PHOTO:\u00a0Homeowners who have bought in the past few years are most vulnerable, especially if they borrowed 90 per cent of the value of their loan<\/strong><\/p>\n

THOUSANDS of Australians are stuck in a \u201cmortgage prison\u201d with new lending criteria leaving them unable to refinance their loans to get a better rate.<\/p>\n

\n

Changes in bank rules around living expenses calculations have effectively wiped huge amounts off the maximum a bank will allow you to borrow.<\/p>\n

Many people are now finding they originally borrowed more than a bank would lend them under current conditions, meaning they haven\u2019t got the option of shopping around to get a better interest rate \u2014 no bank will lend them the amount they need.<\/p>\n

Lending criteria has been tightened in the past year. The ongoing Financial Services Royal Commission is likely to tighten the criteria even further \u2014 meaning people will be able to borrow even less than they once did.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
