What do I need to know about this loan?
A reverse mortgage taps into the equity in your home to offer you funds for your retirement. You can choose to take these funds as a lump sum, a regular payment or a flexible cash-draw facility.
Reverse mortgages don't require regular repayments. Interest is calculated and added to the loan balance, and the loan is repaid when the last nominated borrower sells the home, moves out of the home or passes away.
Be sure to seek independent financial and legal advice before taking out a reverse mortgage.
What are the features and benefits of the IMB Reverse Mortgage?
- Loan amount and loan to value ratio. The IMB Reverse Mortgage carries a minimum borrowing amount of $20,000 and a maximum amount of $1,000,000. The maximum loan to value ratio is 50% of the equity in your home.
- Eligibility. You must be at least 70 years old to be eligible for a reverse mortgage through IMB.
- Repayment flexibility. A reverse mortgage does not require you to make regular repayments; however, the IMB Reverse Mortgage allows you to make as many repayments during the loan term as you like.
- Payment type. You can choose to receive your payments as a lump sum, a regular repayment or a cash-draw facility. You can also combine these options or switch your payment type during the term of the loan.
- Equity protection. This loan carries a no-negative-equity guarantee, meaning the loan amount can never exceed the value of your property. You also have the option of adding a protected equity option, which safeguards up to 25% of the value of your property.
