    Another kick in the teeth for Investors with Westpac announcing a change to their 90% + lending for investors.

    New borrowers that require a 90% and above lvr (even if they are using equity in another property) will be required to have at least 20% equity in another property. 

    This is even with genuine savings and includes existing customers.

    Thanks for the info… very happy to see tightened lending criteria among major banks.  I hope it will drop even further to 80%
    This will have a big impact on property prices in the future…and  will eventually cool down the IP market.

    maybe they see something big is coming and don't want to over expose on property.
