This information is general in nature and has been prepared without taking your objectives, needs and overall financial situation into account. For this reason, you should consider the appropriateness of the information to your own circumstances and, if necessary, seek appropriate professional advice.
+LVR stands for the initial loan to value ratio. LVR is the amount of your loan compared to the Bank’s valuation of your property offered to secure your loan expressed as a percentage. Home loan rates for new loans are set based on the initial LVR and won’t change during the life of the loan as the LVR changes.
*Proof of genuine savings is required only where the loan-to-value ratio (LVR) exceeds 90%. Use of rent as genuine savings is permitted for owner-occupier loans only; investment loans are not eligible. Borrowers must be currently renting through a licensed agent or property manager for a minimum of six months, with a satisfactory rental repayment history.
