What can impact borrowing capacity?
Debt, credit cards, car loans or personal loans can affect how much the banks will lend you.
Mark Polatkesen at Mortgage Domayne said that just having a credit card can alter this amount.
“With credit cards, if you have no money owing on the cards, they're still going to make an impact on how much the banks will lend you a $10,000 credit card.
“It's probably going to reduce your borrowing capacity by about $50,000,” he said.
Mark also recommends reviewing your bank accounts to see if there's any discretionary spending that could be stopped. Think of things like food delivery, gym memberships or even streaming services can impact your ability to borrow.
Other factors can also contribute to individual borrowing capacity.
Please seek professional advice from your financial advisor, mortgage broker or financial institution for more detail.
