Smaller lenders returning to mortgages

27/01/2010

Smaller home lenders are returning to the home loan market after doing very little new business since the global financial crisis began in 2008.

Liberty Financial, Credit Union Australia and Homeloans Ltd are showing signs that they are ready and primed to write new loans and take on the big banks in the mortgage market.

Liberty Financial last month signed on with Mortgage Choice. Liberty is believed to have tightened its credit criteria, focusing on so-called near-prime customers for home and car loans.

Mortgage Choice chief executive Michael Russell said ''They have confirmed they have funds to lend - in this environment that's good news for us and that's good news for home buyers,'' Mr Russell said.
