How can I calculate my equity?
Using ANZ Equity Explorer can help you discover how much equity you have in your home. Depending on your financial circumstances, you may be able to use the equity in your home to create or build your investment portfolio or to enhance your lifestyle.
How much can I borrow?
One of the factors that determines your borrowing capacity is your level of home equity – however your income, expenses, other debts and assets are also taken into account.
If you're taking out a loan to buy an investment property, the value of the existing home and the new property will be assessed.
In general, if you borrow more than 80% of the value of the property offered as security, your loan will be subject to Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI). However, people who have substantial equity in an existing property, may be able to borrow 100% of the value of a new property plus costs without incurring LMI. Of course you should consult with your financial advisor to see if this strategy is suitable for you, or our ANZ Financial Planners are available to help.
