I don’t have live access to the latest news sources in this moment. Based on the most recent items I’ve seen, ANZ has been updating investor lending policies in response to housing-market conditions and regulatory changes, including adjustments to servicing calculations and affordability criteria for investment loans. However, to give you a precise summary of the very latest developments, I recommend checking ANZ’s official announcements and reputable financial news outlets.
Here's how you can quickly verify the latest:
If you’d like, tell me your preferred region (Australia-wide or a particular state) and I can tailor a quick briefing and provide a checklist of what to look for in policy changes (e.g., LVR limits, rental income treatment, new-build vs existing property treatment).
