What is a Unison Equity Sharing Home Loan?

The equity sharing home loan is a 10-year interest-only home loan with a shared appreciation component. You get to enjoy lower monthly payments thanks to both the loan’s partially deferred interest, as well as Unison’s share of the future appreciation of your home.

Unison share in the home's future appreciation is fixed at the beginning of the agreement, and the amount is proportional to the amount of your Equity Sharing Home Loan. Unison's share is typically 1.5x the percentage you borrow. For example, if you borrow 10% of your home’s current value, Unison will receive 15% of the future appreciation. Note that unlike Unison's Equity Sharing Agreement, Unison only participates in any appreciation in your home's value.
The total interest payable under the Loan, including ongoing interest, deferred interest, and shared appreciation interest, if any, will not exceed a predetermined percentage that is set in the agreement (at or below state interest rate limits).
