Nick, a panel beater and his wife Lisa were expecting their first baby. With Lisa on maternity leave they were struggling to make the repayments on all their loans. They were concerned they weren’t going to be able to afford to keep up the repayments when the baby came along.
”We had a home loan and loans on two investment properties,” Nick said. “Because the loans weren’t structured properly and with Lisa given up work the interest was just getting too much for us to pay. We were worried we’d be forced to sell one of the properties we had worked so hard to buy. Loan Saver Network helped us out with refinancing our loans to a better interest rate and structure. This reduce our repayments by over $760 each month!! We are ecstatic with our savings and now have the peace of mind that we can easily afford our repayments even with our little one on the way.”

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) protects your lender in the event of you defaulting on your home loan. In the event that your loan is foreclosed, your property is subsequently sold and the amount from the sale is not enough to repay the loan in full, Mortgage Insurance will meet the shortfall for the lender.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance should not be confused with Mortgage Repayment Insurance which protects you in an event that prevents your Mortgage payment being made.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance is taken in conjunction with your Home Loan. Depending on your chosen lender your loan will be mortgage Insured above 65% LVR. The lender usually pays the Mortgage Insurance up to 80% LVR, the client usually pays (capitalises the premium to their loan) above 80%.
Lenders Mortgage Insurers have tighter policies and criteria for loans above 80% LVR and put restrictions on security locations and type, Client Income, and many other factors.

No Deposit or 100% Loans are designed to cover the full purchase price of a property. They are very useful loans for First Home Buyers, Divorcees or people with a limited deposit. First Home Owners Grant can be credited to costs to purchase.
The name of this product is a little incorrect, as it represents that there is no need for the client to contribute any money to the purchase. This is not the case. The 100% loan is for the purchase price, but all other costs must be covered by the purchaser. Other costs to consider (eg. $250 purchase in Victoria)
Example:
- Purchase Price: $250k (100% loan)
- Application Fee: $600
- Legals: $220
- Stamp Duty: $10,660
- Lenders Mortgage Insurance: $6,250
Total Monies required to settle on the property is: $17,710
Things to consider:
- Be sure you have enough deposit.
- Deposit Bond may need to be used to secure purchase with Real Estate Agent.
- Very tight Lender Guidelines for no Deposit Loans including Postcode restrictions.
