			<description>I agree at 45% lvr you would seem to have sufficient equity however under NCCP affordability is very important.

In saying this every lender calculates its servicing differently and you might find what doesnt fit for one lender does for another.</description>

			<description>2 consecutive payslips within the last 4 weeks should do you especially if they have your YTD income on them.

Some lenders like to see the previous years Group Certificate.

As long as the payslips are not handwritten you should be ok.</description>

If LMI is involved be preapred to be thru the ringer by the mortgage insurer who after you have provided them with everything may still say NO.

Borrowing these days is not a forgone conclusion and i guess like many other Brokers on the forum nothing suprises me these days when i hear a loan has been declined irrespective of the quality of the applicant.

Let your Broker do the negotiations for you by sourcing a lender to meet your needs rather than grabbing a lender and trying to get them to relax their policy or T & C's. It just wont happen.]]></description>

			<description>Has already happened over the last couple of years. Nothing to stop a lender saying 0.4% discount from $250-$500K and 0.5% from 500 - 750K.

$750K + 0.7% max.

Also do you have the 100 bps in writing or was it like so many Wesuck customers who were granted it over the phone when they said they were going to refi away. That can be cancelled at any time and revert package to the applicable package fee.

Just wait for the Big 4 to put there rates up in the next 4 weeks or so.

All a matter of who wants to be first.</description>

			<description>I assure you i didnt post it to win any title.

Just to say that in the current climate your borrowing needs to fairly high to get a decent above normal discount or the Bank needs to want your business.

At the moment the later is unlikely so assume you can service the higher boorrowing you can but try. If anything as time goes by i think you will see lenders cut the discount offered not increase it.</description>

			<description>Interesting topic and one that hopefully all will find a level playing over the next year or two.

I have just had an email from a client this morning to tell me that as his full doc loan was all approved he went out yesterday to buy a lounge suite on interest free credit. 

As he was negotiating with the 20 year old female shop assistant she said why not apply for a separate Myer Card with a $7500 limit whilst you are here. He filled out his name, address and a few contact numbers and the fact he owned his own home had the card approved in a few minutes.

There was no question or evidence of about income (not that would have been an issue) nor asking him about his liabilities. How could she had known whether such a credit contract would not be unsuitable.

Certainly will be interesting to see when the likes of Myer and HN have to comply with the new legislation and every member of the sales staff advising on credit has to be licensed. 

Finally as Rolf mentioned there are no regulations and never has been on what documentation a lender offering a lodoc product can ask for.</description>

We have found that dealing with Perpetual for Anz settlement has been a big improvement as at least you have someone who knows what they are doing and only deals with the file settlement.

Now if you had said you have a problem with assessment or documentation which comes out of India then i would have understood. Be suprised how many times i have had a call on my mobile at 10.30pm Saturday saying" Good morning how is the weather in Brisbane this morning.

Hate to say but you are wrong there.

When you purchase the interest of your spouse in the property for 50% of the current valuation and then in turn rent the property out the interest on the loan is 100% fully deductible.

Assuming the current property is valued at say $450,000 CKW could purchase his wifes share for $225,000 taking out an interest only loan. In turn Stamp Duty in Qld is payable on the $225,000 only.

The net funds could then be used to purchase land / part fund the construction of the new PPOR.

If the property is sold into a Unit Trust for $450,000 then Stamp Duty is payable on the full consideration however the entire interest on the entire loan becomes deductible.

Both are strategies we have been using with clients for over a decade now.</description>

			<description>It is a question we get asked regularly by clients and depending on the numbers there are a couple of options:

1) Purchase your wifes 50% share in the property.

2) Purchase the entire property using a Unit Trust structure.

Both will incur Stamp Duty.

Of course the duty on # 1 will only be 50% and if you intend to live in the property for some time could well be worth.

I have 2 clients here in Brisbane going through exactly the same restructure as suggested and both of them agree it will be in their favour to Transfer the Title.</description>

Yes strange that you can get a deal from a client that you know the Bank will do at 80% lodoc with no information required yet you are required to ask them for BAS / Trading Statements. 

Taking it a stage further nothing to stop a Broker charging a client a fee for giving them the name of a lender and documentation requirements.</description>

			<description>Hate to say you may have a problem.

All depends on the lender and the extent of the pre-approval.
A nod and a wink and all is good sorta pre-approval means nothing but a full application, CRAA etc etc might just need some updating and go through under the old policy.

Other than that start saving madly.</description>

			<description>As Rolf said NCCP covers 2nd mortgages, private loans, wraps instalments etc etc etc.

