Reducing Home Loan Complexity and Speeding Up Credit Assessments
Slow credit assessment and unnecessary complexity in the lending system could be preventing Australians from accessing home ownership sooner, according to the Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA).
Appearing before the Senate Select Committee on Intergenerational Housing Inequity this month, MFAA chief executive Anja Pannek said friction in the lending process, not just affordability, is a barrier to home ownership.
“When someone can sustainably afford home ownership, unnecessary complexity, duplication, or inflexibility in the lending system should not prevent or delay them,” Pannek said.
The MFAA’s submission calls for:
Reduced friction in accessing credit
Simpler government home ownership schemes
Improved housing mobility
More flexible regulatory settings, including more forgiving serviceability buffers for borrowers refinancing to cheaper loans
Direct Credit Home Loans understands these challenges and is making the road to home ownership easier.
