    Hi All

    Just an update given it is an Property Investment Forum.

    This morning one of the larger regional lenders has restricted it’s maximum lvr to 80% for investors and several others have now lifted the bar when it comes to investment loans.

    Personally I think these moves are the first of many to kick in over the coming weeks.

    APRA’s attitude is “Put your house in order and reduce your risk or we will impose lending conditions on you”.

    Going forward more of a matter of extracting the equity when you can rather than when you need it.

    Cheers

    Yep – the changes are flowing through quickly. Reduced LVRs, changes to servicing models and less discounting on rates for IP loans :-(

    Cheers

    Thankfully it’s only Bankwest at this time – not a lender that investors should be using in any case. The adjustments to serviceability models and rate discounting removals are much larger impacts IMHO.

    Interesting times at the moment – as always we need to evolve with the challenges presented to us.

    All external loans sensitised from 5th June 2015 at 7.4% or 2.25% margin over and above the actual rate.

    Heaven forbid if you have a Pepper loan at 6.5% as you will need to service that at nearly 9%.

    Macquarie meeting tomorrow and expected to follow suit immediately.

    Cheers

    Yep – just found out too.

    Damn – it sucks that the generous lenders are being knocked out.

    I guess it’s just a matter of time for Nab?

    It’s going to be very difficult for those on average incomes to get a few IPs under their belt.

    Alternatively Jamie those with a few IP’s who decide to buy their own PPOR will now struggle to do so.

    Yep – sure will. Quite dramatic changes across the board :-( Guess it’s just a matter of adapting and working with the new set of rules.

    Cheers
