摘要:One of the fastest growing segments of the mortgage market in recent years has been ‘low doc’
loans. These are loans for which borrowers self-verify their income in the application process.
They are designed mainly for the self-employed or those with irregular income who do not
have the documentation required to obtain a conventional housing loan. But the lack of
documentation also leaves them open to abuse, for example by people who are overstating their
income to the lender in order to obtain a larger loan than otherwise. They may also be used by
people who have understated their income for taxation purposes.1
