Browse Forums Building A New House Re: LMI for Construction loan 6Sep 04, 2021 12:35 am It wasn't a house and land. He got a land loan 1.5 years ago at over 80%. Paid LMI. Now he's refinanced it to include a construction loan as well. Total lend still over 80%. LMI is reapplied as it a new loan over 80% LVR. He paid LMI twice because of poor structuring and timing and low deposit. Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it. Trust me, its in my sig. Re: LMI for Construction loan 7Sep 04, 2021 4:58 pm You only need to pay LMI for the new lending from your construction. At the time you finish your plan, the bank will do another TOC valuation, if the land value has increased, it may save you money on LMI.[/quote] Thanks It looks like i paid for both.The house is under construction at frame stage now and on the loan contract LMI amount is more than Land loan i have paid.[/quote] I see. Normally, bank won’t charge LMI again for the amount you paid before unless if you restructure your original land Loan e.g changed your loan term, you will be subject to LMI for the entire loan. He should check with his Bank’s lending manager as different bank may have different policy. Re: LMI for Construction loan 8Sep 05, 2021 12:36 pm When you paid LMI on the land, it only covers the land loan amount, let say if the land value is $300,000, loan were 90% LVR, the Loan is $270,000 and LMI premium would be around $4,000. Assume construction cost is 400,000 and the bank "as if complete" valuation comes back for $700,000 and the construction loan required is $360,000 and the total LVR still at 90%, the total LMI premium would be calculated on the total loan of $630,000 which will come to around $15,000. You will only be required to pay the difference of $11,000 because you have paid the $4,000 as part of the land loan.

It's a new loan, new full LMI. Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it. Trust me, its in my sig. The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19114 brokers will also be in a position to get you a better rate than the advertised rate most times. 6 7586 Hi, you've probably already resolved this, however, Commbank will probably pay the funds to you after you send evidence the work is done regardless the change in the quotes. 1 35332 |
