Easing lending restriction
If you are seeking to borrow against residential property for investment purpose, you can borrow up to 65% of the property value or purchase price, previously capped at 60%.
More and more first home buyers can take advantage of low deposit lending, with lenders having more appetite than ever.
First home buyers, previously had their buying journey on hold, could now be better off to get into the property market.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
