Do you do reverse mortgages? My son is wanting to do major repairs to his home and has asked if my husband and I could get a reverse mortgage. We currently owe $21,000.00 on our home which is valued at about $750,000. We would be needing a reverse mortgage for $100,000.00.

Hi Lesley,
Thanks for your comment and I hope you are doing well.
Newcastle doesn’t offer reverse mortgages at this time. You may instead refer to our list of reverse mortgages. You will find a table that compares the features and benefits of each home loan provider such as max loan rate, interest and etc. This way it will be easier for you to see which provider fits you best. You can also click the compare box beside each loan option and compare up to 4 options side by side for easier comparison. We recommend that you seek financial advice and evaluate all of your options to ensure that you make a decision that’s right for your own individual circumstances. Remember, it is important to read the information provided by the lenders such as their terms of use, privacy policy, and disclosures before making any decisions.
It is also a good idea to speak to a mortgage broker to get professional, personalized advice. Mortgage brokers are professionals who sort through hundreds of loans in the market so borrowers don’t have to. A mortgage broker’s service is usually free because they earn a commission from the lender. A good mortgage broker can make life easier and they can help borrowers in difficult circumstances to find a home loan that matches their situation.
Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.
Cheers,
Nikki

Hi Josephine,
Thanks for your question.
These types of applications are usually handled on a case by case basis. Newcastle Permanent will have a look at how much you receive from DSP pension and how permanent the payment is. I’d recommend that you get in touch with them directly to discuss your options and eligibility.

Hi Tamar,
Thanks for the question.
You may refer to our guide on refinancing home loan to learn more about your options and decide on a good home loan.
I also recommend getting in touch with a licensed mortgage broker. A broker can help you understand your financial position and they can leverage their panel of networks to find a lender that is more inclined to review your application.
I hope this helps,
Marc

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
