Do You Have Retirees Looking To Access Home Equity?

March 22, 2019

Many Australian retirees are in need of additional retirement funding and require flexible access to their home equity.  Recently, however, major lenders in Australia have withdrawn from traditional reverse mortgage lending. We are very pleased to advise that we can now provide you access to a new provider, Household Capital, who is approaching this market differently.

We’ve established an exclusive agreement for our referral partners to gain access to a solution that offers access to home equity at the lowest available rate in Australia. Household Capital will not be providing access to this product via mortgage broking channels in Australia and have selected Nexus Partners due to our strong relationship across more than 1500 professional advisers.

A Household Loan can be made available to retirees to enhance retirement funding for specific purposes being:

  1. Retirement income – top up income for clients on pension or with minimal super.
  2. Home Renovation – clients can renovate to ensure the ongoing suitability of the family home throughout retirement to improve lifestyle and wellbeing.
  3. Aged care – clients can use home equity to fund in-home care or a transition to an aged care facility, including the funding of Refundable Accommodation Deposits.
  4. Funding intergenerational transfer – clients can give to their loved ones when they need it most; for example, when buying their first home or for educational expenses.
