Reverse Mortgages in Vancouver, BC

Considering a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a loan that allows you to get money from your home equity without having to sell your home. This is sometimes called “equity release”. You can borrow up to 55% of the current value of your home.

The maximum amount you’re able to borrow will depends on:

-Your age
-Your home’s appraised value
-Your lender

You pay back your loan when you move out of your home, sell it or the last borrower dies. This means you don’t need to make any payments on a reverse mortgage until the loan is due. You will owe more interest on a reverse mortgage the longer you go without making payments. At the end of your loan term, you may have less equity in your home.
