A Low Deposit Premium (LDP) is a one-off, non-refundable, non-transferrable bank fee that we add to low deposit home loans. Designed to reflect the risk associated with low deposit loans, LDP is calculated based on the size of your deposit and how much you borrow. The more you contribute to the purchase price of your property, the lower the cost will be.
LDP protects the bank against any loss we may incur if you are unable to repay your loan.
The circumstances of your home loan will determine whether it incurs LDP or Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). You will only need to pay for one – not both.
