Enjoy The Life You Deserve

It's our mission to help you Live Well At Home. Research shows that retirees live longer and happier lives when they’re able to stay at home; however, the suitability of the home for retirement is important. Is your home comfortable, safe and secure? Will it remain so for the next five, ten or twenty years?

To retire comfortably at home, you may need to make some minor modifications. These may be to make it easier for you to get around or be safer in wet areas such as bathrooms. It might be new guttering with a mesh insert, so there’s no need to climb ladders for regular cleaning. It might be that long dreamed of kitchen renovation!

It's As Easy As 1, 2, 3!

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a Household Loan transform my retirement lifestyle?

There are many ways in which a Household Loan could improve your retirement lifestyle. As well as making your home retirement ready, you may need capital to purchase a new car or cover significant medical costs. Some customers like the peace of mind that comes from having a contingency fund for those unexpected expenses that arise from time to time. Such expenditure can impact your retirement funding. Despite diligently saving for retirement, not everyone has a contingency fund to draw upon and pension income – whether from superannuation, the Age Pension, or both – seldom covers larger expenses. Drawing on your home equity - your Household CapitalTM- via a Household Loan can help you look forward with confidence and enjoy the retirement lifestyle you deserve.

Can I use a Household Loan to renovate my home?

It’s important that your home is as safe and comfortable as possible for your retirement years - and you can use a Household Loan to make appropriate renovations or modifications. That might mean installing a stairlift, handrails or a ramp for safety. It might mean a new kitchen, bathroom, or landscaping to make your garden less labour intensive. You can also hire a handyman to do those odd jobs, so there’s no risk of injury trying to DIY. You can access your Household Loan as a lump sum, which you can then use to make the necessary renovations to make your home retirement ready.
