $150k/pa.

    For certain professions it's possible.

    Generally it's for medical pros - but there are other professions that are now considered.

    85% no LMI is on offer for anyone these days.

    Cheers

    Thanks. I asked NAB recently for a current loan (not mine) and was told it was for doctors(?) or left handed chiropodists(?) :p.

    So engineers don't get a look in?

    Just saw your reply Jamie. I don't think NAB offered 85% (just checked my email and 90% for medical doctors - no mention of 85% - two weeks ago). I do know the person I'm enquiring for needs 90% so 85% isn't worth doing.

    Nab won't.

    St George will - although the promo expires soon (couple of days I think).

    Homeloans Ltd will - and have been for a while.

    Cheers

    Thanks folks. Of course if bank valuation for recent reval had come in higher 80% of a realistic value would have solved the problem of not being able to completely repay a family loan.

    So the 80% rule combined with a crap valuation means we wait a bit longer to have a bank take over the family loan. I just want to tidy things up a bit.

    St George are competitive - Homeloans Ltd not as low.....but even if the rate wasn't too crash hot - an 85% lend at $575k is going to cost a fair bit in LMI.....so that savings alone will justify a higher rate. When you get the LVR down to 80% you could reassess your options.

    Cheers

    Thanks Jamie. It is a loan owed to me from a family member. No drama that he takes longer to refinance, but would be nice to just tidy a few things up.

    We can wait until we get a more realistic valuation and his income increases.

    Just calculated that IO @ 90% would be all he needs if it values up by just another $10k. Would those banks look at IO? He has been meeting payments for 18 months now so has a good P&I history.

    Sometimes a CBA AVM can be like 90% no LMI - always worth a shot. ;)

    How many valuations have you sought? Could it be worth shopping around to get the valuation you need?

    I was just about to suggest this too.

    @wylie might be worth talking directly to one of the brokers on here (or get the family member to) and look at an upfront valuation etc to see if you can get the valuation up and solve the problem.

    Thanks Art and Westminster. I did run it past a broker, who asked me who did the valuation. It seemed another valuation would go through this "central" valuation hub for the bank he had in mind (unsure how to word that properly).

    We can wait another few months when next valuation (and his income) should both be higher.

    St George aren't doing the 85% no LMI offer anymore i don't think (31st Oct expiry?). Also Homeloans 85% no LMI waiver can't be I/O anymore, and it is quite expensive. Well past 5%, which is quite dear given the market.

    Thanks to all who answered. I think we just wait another six months to allow valuation (and salary) to creep up a bit higher.

    If the deal is above $500k then the LMI is going to be costly .....so higher rate (at least until the property gets 5% growth) should be worth it.

    Pretty hard product to sell now i think, i wrote a dozen or so of these a couple months ago, but since the recent policy/product change, its a niche product thats a bit harder to sell.

    Needs to be P/I. So its mainly for O/O debt now. Homeloans P/I Pepper Funded product at 5.19%. Thats almost a full percentage point above market for that type of deal, plus about $1000 in fees.

    LMI for a 500k purchase at an 85% LVR is about 4.5k. Plus cash-back offers from other funders like NAB/St George, etc, the maths doesn't quite work out. You'll have made that in 6-12 months.

    At its maximum loan size of $1mil it may make sense though. Although whether you'd want to go there unless you need to is debatable.
