Australian Prime Low-Doc Loan Compared to US Alt-A Loan

 

Spotlight Series

ISSUE 3

Introduction of the low-doc loan has created a unique opportunity for mortgage lenders and the self-employed borrower. Introduced to Australia in 1999, low-doc loans revolutionised mortgage lending for a key sector of the market.  Today, low-doc loans open opportunities for lenders to tap into a previously overlooked category of borrower. For self-employed workers and contractors, the introduction of low-doc loans helped many make the dream of home ownership a reality.  Low-docs vary from mainstream mortgage products only in that the borrower self-certifies their income. This self-certification is needed because the borrower does not have the up-to-date financial information required to obtain a fully documented loan at the time they wish to borrow the funds.  Other than the method to confirm income details, these loans are similar to a traditional home loan in terms of features and repayment options.  Low-doc loans service many needs, including owner-occupied or investment property requirements, home improvement, refinancing and debt consolidation.  “Rather than showing proof of income, as in a fully documented loan, a low-doc borrower self-certifies their income, which means they certify their income on which a serviceability assessment is then undertaken. This ensures that the stated income is sufficient to meet the proposed mortgage commitments.”

 

“The recent coverage of problems arising from the US sub-prime lending situation has been intense. The magnitude of the US situation begs the question, how could this have happened?”
