    Reverse mortgages in Israel – extra information

    In October 2022, the Bank of Israel introduced some measures to regulate reverse mortgages.

    Whilst not that common in Israel, reverse mortgages have become a way for parents to provide their children with equity to buy a home.

    In Israel’s real estate market it can be very common for children to need such help to get on the property ladder.

    Under the rules laid out in a draft circular from the Bank of Israel, a reverse mortgage loan is allowed in Israel, when up to 50% of the value of the mortgaged asset.

    This includes a forecast financing percentage of not more than 60%.

    Bank of Israel regulates reverse mortgages

    For many years, only Bank Mizrahi Tefahot offered reverse mortgages. Since 2021 a number of insurance companies have also offered reverse mortgages too.

    In February 2023, the Bank of Israel once again confirmed that they were regulating the matter of reverse mortgages at banks.

    The Bank of Israel confirmed that they are working to regulate reverse mortgages, partly because many insurance companies offer them in Israel.

    They did though confirm that their main aim was to “regulate them in order to expand the financing possibilities open to senior citizens.”
