Lifetime bzw. Reverse Mortgages sind Kreditprodukte, die in Deutschland bislang am Markt nicht verfügbar sind. Ältere Wohneigentümer erhalten durch die Beleihung ihres Eigenheims frische Liquidität, ohne über die gesamte Laufzeit Zins- und Tilgungsleistungen erbringen zu müssen. Als Eigentümer der Immobilie behält der Kunde das lebenslange Wohnrecht. Der gesamte Kreditbetrag inkl. sämtlicher Zinsen wird erst fällig, wenn der Kreditnehmer verstorben ist.
