Homesafe Equity Release and Owners' Corporations

An older friend was proceeding with an arrangement with Bendigo Bank for them to pay him for a % share in his home (Homesafe Equity Release) but when they found that his home had an owners' corporation they pulled out. Does anybody here know how to get around that or know of any other "lenders" who are not bothered by owners' corporations?

  • Just sounds like another name for a Reverse Mortgage.

  • No, it's quite different to a reverse mortgage. With this one, they pay you now to buy a % share in your property. When it is eventually sold, they get that % of the sale price.
    A reverse mortgage is really just a personal loan with compounding interest which will one day be paid out out of the proceeds of the property's sale.
