Why is LVR important?

The LVR of your application and/or current loan will determine a range of things including

  • The price/rate you pay, higher LVRs will mean higher interest rates
  • Whether you pay LMI (lenders mortgage insurance) and how much it is
  • How much equity you have available to use if you’re trying to take money out
  • Whether you can be approved, for example an Investor typically won't be approved for a loan with an LVR greater than 90%
