Best Deal on 85% Home Loan?

I spent the morning trawling through so many website trying to find the best current deal on a 85% lend. I want to spend a little more on the next family home and only have 15% deposit after you take the ridiculously high stamp duty cost into account. Over the next year or so I should have more cash available as investment mature so keen for variable, offset.

Really hoping someone has a lead based on these circumstances that might offer the best possible deal.

I really wanted to avoid lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), but I don't think it is avoidable based on the current market value of a legitimately sized home in a decent area (South Australia).

Anyone have info on a lender doing any deals, maybe lending on 85% no LMI?

            @Chuckles79: i'm just thinking when it hits 5% interest in 4 years time would be $47k a year.

  • What industry do you and your partner work in? Some lenders waive LMI up to 90% if you’re in an essential service industry or are a medical professional or accountant.

      Wow accountants moving up in this world….

      • Does that include fire, police or ambulance workers? I think not

              @Chuckles79: People’s Choice. They have a good presence in SA so that may benefit you too.

              • @El-Rhi: Thanks, sounds like something worth checking out, appreciated

    • I tried that, they wont recognise my occupation even though i could logically argue it is more stable than any private industry occupation! With guaranteed super income on retirement, I think you are getting the jist.

    Hey mate, Bluestone has a product with no LMI up to 85%. Interest rate is a bit higher at 2.99 but no LMI is worth the savings. Refinance after you're under 80%.
    No offset account.

    Hope that helps.

    • Cheers will check it out

  • I should have more cash available as investment mature

    You are assuming the must be a positive return on investment?
