The nation’s corporate regulator has enhanced actions against mortgage brokers who use misleading information to secure loans, according to The Australian Financial Review.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission is making the push in a bid to ward off fraud in the heated housing sector.
The watchdog is expected to announce today that it has barred two former brokers on account of using deceptive tactics to lock-in loans, with ASIC deputy chairman Peter Kell saying the financial crisis had contributed to a recent lift in misleading activity.
“They went through some very lean and tough years, and this creates risk for people to push the envelope when things warm up again,” Mr Kell told the AFR.
