Bank loan rules regarding PPOR

mardi 28 avril 2015

Hi folks,

Firstly, apologies if this is a repeat question (I searched the forums, but haven't found a thread discussing this topic specifically).

My question is regarding bank rules regarding PPOR:

Is it true that if (most?) banks agree to lend 95% of the property value, they require that the buyer use the property as a PPOR (i.e. reside in the property he/she buys)?

The implication of this is that if the borrowing is 90% or less, the property can be bought as an IP.

If this is true, what do the laws/rules say? I have a pre-approval from a bank that explicitly (verbally only, through the customer service personnel) forbids buying a property as an IP because I can only come up with a deposit of 5% at the moment.

Please shed some light.

Thanks in advance.
