Eventus Financial Featured in Yahoo Finance: ANZ Tightens Investor Lending Rules Following Negative Gearing Changes
As Featured in Yahoo Finance | Expert Commentary by Alex Veljancevski
Eventus Financial Founder and Director Alex Veljancevski has been featured in Yahoo Finance, providing expert insights into how changes to negative gearing are reshaping Australia's mortgage lending landscape and reducing property investors' borrowing capacity.
The article highlights ANZ's decision to join Westpac, NAB and Macquarie in tightening investment lending policies following the 2026 Federal Budget, leaving Commonwealth Bank as the final major lender yet to announce changes at the time of publication.
Alex explained that removing negative gearing benefits from lenders' servicing calculations could reduce an investor's borrowing capacity by approximately 20%. Using a practical example, he demonstrated how a borrower earning $100,000 annually with no existing debt could see their borrowing capacity fall from $750,000 to $600,000.
The article also examines the implications for existing pre-approvals, investor confidence and property market activity as lenders adjust their credit assessment policies.
Alex's commentary reinforces Eventus Financial's expertise in investment property finance, borrowing capacity assessments and helping Australians navigate changing lending policies to achieve their property investment goals.
