确实如果关了，感觉会穷死。。。但是我不准备海外贷款。。。经理跟我说这个也许有一丝丝可信度？

评论

腰斩感觉不太。。。。。唉。。。等到什么时候。。。准备年底之前先做个贷款预批。。。

评论
明年大选，今年房价继续失控的话对国家党没好处！

评论

最怕就是一边等。一边又看着房价嗷嗷的涨。

评论

看来楼上是内部人士 我从朋友那儿听到的以及澳洲论坛上看到的信息都说澳洲各大银行这2个月开始收紧海外收入贷款，审批过程异常严格，是不是新西兰也快了？

评论
今天澳洲的WESTPAC已经停了海外借贷。。。。

评论
昨晚参加Barfoot南区Regional Award，Peter Thompson亲口说政府很可能最近会出台新政策压制房价的继续上扬。这些海外来购房的还能在本地贷款本身就是不合理的，迟早会被政府政策砍掉。

评论
赶紧关吧，在为首套房奋斗的人终于有点希望了，不用住去gulf harbour，最好关闭海外人士购买二手房。

评论

gulf harbour环境不错的说

评论
这招狠啊。。。。。

评论
澳洲的新闻已经报了，westpac从26号开始全面禁止用海外收入贷款。新西兰肯定也会跟上的，谁要用海外收入贷款的抓紧吧。

评论
我觉的这招会有些作用的

评论
看来房事又要歇菜了

评论
Google了半天， 也没有查到任何英文媒体报道。

在澳洲人也对日益高涨的房价怨声载道的时候， 媒体不应该错过这样的新闻。

评论

没有新闻吗？我前几天问的也是westpac的贷款经理呢。

Australian Banks Tighten Mortgage-Lending Requirements for Foreigners

MELBOURNE, Australia—Australia’s biggest banks are toughening lending criteria for home loans to foreigners.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd., the country’s biggest bank by market value and the largest mortgage-lender, as of Monday tightened requirements for some foreigners with applications involving self-employment and temporary visas. That echoed a move last month by Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.

Australian lenders—who have enjoyed years of relatively low levels of bad debts—are losing their appetite for risk as the country’s red-hot housing market shows signs of slowing and stresses mount for resources companies amid a slump in commodity prices. Authorities last year also pushed banks to tighten lending standards as they worried that speculative home-loans were fueling house prices and that banks would loosen lending standards as they scrambled for market share amid a record low central-bank cash rate.

Foreign investment into Australian real estate has been booming, accounting for about 50% of the value of all investment approvals granted by the country in the last financial year. A large proportion of the property investments involved Chinese investors, government data showed.

Nonresident Chinese own a small portion of Australia’s housing stock but the central bank recently said they account for a significant and increasing share of purchases, particularly apartments in Sydney and Melbourne. In its latest assessment of the financial system, released last week, the Reserve Bank of Australia warned that if a significant subset of property buyers, such as increasingly important Chinese buyers, reduced demand sharply it would weigh on housing prices. Such a reduction in housing demand could come from a sharp economic slowdown in China or a further tightening of capital controls by Chinese authorities, it said

Still, the central bank said the Australian banking system has little direct exposure to Chinese investors. While Australian-owned banks engage in some lending to foreign households to purchase Australian property, the amounts are small relative to their mortgage books, it said.

The changes introduced by Commonwealth Bank include no longer allowing foreign currency income as an eligible source of income in home-loan application, as well as lowering the maximum ratio for loans to 70% of the value of the property from 80% previously for certain foreign residents living and working in Australia and being paid in Australian dollars.

“We constantly review and monitor our home-loan portfolio to ensure we are maintaining our prudent lending standards and meeting our customers’ financial needs,” a spokesman for the bank said Tuesday.

Like other banks in Australia, Commonwealth Bank last year lifted mortgage rates on home loans to investors in response to a call by the industry regulator to curb lending to local property speculators.

