Understand how much equity YOU could UNLOCK!
You remain the homeowner of your property and can benefit from any growth in the property value in the future. Reverse mortgages are well regulated by the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009; these protections apply to our ASAG Reverse Mortgage as well as other equity release products.
The “No Negative Equity Guarantee” (NNEG) law was introduced in 2012, so you can be protected and cannot owe more than your home’s value.
As part of the Government protections, all lenders within the Equity Release industry must provide you with an ASIC MoneySmart projection. This projection gives you three circumstances of how your equity against your loan will look over a 5, 10 and 15 year period. Although no one can predict the future, these circumstances take assumptions into consideration to give you the best prediction as possible.
