FAQ
What amount can I get?
The amount to be received results from:
- The sale value (for example 350.000 euros).
- The life expectancy forecast (for example 10 years), or the period during which you tell us that you want to dispose of the house if it is less.
- The value of the lease for said life expectancy (for example, 120.000 euros at a rate of 1.000 euros per month).
On the day of signing, 230.000 euros would be received, corresponding to the difference between the purchase price (350.000 euros) and the estimated rent (120.000 euros).
If you do not stay in the house for the estimated time, you will be entitled to receive an additional amount, corresponding to the portion of the rent not consumed.
What happens if I occupy the house for less time than estimated?
That part of the rent not consumed will be paid to you immediately.
It is common for life circumstances to vary. Thus, the reverse home is shown to be the most flexible product on the market, since in the event of leaving the house before the estimated term or in the event of death earlier than expected, you or your heirs will receive the unconsumed portion of the lease.
Following the previous example, if after 3 years (36 months) the seller/tenant wants to leave the house to go live with a child, they would be entitled to receive an additional amount of 84.000 euros, since 36.000 euros would have been consumed, corresponding 36 monthly installments of 1.000 euros each, out of a total estimated lease of 120.000 euros (120.000 – 36.000 = 84.000).
What if I exceed the expected life expectancy? Will I be able to stay in the house? Will I have to pay rent?
You will be able to stay in the house as long as you wish, and the only cost you will assume will be the equivalent of the maintenance costs of the property (such as community or supplies).
What happens to the spouse in case of death?
The reverse dwelling covers both spouses, so that in the event of the death of one of them, the other will continue to occupy the dwelling under the same conditions as the deceased spouse.
Is it a safe product? What guarantees does reverse housing offer?
It is a completely secure transaction.
The lease contract can be registered in the Property Registry and is renewable at the will of the seller/lessee.
And what is more important, compliance by the seller/lessee is assured, since they have implicitly left the lease "paid" on the first day,
Can I receive the money in the form of a life annuity?
That's right, of the money to be received (following the example of 230.000 euros), you can choose what part of it you want to receive on the first day in the form of capital, and what part in the form of a life annuity.
For which there is the option of contracting a life annuity with survival insurance so that you receive an income for life.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you are completely free to contract another life annuity product.
