Executive summary
Maisonflex is a pan-European technology and structuring platform for home-equity finance. The platform designs, configures and operates age-segmented equity-release products which are originated, underwritten and serviced by licensed partner institutions in each jurisdiction. The economics are engineered to be securitization-ready from day one.
Product family overview

Customer segments
The same product framework serves three distinct life-stage cohorts. The "parents helping children" use case — releasing a portion of a mortgage-light primary residence to fund a child's first-home deposit — sits squarely in the middle cohort and is one of the platform's highest-conviction structural use cases.
| Cohort | Profile | Primary use cases |
|---|---|---|
| 35–50 | Mortgage-heavy, income-rich | Renovation, EPBD-mandated efficiency works, liquidity bridges |
| 50–65 | Mortgage-light, equity-rich | Funding children's first-home deposit · debt consolidation · business investment |
| 65+ | Equity-rich, cash-poor | Retirement income · long-term care funding · gifting |
Product mechanics
Draw and repayment
HELOC products allow the homeowner to draw against an approved line during a defined draw period, paying interest-only during that period and amortising thereafter. Fixed-draw equity loans pay out in a single tranche and amortise from origination.
Settlement (HEA)
A Home Equity Agreement provides cash today in exchange for a share of the future change in property value. Settlement occurs on sale, refinance, or expiry of the agreement term, capped and floored per jurisdictional consumer-protection rules set by the partner originator.
Eligibility framework
Indicative platform-level eligibility parameters are summarised below. Final eligibility, pricing, and consumer-suitability decisions are made by the licensed partner institution in each jurisdiction and may differ materially.
| Parameter | Indicative range |
|---|---|
| Combined LTV cap | 60 – 85% |
| Minimum property value | €150,000 |
| Property types | Owner-occupied primary residence |
| Geography (Phase 1) | Spain, Netherlands, Belgium |
| Borrower age (HEA / reverse) | 55+ / 65+ |
Risk and consumer protection
All products are distributed by licensed partner institutions and are subject to the consumer-protection, suitability, and disclosure regimes of the relevant jurisdiction. The platform's product-design standards embed conservative LTV caps, transparent settlement mechanics, and standardised cooling-off and independent-advice requirements.
Securitization & capital-markets treatment
The platform produces a securitization-ready loan tape from origination: standardised eligibility tags, loan-level data, and performance reporting. Pool composition supports senior/mezzanine tranching, with first-loss retention by the structuring vehicle to align incentives with capital-markets investors.
