Lo Doc Home Loans (up to 60% LVR)

What is a 60% LVR lo doc loan?

A 60% loan to value ratio (LVR for short) is where a loan is 60% of the value of the property that secures it. For example, a $300,000 loan to purchase a property worth $500,000 would have an LVR of 60%.

A lo doc home loan is one where the borrower declares their income to a lender and the lender relies on that information (among other things) to determine if the borrower can afford the loan repayments.

If you combine the two you have the 60% LVR lo doc home loan!

Are they still doing 60% lo doc home loans?

Yes, the good news is that 60% lo doc home loans are still available for most loan purposes. The range of lenders available includes major banks, regional banks and non bank lenders. We have access to a number of lenders who do 60% LVR lo doc home loans on the same or very similar terms as fully verified loans.

60% LVR loans are viewed as having a low risk of loss by lenders.  If a lender is forced to take possession of a property from a borrower they are very likely to be able to recover their outstanding loan by selling the property. That doesn’t mean they will lend to anyone with sufficient equity though! After all, lenders do not want to force their clients to sell their homes or be forced to sell their homes for them.

Which lenders have the cheapest 60% Lo doc home loans?

Like all loan scenarios, it depends on who will do the loan for you and then from there who has the most suitable and cost effective loan offering. At Mortgage Experts we can help you determine which loan is best for your requirements.

Yes and No. It depends on the lender. We have options available which do not require either.

If I am self employed do I need to have an ABN number?
