The Retirees Access Home Loan is a variable rate reverse mortgage loan specifically designed to assist those who have reached, or are nearing, retirement age and own their home.
You are able to borrow against the equity in your home and the balance of the loan is paid by your estate or when the property is vacated or sold. This is a very specific type of loan and special conditions apply.
We recommend that applicants discuss their intentions with their family and also investigate if the Loan may impact on any Government support payments, entitlements or other benefits.
We recommend that you obtain financial advice before applying for this product. Independent legal advice must be obtained before settlement of the loan will proceed.
