Property - Current Lending Restrictions

In 2016 the reserve bank introduced new loan LVR (loan to value ratio) restrictions.

In summary this means that:

For an owner-occupier residential property the LVR is set at 80% -
this means a 20% deposit will be required (with maximum 80% borrowing).

For residential property investors the LVR is set at 60% - meaning a 40% deposit will be required (maximum 60% borrowing and is generally the same for commercial property).

In some cases there may be exemptions for new builds and first home buyers.

While existing lending will generally be okay, if looking to top up a loan the new LVR rules are likely to apply.

"When I needed an accountant, a friend recommended we call DB Chartered Accountants.

David and the team made it very easy to get everything sorted and they also helped me bring the business into the online world. They advised us as to what was needed every step of the way and helped explain everything to us in a language we could understand.

They have helped us turn the business into a very healthy one, also helping us make it into a Ltd company.

Anytime we need a question answered they are only a phone call or email away and always answer promptly, sometimes with extra ideas we hadn’t thought of.

I would recommend DB Chartered Accountants to anybody who needs an easy, no fuss accounting firm."
