Express Reverse Mortgage

The Express Reverse Mortgage is a simplified version of a traditional reverse mortgage.

The Express Reverse Mortgage is different to most reverse mortgages. You can only borrow a small amount of cash, but the upside is fewer restrictions based on your age and loan-to-value ratio, plus the rate is lower.

Expert review

The Express Reverse Mortgage is really suited to a specific type of borrower. Obviously you need to own a home and be over the age of 60. But you're probably also looking for a small infusion of cash to cover specific expenses.

    My wife and I own our home valued at $600,00 on which there is a bank guarantee on the title for $140, 000 for my daughters home. Are we eligible for a reverse mortgage?

      Hi John,

      You will need to mention this when enquiring with a lender, as it may adjust the amount you can borrow.

    We are respectively 84 and 83 years, on full pensions. We jointly own a villa in a strata complex of ten, in Port Macquarie, well managed by a professional agency with adequate property insurance,. present value about $575,000. We wish to establish a reverse mortgage with Express, of $20,000 having a Home Equity Access loan of $10,000. Would we be welcomed? And what would be the fees, rates and conditions?

      Hi Jimatport,

      We are unable to advise whether any applications would be successful or not, that really depends on the lender’s criteria. Once you apply, they’ll review your application and circumstances in full against all of their credit criteria. To check if you’re eligible, it is best to contact Express directly.

      Thanks,
      Rebecca

      Hi Len,

      It would be best to get in touch with a lender directly to make sure you’re eligible, as it depends on the type of property e.g. whether it’s in a retirement village.

      Thanks,
      Rebecca

      Hi Oriono,

      There’s only one type of reverse mortgage and it usually involves borrowing some money now against the value of your property, with the funds to be repaid out of your estate. Usually, you provide some equity (or growth in value of the property) as part of the arrangement

      To get more insights and to better understand how it works, visit our Reverse mortgages page.

      For the Express Reverse Mortgage, you can view their rates and fees on their website.

      I hope this helps!

      Cheers,
      Sarah
