ASB to stop considering overseas income in mortgage applications where a customer does not hold NZ citizenship or permanent residency
ASB has joined its key rivals in tightening lending criteria for overseas house buyers with offshore income.
"Overseas income will no longer be considered in applications where the customer does not hold New Zealand citizenship or permanent residency. Where a customer does hold New Zealand citizenship or permanent residency, we will consider overseas income on a case-by-case basis subject to certain conditions," an ASB spokeswoman told interest.co.nz.
"We continue to consider applications from customers without New Zealand citizenship or permanent residency where overseas income does not form part of the application, subject to certain conditions."
ANZ and Westpac both unveiled changed to their policies in this area last Thursday, and BNZ followed on Friday.
The changes by NZ banks come after their Australian parents halted lending to non-residents and temporary visa holders earlier this year. Subsequent to that The Australian Financial Review reported both ANZ and Westpac had discovered they had approved "hundreds" of home loans backed by fraudulent Chinese income documents, allegedly put together with the assistance of mortgage brokers. Interest.co.nz recently reported on claims of mortgage fraud in NZ along the lines of that reported by the AFR in Australia.

房产全解析
最近这两周,随着各大银行的房贷政策出台,新西兰整个房产市场都在“动荡”。人们也越来越关注整个房市外来的发展:是崩盘,或者是继续上涨。TFS认为了房市不可能短期“降温”。
各大银行对海外购房限制
6月13日截止,相继有Westpac、ANZ、BNZ和ASB银行都更改贷款政策,停止对海外房产买家发放贷款。
·         对非新西兰公民(citizenship)或者非永久居民(permanent resident visa)的客户:海外收入贷款将不再受理。新西兰当地收入的贷款申请仍然会被考虑。
·         对于新西兰公民或者永久居民:海外收入的贷款申请将根据具体情况和一定条件予以考虑。
·         各家银行对于可受理的贷款申请的最高贷款比例(LVR)分别都有不同程度地下降。同时关于投资者的还贷利率也有相应的调整。
供需不平衡
虽然新西兰主要银行关闭了海外购房的贷款业务,限制了当地贷款的幅度。但是这样的限制政策并不能彻底解决掉目前新西兰房市存在的最大问题:供需不平衡。
·         供:房源少
新西兰各地区的房源储备亮“红灯”。全国房源数量大降了24.5%,有专家声称,就目前的惠灵顿房源储备来看,未来可能再销售3个月左右,就可能面临着无房可买的情况。同时,新房建设数量不足。据统计,目前已经经过审批正在建设的新房数量远远不足以满足市场上的大量需求。
·         需:移民人口增加
伴随着新西兰整体房源没有明显增加,新移民的数量却不断上涨。截至去年9月份,新西兰人口在过去一年中增长了2%,达到460万人。这是过去20多年中增长最快的一年。而随着建筑业和软件业的发展,相关行业中持工签的人数自2013年以来也增长了25%。
随着大批新移民的到来,房产的需求量也在逐渐增加。绝大多数新移民都希望可以通过购买房产而更快融入到“Kiwi”环境当中,自己的房产也会让他们更有归属感。2016年来房产市场的交易量和成交价持续在上涨。1月份,全国房屋交易量年度上涨了13.2%,平均房价达到488,078纽币,年涨8%。
虽然银行出台了限制房贷的政策,但是在购买需求的推动下,新西兰尤其是惠灵顿地区的房价短时间仍然会继续上涨。再加上目前银行关于房屋贷款的还贷利率仍处于一个相对较低的水平。综合考虑,此时申请房屋贷款购房依旧是个不错的选择。TFS了解第一手的银行贷款信息,但凡联系我们的顾客,我们会竭诚根据您自身的条件,斟酌制定最适合的贷款方案。
