How do lenders determine property investment loan eligibility?

Your ability to be eligible for a property investment loan is subject to a number of criteria. The three key factors taken into account are:

  • The value or your regular income
  • What your liabilities are (existing loans, credit cards, personals loans, car loans)
  • How many dependants you have (children under 17, or non-working partners)

When it comes to property investment, lenders will only allow you to borrow a portion of the value of the property and require that you have enough funds to cover a deposit for the property and any establishment costs. How much a lender is prepared to allow you to borrow will depend on the LVR (loan-to-valuation ratio).
