Maintaining Your Equity

For the purpose of illustration, the following table and graph show how a sixty year old who takes the maximum allowable equity release (15%) as a lump sum ($60,000) on a $400,000 home, builds equity under the following conservative circumstances:

Annual property value increase: 4% (Between 1984 and 2004 the average annual increase in property values has been approximately 8% - source ABS)

Interest Rate: 9.35% (Our current Fixed For Life rate at time of publication)
