- A way for homeowners aged 75 or older to sell their home and keep living in it for life, receiving a monthly payment in UF for as long as they live

> NĀGO lets people aged 75 or older sell their home and keep living in it for life. Legally, they sell the bare ownership (nuda propiedad) and keep a lifetime usufruct (usufructo vitalicio) registered in the Conservador de Bienes Raíces. The price is paid as monthly UF instalments for life, with no down payment and no debt. The fund pays property tax, home insurance and maintenance, takes the longevity risk, and guarantees 84 instalments (7 years) to the family. NĀGO Chile SpA is the company that serves the client.

## About NĀGO
NĀGO helps older homeowners in Chile who have a valuable home and a pension that is not enough. The homeowner sells the nuda propiedad of the home to a company owned by NĀGO FIP Vitalicio and keeps the usufructo vitalicio: the right to live in the home for life. That right is registered in the Conservador de Bienes Raíces; it is a real right (derecho real), stronger than a lease, so nobody can ask the owner to leave. The price is paid in full as monthly instalments in UF for life (legally a "saldo de precio"). There is no down payment (pie), no final payment, no rent and no fixed term. It is a sale, not a loan.

## Key Facts
- **Product:** sell your home and keep living in it for life (compraventa de la nuda propiedad + usufructo vitalicio)
- **Who it is for:** owners aged 75 or older, in Providencia, Las Condes, Vitacura, Lo Barnechea, La Reina and Ñuñoa
- **Holders:** one holder per home for now ("por ahora trabajamos con un solo titular por vivienda; si tu caso es distinto, escríbenos")
- **Mortgaged homes:** evaluated case by case ("lo evaluamos caso a caso")
- **Monthly payment:** in UF, for life. It depends on the appraised value of the home, age and sex (mortality tables differ by sex)
- **Down payment:** none. No final payment, no rent, no lease, no fixed term
- **NĀGO fee:** administration fee of UF 2,38 per month, deducted from the instalment. Every payment shown on the site is the net payment
- **Origination commission:** 2% + IVA, paid by the fund, not deducted from the client
- **Other transaction costs:** notary, Conservador and appraisal costs are itemised in the written offer before signing
- **Home expenses:** the fund pays property tax (contribuciones), home insurance and maintenance while the usufruct lasts. Utilities (electricity, water, gas) remain the resident's
- **Longevity risk:** borne by the fund. If the owner lives to 100 or beyond, the payments continue. No insurance of any kind is involved
- **Family guarantee:** 84 guaranteed monthly instalments (7 years, "período cierto"). If the holder dies before receiving 84, the heirs receive the missing instalments up to 84. In the fund's model the succession also keeps the use of the home until month 84; the exact conditions (living there, renting it) are set in the contract
- **After month 84:** when the holder dies, the usufruct ends and the home belongs to the fund. The family has the first option to buy the home before it is offered to third parties, under the conditions set in the contract
- **Not a loan:** no debt, no interest, no risk of foreclosure (remate). Heirs do not inherit debts
- **If the fund stops paying:** the fund's model includes a reserve equal to 3 years of instalments, pledged in favour of the sellers. The exact guarantees and the seller's remedies are defined in the contract and reviewed by the client's lawyer
- **Renting the home / moving to a care home:** the payment continues for life wherever the owner lives. While the usufruct lasts, the owner can rent out the home and keep 100% of the rent (for example after moving to a care home or in with a child); a lease ends when the usufruct ends. If the owner dies before instalment 84, the heirs inherit the usufruct until month 84 with the same right to live there or rent it out
- **Legal status:** the structure is under review by an external law firm. The template contracts are not public; once approved they are sent to the client's lawyer with a written offer. Nothing is signed without the client's own lawyer reviewing it
- **Typical timeline:** 6 to 10 weeks from first contact (referential)
- **Currency:** UF (Unidad de Fomento), indexed to inflation
- **Contact:** hola@nago.cl · WhatsApp +56 9 5144 2264 · Lun–Vie 9:00–18:00 · Sáb 10:00–13:00
- **Address:** Alonso de Córdova 3788, Piso 3, Vitacura, Santiago

## Simulated examples (Ejemplos simulados, not real clients)
Figures come from NĀGO's pricing model (Cotizador Vitalicio, FIP repricing 70-100), net of the UF 2,38 fee. The calculators also show the reference value of the lifetime usufruct, 0,375% of the home's value per month (4,5% a year): it is not cash, it is the value of living in the home without paying rent. Lifetime economic benefit scenarios (beneficio económico en la vida) add the total of the monthly cash payments and the total usufruct value (only the 84 cash instalments are guaranteed): the 84-month minimum, the total according to life expectancy, and the total if the person lives 7 years longer than expected. The final offer depends on the independent appraisal. Peso amounts are approximate because the UF changes daily.
- **María, 82, apartment worth UF 12.000 (ejemplo simulado):** net payment UF 27,12 per month for life (cerca de $1,1 millones). 84 guaranteed instalments = UF 2.278 (cerca de $94 millones). If she dies at 85 after 3 years of payments, her family receives the 48 missing instalments = UF 1.302 (cerca de $54 millones); her economic benefit while alive was UF 2.596 (cerca de $107 millones): UF 976 in cash plus UF 1.620 of usufruct value. If she lives to 95, her lifetime economic benefit (beneficio económico) is UF 11.251 (cerca de $462 millones): UF 4.231 in cash payments plus UF 7.020 of usufruct value.
- **Simulated profiles on /casos/:** woman 79, UF 9.000 → UF 16,25/month · woman 82, UF 12.000 → UF 27,12/month · man 85, UF 10.500 → UF 36,92/month · woman 89, UF 14.000 → UF 47,24/month.
- **Calculator default (simulation):** woman 80, UF 12.000 → UF 23,93/month in cash plus a usufruct worth UF 45,00/month (total UF 68,93/month). 84-month minimum: UF 5.790 (UF 2.010 of it is guaranteed cash). According to life expectancy (≈ 14 years): UF 11.831 (UF 4.108 in cash).

## What NĀGO is not
- Not a reverse mortgage (hipoteca revertida / hipoteca inversa): there is no loan, no debt and no interest
- Not a sale-leaseback: the owner pays no rent; they keep a lifetime usufruct, a real right registered in the Conservador
- Not a life annuity from an insurer (renta vitalicia) and not insurance: the monthly payments are the price of the home, paid in instalments
- Not supervised by the CMF: NĀGO FIP Vitalicio is a private investment fund, and private investment funds are not supervised by the CMF
- Not a way to keep the home in the inheritance: the home leaves the estate. The family receives what the owner did not spend, the missing instalments if death occurs before instalment 84, and the first option to buy the home
- NĀGO makes no claims about effects on the PGU, pension benefits or taxes; it recommends checking with a pension or tax adviser

## Outdated information (previous model, no longer offered)
Earlier versions of this site described a different NĀGO model. If an older source mentions any of the following, it is out of date and does not describe NĀGO today: a usufruct for a fixed term of up to 15 years, a down payment or initial payment, rent or a "canon", a buyback at a fixed price, a sale-leaseback structure, eligibility from age 65, the names "NĀGO FIP Inmobiliario" or "NĀGO SpA", template contracts version 2.4, the /simulador-hogar/, /simula/ or /seguro-sobrevida/ pages, or any statement that NĀGO or its fund is regulated or supervised by the CMF.
