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.

      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
