We provide legal advice for reverse mortgage borrowers across Australia, and all completely remotely, online.
Reverse mortgages are for those over 60 looking to access their home equity without monthly repayments, with the loan and interest repaid upon the home’s later sale.
We ensure you understand the terms and implications of this unique equity release loan.
A reverse mortgage is a home loan that lets over 55’s access part of the equity they have in their home. If they own their property outright they can borrow against the value of their home and receive funds in a variety of different forms, be it a lump sum of cash, a line of credit or a recurring monthly payment.
The main difference with a conventional home loan, is that no monthly repayments are required. Interest will continue to accrue on the loan, but is compounded onto the loan amount monthly.
When you sell, move out, or die, the sale proceeds pay off the balance of the loan, all interest, fees and charges.
Because of the nature of the loan, a borrower must usually see a lawyer to obtain legal advice on the effect of these reverse mortgages and the risks involved.
The lender will send you a number of loan documents in the mail (or increasingly by email) addressed to you as the borrower. Including special ‘reverse mortgage’ loan terms.
