95% LVR in TAS
What changes at 95% LVR (5% deposit) in Tasmania
At 95% LVR (5% deposit) the loan is only available to two categories of buyer: those qualifying under the federal Home Guarantee Scheme (LMI waived by the Government for FHBs + key workers + Regional buyers + single parents within the HGS cap of $700,000 (Hobart) / $550,000 (rest of TAS, no regional-centre exception)), and those paying a full LMI premium (typically $15K–$22K added to the loan on a $500K loan in TAS). For TAS FHBs, the HGS + state FHOG/stamp-duty stack is the cleanest path to 95% LVR ownership without an LMI bill.
