The more you have paid down and the more the value has risen, the larger the accumulated equity.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n          <summary>What is a reverse mortgage?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"sh-faq-body\">\n            <p>It is a loan secured by your home, available to homeowners aged 55 and over, that gives access to part of the equity built up in the property. Unlike a conventional mortgage, no monthly principal and interest payment is usually required: interest accrues and the balance is normally repaid when the property is sold or the homeowners leave the home. The amount available, the rates and the conditions vary with age, the property, the region and the lender.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n          <summary>Do I have to sell my home to access my equity?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"sh-faq-body\">\n            <p>Not necessarily. Subject to eligibility, some mortgage solutions allow access to part of the equity while you remain the owner and continue to live in the home. Selling stays an option worth comparing, but it is not the only one.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n          <summary>Do I stay the owner of my home?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"sh-faq-body\">\n            <p>With a reverse mortgage you remain the owner and the title stays in your name. As with any mortgage, your usual obligations continue: property and school taxes, home insurance and upkeep of the property. The exact terms are set out in the lender's contract and are explained to you before anything is signed.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n          <summary>How much could I get?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"sh-faq-body\">\n            <p>No amount can be quoted before a review. It depends on your age, the value and type of property, its location, the existing mortgage balance and the lender's criteria. The review exists precisely to establish what is realistic in your case.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n          <summary>Is a reverse mortgage always the best option?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"sh-faq-body\">\n            <p>No. It is one option among several, with trade-offs: it avoids required monthly payments, but interest accumulates on the balance and reduces the equity left later on. In many files, refinancing, a line of credit or consolidation is the better fit. Comparing them is what settles the question.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n          <summary>Is the review really free?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"sh-faq-body\">\n            <p>Yes. Reviewing your situation and comparing the options is free and carries no obligation. If a specific solution involves costs (lender fees, appraisal, notary, brokerage fees where applicable), they are laid out clearly before you decide anything.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n          <summary>Is my information kept confidential?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"sh-faq-body\">\n            <p>Yes.
