A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
A few things you may want to ask.
What does “property activation” mean here?
It means organising your property and mortgage position before considering options for repayments, funding or retirement. Arrangements depend on individual circumstances and institutional assessment. It does not mean guaranteed returns or borrowing without costs.
What should I prepare for an initial review?
Your property district, estimated value range, outstanding loan range, remaining term and main goal. Identity documents, a full address and bank statements are not needed for the first enquiry.
Does a review mean lender approval?
An initial review helps organise information and questions. Formal valuations, approval, interest rates and terms are determined by the relevant lender or institution.
Which costs should I compare?
Depending on the arrangement, consider interest, valuation, legal, early repayment and other costs. Reverse mortgages also involve insurance premiums and counselling costs. Obtain written fee information and ask about referral remuneration before proceeding.
Are savings or income guaranteed?
Outcomes depend on property, income, debts, rates, fees and approval conditions. Savings, returns and approval are not guaranteed. Any investment or insurance component requires its own assessment of risks and obligations.
