Low Equity Premium - LEP (for lending over 80% of a property's value)

Low Equity Premium is charged by The National Bank to cover the increased risk associated with lending above 80% of the property's value and the costs incurred as a result of such lending.

  Loan to value ratio                   LEP % of the loan amount

• 80 - 80.99%                                0.20%
• 81 - 82.99%                                0.30%
• 83 - 84.99%                                0.40%
• 85 - 86.99%                                0.50%
• 87 - 88.99%                                0.60%
• 89 - 89.99%                                0.70%
• 90 - 92.99%                                0.90%
• 93 - 95.00%                                1.00%
• Over 95%                                   1.25%

For example, if you borrow $200,000 and this is 85% of the total property value, then the Low Equity Premium would be $1,000 (0.50% of $200,000).  This is a one-off fee and the amount may be added to your home loan.  To find out the percentage of the home loan you have against the total property value, use our simple calculator.
