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。

至於借款人每個月可以拿到多少錢,就視乎他打算參與計劃多少年、物業的樓齡和價值。

舉例說,如果物業價值300萬元,申請人60歲,打算做十年安老按揭的話,他每個月就可以拿到一萬一千多元。如果打算參與計劃直至百年歸老的話,每個月就會拿到六千元。而兩個人一起參加計劃,就會以較年輕的借款人的歲數去計算。如果想知道更詳細一些,可以到香港按揭證券有限公司的網頁看看,長者社區法網文字版有提供超連結。

有興趣申請安老按揭的老友記,首先要聯絡參與銀行,由銀行向您解釋詳情,初步評估您是否符合申請資格。您之後要約見合資格的安老按揭輔導法律顧問,顧問會講解安老按揭的特點、主要法律權益和責任,以及獲得安老按揭貸款之後,有甚麼法律後果。完成安老按揭輔導的申請人,會獲頒發輔導證書。拿到證書之後,就可以到任何一間參與銀行,正式申請安老按揭。銀行批核了,借款人簽好所有按揭文件,就可以拿到安老按揭貸款。借款人在申請時,要支付利息、按揭保費和輔導費等費用。

香港按揭證券有限公司準備了一份「重要通知」,在申請安老按揭之前,記得要小心看清楚。這份通知可以在長者社區法網文字版下載。這一節就講到這裡。拜拜。
