When it comes to lenders and mortgage insurance, they prefer if you have made only a few recent enquiries in the last 6 months, clean credit, long employment or they are likely to decline your home loan if the LVR is above 80%. Most of the major banks use an automated process called credit scoring that can decline your loan before an Assessor looks at your file. We have lenders on our panel that have sign off on Mortgage Insurance and assess the loan on it’s merits.
Most Banks and other lenders will not allow cash out to pay tax debts and releasing cash out of equity is considered by the banks to be very risky and they generally want to control cash out. We have funders that will allow unlimited cash out up to 80% of property value without controlling disbursements.
To consolidate your debts with a major lender you must have made all of your repayments on time in the last month for your unsecured debts and on time for the last six months for your current home loan. Banks quite often have a limit on the amount of debts they will consolidate. We have lenders on our Panel that will look at unlimited debt consolidation to 90% of Property Value.
Most lenders require that you be working in your job full time for six months or more, we have several other lenders that can assist even if you have been in your job on Probation.
Most of the Majors are not lending to older borrowers. We have lenders who can lend provided an exit strategy is in place to borrow funds to purchase both owner occupied and investment properties. Other products include Reverse Mortgage Loans and Aged Care Bonds.
Unfortunately many Lenders do not use your full income, especially people who receive overtime income, bonuses or commission basis or who receive other benefits.
A company title is an older style of title that was commonly used for blocks of units before the use of strata titles became common. Most lenders will set their maximum LVR’s at 80% or 70% in some cases however we have access to a lender at 85% of property – must be full income verification.
For residential investment loans many lenders now restrict the number of properties on one title, or properties on one block (regardless if they are strata titled) to a maximum of 2, 3 or 4. We have one lender which will consider residential loans for up a property with up to 8 units on one title.
As long as a unit is 40m2 or more (not including balconies and carports) we should be able to help finance it for you up to normal LVR guidelines, i.e. up to 90% and 95% LVR in some cases.
If the property is less than 40 m2 the maximum LVR we can get for you is 80%. Usually the property would have to be located in an area with high demand. here is no defined minimum size.

Serviced apartments are strata titled apartments generally owned by investors and managed by an entity that holds the management rights to the complex the apartments are located in. Mostly rental income from the apartments is pooled by the management company and all costs are also covered by the pool.
Serviced apartments fall outside of the mortgage insurer’s scope of acceptable properties. For that reason the maximum LVR available would normally be around > 80% LVR if the property can be removed from the letting pool within a reasonable timeframe and there are no restrictions on permanent occupancy of the property under the management agreement. If these conditions are not available the maximum LVR would be 60%.

Funders have strict polices when it comes to lending to borrowers who are purchasing converted properties. If you are buying a strata title unit that was formerly a hotel / motel or a warehouse you are limited to an LVR up to 85%.
If the use of the property is solely for the purpose of private residential occupation, including private residential occupation by a tenant, (i.e. must not be used for commercial income producing purposes). You can borrow up to 80% LVR on properties to 60 Hectares / 150 acres. The land must have easy access using an all weather road and the property must be connected to the electricity grid or can be connected without excessive costs. Town water and sewerage services are not required as many Australian properties have tank water or septic tanks instead. Land can be zoned rural or rural residential that is legally allowed to have a dwelling for occupation.
Funders have special lending policies for favorable sales, and although there may be plenty of equity in the property they will limit gift to direct relatives. You can borrow up to 95% LVR of property (Genuine savings is required on loans with mortgage insurance).
Most home loan lenders restrict the amount you can borrow to 80% or even 70% of the property value. However you may be able to borrow up to 95% of the property value using a mortgage loan on a case by case basis for strong applicants and well presented properties.
Converted warehouses may be in an industrial location, have design features that have limited appeal. You may be able to borrow up to 95% LVR for a converted warehouse on a case by case basis depending on location.
Community title usually refers to an entire subdivision. This where the entire community can pay to look after common grounds and gardens, security, tennis courts, pools and any other services. You may be able to borrow up to 95% LVR on a case by case basis depending on location.
Display homes may be accepted where purchased for immediate owner occupation up to 95% LVR. If they are to remain as display, they are limited to LVR 80%.Full valuation is essential to avoid assessments inflated by sale-lease back arrangements.
If part of a resort up to 60% of the property value. If the property can be removed from the letting pool within a reasonable timeframe and there are no restrictions on permanent occupancy of the property under the management agreement up to 80% LVR.
There is no freehold estate land in the Australian Capital but instead there is a leasehold system. If the lessor is the government for a particular state or territory then loans up to 95% LVR are available.
Unfortunately many Funders do not accept Sepp 5 / over 55 villages as security for a home loan or investment loan. You can borrow up to 80% of the value of the property depending on how specialised the property is and what restrictions there are on the resale or leasing of the property
