Improvements to our Owner Occupier affordability model

2 Dec 2025

We’ve improved our affordability calculator - up to 25% more borrowing power now available. 

On 1 December, we made further improvements to our Owner Occupier affordability calculator for Repayment and Interest-Only mortgages. This significantly enhances how much yourclients can borrow.  

These updates are designed to give you greater flexibility and support more positive outcomes for your customers.

Procuration Fees 

We continue to pay a Procuration Fee of 0.4% of the loan amount on owner occupier cases. This is the same for new mortgages and product transfers.  

Please visit our About & Fees page for more information on Procuration Fees.
