Frequently Asked Questions
Inviva's home equity release loans are reverse mortgages that allows you to free up part of the value of your property without having to sell the property until you're ready. With an Inviva loan, you aren’t required to make any repayments of principal or interest until the end of the loan. Instead, interest capitalises so the loan balance increases over time, unless you choose to make voluntary repayments.
Inviva's Home Equity Release Loan is an evergreen mortgage which means it typically does not have a fixed loan term. The loan balance is generally repayable in full when the last remaining borrower permanently leaves the property, or the property is sold. If the security property is your residential home, then you’re required to occupy the property.
Inviva's Investment Property Equity Release Loan generally includes a term and does not include this occupancy condition.
All of Inviva's home equity release loans have flexible drawdown options: you can access the loan funds as an initial lump sum, a regular monthly income payment, a line of credit, or a combination of these options. You will only be charged interest on the amounts that you draw down.
With an Inviva loan, you’ll have the option to make repayments at any time. If you do make repayments, then you’ll generally be able to re-drawdown those funds again at a later stage, should you choose to.
You can use the loan for a variety of purposes - to fund the trip of a lifetime, buy a new car, renovate your home, supplement your retirement income, consolidate debt, help your kids or grandkids, and more.
Inviva offers loans from $50,000 up to $3,000,000 (more by consultation) for borrowers aged 55 years or over.
The maximum Loan-To-Value Ratio (LVR) depends on your age and the value of your property. A 55-year-old can generally borrow up to a maximum LVR of 15% (i.e., up to 15% of their property’s value). The maximum LVR then increases by 1% for each additional year of age. For example, a 73-year-old may be able to borrow up to a maximum of 33% of their property’s value.
As part of the application process, we’ll discuss with you if there are other circumstances that may impact the amount you can borrow or any other conditions.

This could include funding the trip of a lifetime, buying a new car, renovating your home, supplementing your retirement income, consolidating debt, helping your kids or grandkids, and more.
You can choose to access the funds as:
- an upfront lump sum if you want the money now
- a line of credit if you want access to cash as and when you need it
- a regular income payment option if you are looking to boost your retirement cashflow, or
- a combination of any of the above options so you can live your retirement your way.
Yes. The Investment Property Equity Release Loan lets you unlock part of the value tied up in your investment property without needing to sell. You continue to own the property and can benefit from any future capital growth and/or rental income. An Inviva loan gives you more financial flexibility while holding onto your investment property.
At the end of the loan term, the balance will need to be repaid. This can be done by selling the property, repaying from other available funds, or potentially refinancing into another facility. Our team ensures a repayment strategy is clearly discussed upfront so there are no surprises later.
Our current interest rate is 8.95% (comparison rate 8.98%*).
Inviva's Home Equity Release Loan and Investment Property Equity Release Loan have an upfront loan establishment fee of $995** to arrange settlement of the loan and include an online valuation and documentation. If a full in person valuation is requested by you or required by us, this will be passed on at cost. As part of the application process, we will let you know in advance if a full in person valuation is needed, and you may be required to pay for this separately in advance. The loan establishment fee is deducted from the loan amount at settlement along with any government charges that apply.
There is no ongoing monthly fee, however there is a discharge administration fee of $450 payable on discharge of any security interest either during or at the conclusion of the loan.
