安老按揭是政府特別為長者而設的貸款安排,在2011年推出。這一節《長者法網智多聲》,就為大家介紹這個計劃。
參加安老按揭的借款人,可以利用在香港的自住物業,作為抵押品,向參與銀行申請安老按揭貸款。借款人可以在固定年期內,每月拿到一筆錢,年期可以是10年、15年、20年、以至百年歸老。遇到特別情況,也可以拿一筆過貸款。借款人仍然是物業的業主,可以繼續住在那裡,直至百年歸老。
除非借款人永遠搬離那個物業,或有其他原因令安老按揭終止,否則借款人可以終身不用還錢。而借款人的繼承人,如果想贖回物業,可以在借款人百年歸老之後,選擇在一定期限之內,歸還按揭。
一般來說,年滿55歲、持有有效香港身份證、沒有破產、沒有涉及破產呈請或債務重組的人,都可以申請安老按揭。而用作抵押的物業,必須要由借款人以個人名義持有,或與另外最多兩人聯名持有,而借款人是在物業內居住。物業的樓齡不可以超過50年,沒有放租、並且沒有任何轉售限制。如果老友記的物業是未補地價的自置公屋或居屋,老友記必須年滿60歲或以上才可以申請安老按揭。
