    Hi

    Watch out if you have a line of credit type loan.

    ANZ have just sent out a letter to all  those with their LOC, the Equity Manager and th Home Equity Loan. They have changed the terms of the loan.

    The new terms include:

    Equity Manager and Home Equity Loan:
    Clauses introducing the right to:
    – reduce or cancel a credit limit at any time; and
    – demand payment of any outstanding balance.

    ANZ may also order a valuation on your property at its discretion:
    "The introduction of this clause allows ANZ to charge for valuations that it orders. ANZ may order a valuation on a security property if it has reason to believe that the property is no longer of sufficient value to secure the loan(s) it has outstanding against that property. An example of where ANZ may do this is if it finds a security property has been damaged and is not insured, or where a complex property valuation is required."

    Interesting!

    I think it is fair… the IP portfolio should be reasess every 1-2 years to reflect the actual 'real' value.

    It applies to share(s) and managed fund(s) if they are heavily geared.. the property will be next target…. why must be different to other type of investments… GO GO GO ANZ….

    Property guru alias 'spruiker' always preaches that property investment will not get assess by bank after inital purchase…. can borrow 100% bla bla bla bla bla….

    hi god

    Yes, its fair for the bank, but it could come as a sudden shock for those who had not anticipated having to suddenly reduce their loans.

    Terry,

    Not a surprise move though.. unless heavily geared at 110%.
    Keen to see how the property value hold up against bank valuation if enforced as you mentioned
