    There's no restriction on LVR for having "multiple projects" unless you placed both deal with a smaller lender and some do have a max LVR based on "each client's exposure"

    Im presume a build of 3-4 units/townhouse for each project..and presume you have the servicing can't see why can't go for 80% or even 90% each.

    No it's with big 4 Banks, The Frist one is in Melbourne and the other is in Sydney, which fixed price contract from buldier, the bank says cannot lend only 70% lvr to avoid risk of default by the buldier , so I was not expecting last minute suprise when the other project comes on board in next month for settlement of land

    Are they with the ANZ? The ANZ has a restriction of 70% LVR on 2 or more properties, which also suggests they're cross collateralised given they're not in the same location. The other possibility is they're in the CBD or close to it where other LVR restrictions can apply.

    Like Mick, I think 90% should be quite possible, but it looks like the approach to the finance is wrong on several levels.

    Yes it's Anz
    What shall I do , shall I use the preapproved one for 90% and move to other lender for the second one which is settling in 2 months time , I was told by my broker after few drawdowns on the first they might lend 90% is it true ?
    And they have already did credit check on 2 nd property as its was due to settle 5 months ago which has been delayed
    Please advise

    Unless serviceability is a problem, or they're cross collateralised, I can't see why they wouldn't go to 90% on both as two separate deals. Your broker needs to be giving you better information, or you need to be asking more questions as to why there's a problem.

    Settlements are late all the time for construction. Not much you or the bank can do about it, you've just got to work with it.

    Easy - just move onto another lender that will allow a higher lvr.

    If you service with ANZ you should service with the others.

    Cheers
