The latest FBAA monthly broker poll shows significant progress has been made in lowering the stress levels of mortgage brokers. The survey of 100 FBAA members brokers carried out in October in partnership with CoreData shows that just 38% of mortgage brokers were affected by stress in October – the lowest level since June and down from 60% in September. The poll asked brokers if they had noticed their mental or physical health had been affected by stress in the past six months. READ MORE 👇 #FBAA #Financebrokersaustralia #Mortgagebroker

After hearing evidence from APRA, banks, lenders and other stakeholders, including members of the broking industry, the committee concluded that existing prudential standards, such as the buffer, either lock potential first home buyers out of the housing market or make them overly reliant on the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’. As such, the committee has outlined seven recommendations for areas where financial regulations can be adjusted to promote home ownership. These recommendations include a lower serviceability buffer for first home buyers, “that can be adjusted responsively to the economic cycle and to support financial stability settings within APRA’s prudential standards”.

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) is under scrutiny over its decision to leave the mortgage serviceability buffer at 3 per cent, with the Finance Brokers Association of Australia (FBAA) accusing the regulator of not acting in the best interest of Australians. The FBAA labelled the decision “nonsensical” and said the regulator had let down home loan borrowers. FBAA managing director Peter White AM called on the federal government to intervene and force the regulator to reduce the buffer rate, which he said is preventing thousands of Australians from purchasing a home and forcing thousands more to remain in “mortgage prison” unable to refinance.
