HomeFlex vs Traditional Loan Options

 

Choosing how to use your home equity can feel confusing. Each option -

refinancing, a HELOC, a second mortgage, or a secured loan, works differently.

Expand the sections below to see how HomeFlex compares. 

 

Homeflex Logo-1-1 vs Refinance

+

Refinancing your mortgage is one way to access more money from your home. But it usually means taking on a new loan with interest, fees, and monthly repayments that can add up over time. 

With HomeFlex: 

  • Access your equity with no monthly repayments 
  • No interest charges 
  • Keep full control of your home 
  • Repay when you sell or refinance 

Homeflex Logo-1-1 vs HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit)

+

HELOCs sound flexible, but they’re still loans. You’ll face interest rates, monthly repayments, and lender conditions tied to income and credit. 

With HomeFlex: 

  • No interest charges 
  • No monthly repayments 
  • Simple, transparent terms 
  • Repay when you sell or refinance

Homeflex Logo-1-1 vs Second Mortgage

+

A second mortgage lets you unlock equity, but it doubles the debt burden. More paperwork, more risk, and higher repayments. 

With HomeFlex: 

  • Access your equity with no monthly repayments 
  • No interest charges 
  • Keep full control of your home 
  • Repay when you sell or refinance 

Homeflex Logo-1-1 vs Secured Loans

+

A secured loan (like a personal loan, car loan, or secured car finance) ties new debt to your assets. That means monthly repayments, interest costs, and the risk of losing what you’ve worked for if you fall behind. 

With HomeFlex: 

  • No interest charges 
  • No monthly loan repayments 
  • Use equity for a car, renovations, or expenses without compounding debt 
  • Repay when you sell or refinance

Calculator details

This calculator is provided for illustrative purposes only. The actual outcome will vary depending on unknown variables such as property values, loan terms, interest rates and approved loan sizes etc.

1 - This is based on your estimate of your future home value. For customers with a funding need <3 years, please contact LongView on 1800 931 784 to discuss your financial needs.

2 - If you do not specify your remaining loan term or interest rate under additional questions, the calculator will assume a 25-year loan term and 6.5% p.a. interest rate on your first mortgage and will amortise the mortgage balance accordingly. Any amortisation does not consider the effect of additional repayments, balances in offset accounts or fluctuating interest rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is equity on property?

+
Equity on property is your home’s current market value minus your outstanding mortgage balance. It represents the portion of your property you fully own. HomeFlex taps into that equity by providing you funds now in exchange for a share of future property growth, this is not a traditional loan, there are no new monthly repayments, and you remain solely on title.

How much house equity do I have?

+
Enter your home’s current valuation and outstanding mortgage into our sliders to see your HomeFlex access estimate - based on the equity on property figure - instantly. This shows exactly how much equity in your home you could access with HomeFlex. We recommend comparing your result side-by-side with your other options, including the official Centrelink Home Equity Access Scheme calculator (if you’re eligible) for a full picture of your options.

How is house equity calculated?

+
House equity is simply your home’s market valuation minus your outstanding loan balance. For example, an $800,000 valuation less a $300,000 mortgage leaves $500 000 in equity. Our simple equity calculator uses these numbers to estimate how much you can unlock with HomeFlex - providing you immediate insight into your unlock range by tapping that equity in exchange for a share of future growth.

Can HomeFlex help me avoid refinancing my mortgage?

+
Yes, HomeFlex allows you to access the equity in your home without refinancing, taking on a new loan, or increasing your monthly repayments.

Will using HomeFlex add more financial pressure to my situation?

+
No, there are no monthly repayments, no interest, and no need to refinance your mortgage. HomeFlex is designed to relieve financial pressure.

Can I use HomeFlex to catch up on missed mortgage payments?

+
Yes, you can use the funds unlocked through HomeFlex to cover mortgage arrears or ongoing repayments, giving you more breathing room.

Can I use HomeFlex to catch up on missed mortgage payments or pay down debts?

+
Yes, this is one of the many acceptable loan purposes. However, if the funding is provided to relieve financial hardship or consolidate debts, part or all of the funds may be required to pay down existing debts to ensure long-term financial stability.

When do I repay HomeFlex?

+
You repay when you sell your home, refinance your mortgage, or choose to buy out HomeFlex’s share - with no monthly repayments in the meantime.

Who is eligible for HomeFlex?

+
You may be eligible if you own and live in an established home (not a high-rise apartment, new townhouse, or house-and-land package) located in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, or the Gold Coast, (and surrounding regional areas) and have built up sufficient equity.

How does HomeFlex make money?

+
HomeFlex provides funds now in exchange for a share (typically one-third) of your home’s future capital growth. We don’t make our money through interest or monthly repayments.
