AU Australia property term
Borrowing Power
Australia-wide
Plain-English definition
An estimate of the maximum amount a lender may be prepared to lend after assessing income, expenses, debts, dependants and lending rules.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
A calculator result is not loan approval and may exceed a comfortable budget. Foreign-buyer status, visa type, overseas income and deposit source can materially change lender policy.
