There’s still plenty of opportunities available to borrowers, according to Finni Mortgages’ Eva Loisance, who sat down with Phil Tarrant for the latest episode of the Smart Property Investment Show. Eva explains how some major lenders have now decided to apply a 1 per cent buffer instead of the usual 3 per cent in certain refinancing circumstances. This shift could significantly impact borrowers’ ability to move their mortgages between banks and potentially escape what Eva refers to as “mortgage prison”. They delve into the specifics of these changes, highlighting how they primarily target owner-occupiers and are also available for investors with a clean repayment history. Eva also notes that some banks are now allowing for cash out options, signalling a trend towards more flexibility in the lending industry.

With the country’s interest rate at an 11-year high, what are the new rules for playing the property investment game? Data nerd and founder of InvestorKit, Arjun Paliwal, sits down with Redom Syed, co-director at Confidence Finance, to provide a combined property research and housing finance point of view on how the Reserve Bank of Australia’s rapid rate rise cycle has raised the hurdles faced by property investors.
