Reverse Mortgages If, as we get older we find that we are asset rich but cash poor, we can borrow against our home for any worthwhile purpose. A home loan that requires no repayments during the loan term can be the answer to improving living standards. Reverse Mortgage facilities can range from 15% of your home value to 45% depending on your age. The interest can also be capitalized (added) to your original loan amount during your loan term.
No Deposit If you want to buy a home and enjoy the feeling of home ownership today, but you haven't saved the standard 3%-5% deposit, there are now a number of options available to you.Your options may now include:
100% Loan – where the Bank lends you 100% of the purchase price
105% Loan - where the Bank lends you 105% to cover the entire purchase price plus most fees
95% non-genuine savings, which may allow the deposit to be borrowed
Split Loans Another option for borrowers is to split their home loan into part fixed rate and part variable and this way they can enjoy the flexibility of the variable portion, together with the security of the fixed portion. An example would be to apply a 3 or 5 year fixed rate to 50% of your loan and leave the balance variable to “hedge your bets” against rises and falls in rates.
Non Conforming You can overcome a poor credit history. Sometimes traditional lenders will lend and there are now lenders who specialise in non conforming loans.A checkered credit history does not prevent you from buying your own home, refinancing or debt consolidation. Initially you may pay a higher interest rate, but it is only a temporary step. Once you have your finances back on track you can then look at refinancing back into a lower interest rate.
