Reverse mortgages

Reverse mortgages and other equity release products
Reverse mortgages and other equity release products let you use the equity in your home while you still live in it. In Australia you might be offered either:
  • a reverse mortgage (this is the most common), or
  • a home reversion scheme (available in some areas).

These products have some common features:
  • They are generally only available if you are aged 60 or over.
  • You can qualify for equity release without an income.
  • You don’t need to repay any money while you live in your home.
