Seniors – Reverse Mortgages

If you’re aged 60 or over and looking for a way to boost your retirement income, a reverse mortgage could offer a smart, flexible solution. Without needing to sell your home or make regular repayments, a reverse mortgage lets you access the equity you’ve built up over the years to fund the retirement lifestyle you deserve.

Our reverse mortgage specialists will help you explore whether this option aligns with your goals – offering clear, personalised guidance every step of the way.

How does a Reverse Mortgage work?

A reverse mortgage is a type of loan available to Australians aged 60+, allowing you to borrow money against the value of your home. Unlike a traditional loan, there are no ongoing repayments required. Instead, the loan is repaid when the home is sold – typically when you move into aged care or pass away.

You remain the full legal owner of your home and can choose how you receive the funds: as a lump sum, regular income stream, line of credit, or a combination.

You can use a reverse mortgage to:

  • Supplement your superannuation or retirement income

  • Pay for in-home care or medical expenses

  • Renovate or modify your home to support your needs in retirement

  • Consolidate debt and relieve financial pressure

  • Assist children or grandchildren financially

It’s important to understand a reverse mortgage may not be for everyone and there are other funding options that could be more suitable for you.  Your Green Team finance consultant will help you work through your eligibility and suitability for a reverse mortgage.