Last month, mortgage brokers received a letter from ANZ saying it was changing foreign-income thresholds and increasing the documents required to include all visa information, employment contracts and three months of pay slips. The note said it also would no longer accept applications from borrowers that only have income from overseas, and would fix the maximum loan-to-value ratio at 70% for applicants with foreign income of more than 50% of their total.

A spokeswoman for National Australia Bank Ltd. said the lender on April 9 tightened its loan limit for foreign applicants to 70% of home values from 80%, and that settings were continually reviewed.

In March 2015, the former federal treasurer ordered the sale of a 39 million Australian dollar (US$30.2 million) Sydney property that he ruled had been purchased illegally by a foreign-owned company. Since then, the Australian Taxation Office ruled that more than 25 further homes unlawfully held by foreign nationals would be sold.

Proposed investment in residential real estate increased to A$60.8 billion in the year to mid-2015, from A$34.7 billion the year before, with a further A$36.2 billion of proposed investment in commercial real estate, according to data from the Foreign Investment Review Board.

Approved foreign investment in residential and commercial real estate reached A$96.9 billion in the 2015 financial year, compared with A$74.6 billion the year before, according to data from the Foreign Investment Review Board.

Foreign incomes do not count for temporary residents buying property in Australia

The nation’s biggest bank will no longer accept foreign incomes as part of a home loan application.
EXCLUSIVE

THE nation’s biggest bank has slammed the door shut on home loan lending to some applicants with foreign incomes as it further tightens its lending standards.

The Commonwealth Bank yesterday revealed it would no longer be accepting home loan applications from temporary residents who are not earning an income in Australia.

It comes just a month after ANZ reviewed its lending to foreign investors and temporary residents.

The CBA crackdown is expected to have a flow-on effect to other lenders and could make it easier for Australian residents to buy property by cutting out applications from temporary residents, experts say.

The Foreign Investment Review Board’s report this month revealed $97 billion of real estate investment by foreigners was authorised in Australia in 2014-15.

Mortgage broking firm Home Loan Experts’s managing director Otto Dargan said the shift by CBA was a sign banks were “far less interested in dealing with temporary investors and foreign investors.”

“The banks are worried because there’s been a large number of borrowers faking an offshore income to get a home loan,’’ he said.

“Some banks have tightened their policy and others pulled out of lending to people overseas altogether.

“At the moment foreign investors can still buy properties but their choice of lenders is shrinking fast.”

However under these latest changes by CBA, foreign currency PAYG income and foreign currency rental incomes will still be acceptable income sources for Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and New Zealand citizens.

Noting the move will reduce the number of applicants falsifying incomes, a CBA spokesman said only a low number of applicants would be affected by these changes.

“CBA has tightened our requirements for some temporary residents in the areas of self-employed applicants and temporary visas who are seeking to borrow for residential purposes,’’ he said.

“Applications involving these customers represent a significantly low proportion of our total home loan applications and these are verified and assessed in line with Commonwealth Bank’s lending policies including requirements for income earned in Australia.”

The CBA has also tightened the screws on loan-to-value ratios — the maximum LVR for temporary Australian residents living and working here and being paid in Australian dollars is being reduced from 80 per cent to 70 per cent.

The Real Estate Institute of Australia’s president Geoff White said it was “good news” for local buyers.

“It’s going to make it more difficult (for temporary residents) to obtain finance to buy,’’ he said.

“There’s no doubt it will have an effect, the question is to what degree.”

Unlike CBA, a National Australia Bank spokeswoman said the bank continues to lend to temporary residents with foreign incomes.

“All foreign home loan applications are considered on a case-by-case basis and assessed under verification standards for employment and income, and that these settings are continually reviewed,’’ she said.

NAB reduced its maximum loan-to-value ratio from 80 per cent to 70 per cent for foreign applicants.

Westpac said it regularly reviewed its nonresident lending policies to ensure continued responsible lending consistent with the economic landscape.
