Hi everyone,
One of my properties has 50% LVR due to property growth.
I am currently on career break and have not been in work for 4 months now but been comfortably repaying the interest. My property is also leased for 2 years.
Can I refinance back to 80% LVR or even just refinance to a lower rate at the same LVR with another bank?
Am i effectively locked into this higher rate until I find a job?

Unless you have substantial income elsewhere it is doubtful. Lenders are required by law to look at your overall financial situation and stress test any debts etc. This means that before even considering what your existing IP mortgage is – they will plonk living expenses of $24,000+ p.a they will want to see covered, only take 80% or less of the rent you receive, stress test the mortgage repayments of your mortgage by more than double etc.

A straight forward no!
Without the ability to pay the loan back it would be a breach of the nccp act for a lender to lender you money.

Not quite correct as NCCP only applied where the term of the loan is more than 62 days.
We do a lot of short term private loans where the borrower has a clear exit strategy but on paper does not appear to have sufficient income to service a traditional loan.

Hiya
Probably not with a mainstream lenders unless you are deriving a lot of income from other sources.

So you saying banks have existing default clauses requiring you to pay back the loan if your financial situation changes post loan funding even if you are meeting interest payments? Or for resi loans once the moneys lent as long as interest it paid its all fine even if the borrowers financial situation changes
I know commercial loans have quarterly interest coverage covenants etc but I can’t see monitoring clauses in big 4 funded loans

2 major boxes need to be ticked;
1. Security – being at 50% you are sweet there
2. Income – you will need to demonstrate income above and beyond all outgoings including living expenses which will leave you with surplus income that would need to cover the repayments at between 7-8% inmost cases.
