    I understand that if a refinance is done to 90% with the same lender and LMI was paid on the original loan, as 85% LVR, that only the gap between the 85% and 90% LMI is paid.

    However, if the loan is refinanced with a different lender and the Mortgage Insurer is the same for both lenders. Does the same rule apply or is the refinance with a new lender going to incur the full amount of LMI.
    Original loan was 2+ years ago.

    Thanks

    Hi Mal,
    If you refinance to a different lender you will incur the full LMI premium again, Cheers.
