Browse Forums Home Finance 1 Nov 06, 2015 8:26 am Hi All, I have a 50K provision cost in my contract so my loan is approved with this 50K, So LMI is calculated including the provisioned 50K. My question is if only 20K of the provision 50K was needed, Can I withdraw the balance 30K from loan account? To do curtain or landscaping? Or is bank going to repay me the additional LMI they have taken for 50K as actual cost is 20K? Can anyone please help me with this? Cheers Re: Provision Cost 3Jan 10, 2016 1:05 pm On the face of it no because your bank is lending you for the building contract and they will be advancing against payments to the builder not to you. Another issue is that 50k will be advanced to the builder whether any work is done or not, good luck trying to get it back. 50 K is a lot of money for PS what is it for? How do you know it's not going to blow out to $100K? I am guessing that you signed the contract without professional advice or you would not be asking here. By signing of on large PS you are essentially offering builder a blank cheque+ use of your money during build as his overdraft.
