Episode 8 - Do the Lending Criteria Changes Affect Expat Australians Expat Mortgage Podcast

Welcome to the eighth episode of the Expat Mortgage Podcast where we discuss the latest issues of securing and maintaining an Australia mortgage whilst you are a Australian expat.

In this episode we run through the recent announcement by the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) instructing Australian Banks to amend the assessment rate.

We discuss the following points in today's episode:
* What is the assessment rate?
* How does a move from 2.5% to a 3.0% affect mortgage applications?
* What does a Australian expat applying for a loan need to consider?
* Are there more changes to the assessment rates forecast and will this affect Australian expats?
