Westpac has cut lending to all foreign real estate buyers? http://www.smh.com.au/business/prop...reign-property-investors-20160427-gofza6.html
It's only one lender out of 20+ doing this. They do about 65% of all non-resident lending which is quite high for any bank so mitigating risk by ensuring capital adequacy enforced by APRA is in place for domestic borrowers who won't have to rely on Immi to grant them a visa. And Vic have announced they'll increase Land And Stamp tax for foreigners.
