HomeLegal - How the New LVR May Affect You

The new loan to value ratio, might mean that you need to save up for longer when wanting to purchase a property.

From the 1st of March 2021, LVR restrictions have moved to a maximum of 70%, which means that home buyers will need to have saved up at least 30% of the price for the house they are wanting to purchase.

Due to the COVID hardship, these restrictions have been eliminated from May to November 2020. The new changes made by the Reserve Bank suggest that the country is moving away from financial hardship assistance.

The LVR changes mainly have an impact on investment property buyers, who won’t be able to receive such a large loan when purchasing a house.
