    If the valuation has been done - usually one day.

    Cheers

    ANZ are great with timeframes usually (along with CBA and NAB).

    A day or two, depending on how busy they are.

    Terrible servicing, terrible rates and terrible all round policy. For example they can't handle more than 2 units on a single title or they charge you $10 for each additional offset requested.

    They just can't compete against the other guys. They had the awesome policy of one years financials but now a few of the lenders are doing this so its hardly a niche policy.

    Ironically they have an excellent commercial and developing finance arm which dwarfs most lenders.

    ANZ's pretty good for niche type lending i find - thats mainly when i go to them.

    As a direct competitor with the likes of Dragon/CBA, they do fall a little behind on a rate/product comparison. They are make big waves in the industry news about how they're going to try and get more business via the broker market.

    In terms of reasons to go to them:
    • Guarantor policy is near best on market. Servicing guarantor available (only on market?) and any relationship allowed.
    • COS policy can be useful when required.
    • Val policy on OTP is great.
    • Cash-out policy is still very good in LMI territory.
    Rate wise they're pretty poor. Product wise their not quite as flexible as their competitors. Hence they're used for specific reasons right now (refi rebate is also decent).

    Over time this may oscillate if they price themselves well again.

    Cheers,
    Redom

    The reason my broker said to go with ANZ is because we are highly leveraged and I also havent got a great base pay, but rather do a lot of overtime.

    ANZ look at overtime quite differently from most lenders. For most investors, they're not a lender that services very well, but under many circumstances they can be quite good and their treatment of overtime and other income outside of base salary is quite generous.

    They're generally not my first thought as a lender, but they certainly do have their niches.

    ANZ one of the few lenders who will go with most recent tax return for self-employed. So only need one year of good income as a sole trader or self-employed Also, as Peter mentioned and why your broker may have gone with them, good outside of base salary in general.

    So whilst not real competitive at the moment rate rise, probably due to servicing. Probably best to clarify this with your broker.

    Just to clarify this CBA and Westpac / St George are all 1 years financials now under 80% LVR. CBA has been for quite a while the other mob is a more recent change.

    I don't mind Anz - yes their pricing isn't too sharp at the moment but I think they have some great policies - especially for investors.

    In particular - their transparent cash out policy for deals within LMI territory is the best out there (IMO).

    Their serviceability calc has never even that great - but now most other lenders have joined them.

    Cheers

    ANZ is good with oversea income policy compared to rest of big four banks

    Agreed - they have some niches which can be relied upon enough to submit a deal, rather than rolling the dice and hoping for the best approach with a policy exception.

    Just another tool in the toolbox, than your standard fodder for every investors portfolio.

    Yep, ANZ are reliable and consistent.

    If I had a 7 day settlement, ANZ would be on top of my list followed by STG/BOM.

    I find their BDMs the best of the lot as they tend to recruit internally from credit.

    I am a big fan of them and their servicing is not as bad when used early on, probably better than WBC, NAB and CBA for someone with only owner occupied debt.

    Too bad their pricing is poor.
