How an Australian Seniors Advantage Group reverse mortgage works
If you're over 60 and own your home, you can borrow from that equity. The loan can be used for a number of reasons and you don't need to repay it until you permanently leave that property.
Once you've submitted your application a professional valuation of your property will be conducted. If approved for the reverse mortgage you can choose how to receive the funds. You'll continue to own and live in the property.
The interest on the loan will be calculated daily and added to the loan balance each month. Although the loan repayment is not due until you leave the property, you can make partial repayments or repay in full before that time with no penalty.

More questions about ASAG's reverse mortgages
A reverse mortgage allows you to access the equity in your home (the amount of the property you own) to draw down cash without needing to sell the property.
The lender charges interest and fees on the money you borrow, but it accumulates until you repay the loan, usually when you leave the property or pass away. There are no stipulations around how you use the reverse mortgage, and you can repay early with no penalty.
Your equity is the amount of the home that you own. Basically, it's the value of your property minus the balance remaining on your home loan. Most people start off owning between 10-20% of the property depending on the deposit you saved. But the more you've paid down your home loan, the more of the property you own.

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
