Mortgage Guarantee Insurance
hypothekengarantieversicherungA MIG is usually needed when the debtor takes out a mortgage with a relatively high Loan to Value (LTV) relationship. The majority of mortgage creditors charge a higher credit fee, sometimes known as the MIG, when the LTV is above 75%. Whilst it is important to note that the costs of the mortgage default guarantee are borne by the debtor, MIG is an insurance contract in favor of the creditor.
This said, without a MIG, lenders would not be providing Mortgages at such high level LGTs, so most will be willing to foot this additional bill and get a bigger mortgage with a smaller deposition requirement consequently. As a rule, the fee for a MIG is charged at 6 - 8% of the amount of the LTV 75% over.