And in a few years think of all the fun you will have with NCCP at Harvey Norman when some 18 year spotty teenager asks you did you want to have the computer on credit and then has to wait an hour for the License holder to drive in from his day off only to say to you that the loan would not be suitable and you need to pay cash or go elsewhere.</description>

			<description>Dear Mr Ormond

By a posts made on 6 February 2009 (Post) I made certain statements to a number of people directed at Wayne Ormond

The Posts contained serious allegations which I regret having made.

I am pleased to take this opportunity to withdraw them. Contrary to the impression which the Posts may have given, neither Wayne Ormond nor Refund Home Loans Pty Ltd has engaged in any unsatisfactory conduct.

I deeply regret that the Posts may have given any misleading impression about Wayne Ormond. I understand that Wayne has acted in an honest and reputable manner, both professionally and personally.

I deeply regret my suggestion that Wayne has been involved in legal battle with the Queensland Office of Fair Trading or any mortgage lender that would affect the viability of the establishing or dealing with a Refund Home Loans franchise. I apologise that my suggestion has damaged his reputation and goodwill and has an adverse effect on his business operations.

I also apologise for the personal distress and anxiety which misstatements, errors and omissions in my Post has caused Wayne Ormond, his family and employees.

The defamatory imputations conveyed by my statements are withdrawn without reservation and I sincerely apologise for the damage and distress that my statements and similar publications may have caused.

Yours faithfully

Might be different if you were only putting in 10% deposit but had Assets in the background you didnt want to cash in.</description>

			<description>Couple of considerations but in essence look to access equity on your current property through your existing lender to cover a partial deposit and acqusition costs.

Then Jointly look to take out a standalone loan on the new property.

If his debt is for non investment purposes with non deductible interest i would look to pay it down as quickly as possible.

Keep you new loan Interest only with 100% offset so that you maximise the Tax deductions once you move out and make it an IP. 

Assuming that you qualify for the FHOG I would not use these funds to reduce the borrowings but place the money in the offset account.

Your Broker should be able to structure the loan for you correctly.</description>

			<description>Brett you have nailed it on the head.

What will happen next with the majors whinging about the funding costs is that a client will get offered a bigger Pre-package discount going direct than you will going thru a Broker for the same amount. Course they will say that the broker is offering advice but we all know it is just an excuse to remove us from the industry.

In the UK it is solely fee for service but you have 85 lenders to choice from and they want you business. When i was over there there was over 300 lenders and most had a little niche area. Many only dealt with Brokers.

Went to a seminar recently where someone asked a ASIC representative why the mobile manager from the Bank of Qld who originated the fraudelent loan to enable the clients to invest in Storm Financial had not been prosecuted some 18 months later whilst the Brokers involved had the book thrown at them. 

She couldnt answer saying it was an ongoing investigation. What 2 years later !!!

On the Fin Planning side i regularly get clients just ask me for a rough premium quote for a bit of life, trauma cover etc and fail to see why i cant just give them a figure when some girl from a Bank call centre can ring them at night (without even knowing them) and offer them a premium over the phone.</description>

			<description>Agree with the guys. 

Also like the Advantage wholesale product if you want no frills, low interest rate, long interest only term and no set up or ongoing costs.

They do however require a decent explanation under NCCP as to the benefit for the client in refinancing. Interest rate savings would be one benefit.

Course full fact find required to ensure the loan is not unsuitable.</description>

			<description>The MISA A/c offered by CBA under their package is a non transactional account so ideal for everyone as IMO it is a bit cumbersome.

I prefer to guide clients into a 100% fully transactional offset account with someone like the NAB at 95% lvr. Interest only at 95% for a FTB buyer might be slightly harder than you think so if this causes a problem take the loan over say 30 years so the principal reduction is minimal.

Always make the payments monthly so there is no real reduction in the capital balance other than the basic principal component.</description>

			<description>Hi Pete

There are still the odd Bank lender that doesnt require them my point i guess was how as a Broker can we do the loan when we have to comply with NCCP yet the Bank doesnt.

Spoke to a client who wanted a Lodoc 80 loan at the start of the week and couldnt provide BAS or Bank Statements. I couldnt do however could have charged him a fee and told him which Bank would do it and then he could have gone and applied direct .

To me it is ridiculous that a Bank johnny can flout the legislation for 6 months using a stated income but you and I have to make additional verification of the clients income on our Fact Find.</description>

			<description>Whilst i respect Pete i am not convinced that under NCCP you could get away without BAS or Trading Statements post July 1.

Lenders arent covered until Jan 1 2010 but Brokers and non bank lenders certainly are.</description>

			<description>Mal wont get anyone from Oz to lend in the UK but try someone like John Charcoal in London (Think they are still with us) as they are the biggest Broker in the Uk and certainly should be able to assist.</description>
