How an LMI Waiver Works in Practice
A Real-World Example
A doctor buying a $1.2M property in Sydney with a 10% deposit ($120,000) would typically face an LMI cost of approximately $25,000–$35,000 on a standard loan. With a Medico LMI waiver, that cost is eliminated entirely — meaning the same $120,000 deposit buys the same property with no additional insurance premium.
