ASAG Reverse Mortgage Loan Features
An important decision to make when you take out a reverse mortgage loan is which lender to choose. These are some of the features that can help you consider ASAG as a provider.
Customer protection
To make you confident with your decision to take out a loan through a reverse mortgage, ASAG offers lifetime occupancy. This is so you can continue to benefit from any increase in property value. A ‘no negative equity guarantee’ is also offered to protect you from owing more than your property’s value. Seeking independent legal advice may also be required.
Drawdown options
ASAG solutions help to facilitate unlocking only what you need. To manage access to your home equity, we give you flexible drawdown options that can be used in combination, such as a lump sum advance, regular instalments, or cash reserve.
Repay without penalty
An ASAG Reverse Mortgage Loan does not require regular repayments, as it is repaid from the future sale of the property. Although, you can still make repayments if you prefer to, at any time without penalty.
Equity protection option
Customers may choose to protect 10%, 20% or an allowable percentage of the net proceeds from the sale of the property. It means the protected percentage is theirs, regardless of the loan balance on discharge. Although, this option will reduce the loan amount available by the selected percentage.
Aged care
Some reverse mortgage providers will not give funding where the customer no longer lives in their home. ASAG offers this solution for people who are already in a residential care facility or those planning to move into care in the future.
