The restrictions apply to both investors and owner-occupiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-80607c67-0 byCHjx\">\n<p>This change was not expected to have a substantial impact on investors, after APRA admitted few major lenders would be caught by a move that was described as a \u201cpre-emptive\u201d step against a drop in lending standards.<\/p>\n<p>Figures released on Friday by the RBA showed creditor growth to property investors increasing to its fastest pace since late 2015, rising 8.9 per cent over the past 12 months.
