Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 January 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Equity Release Schemes.


Equity Release Schemes

I echo my hon. Friend's praise for the Which? report, and also praise that by Age Concern. He referred to reversion and roll-up mortgages, and the number of reversion mortgages has declined significantly but roll-up mortgages continue to increase in number. Is he concerned that if a 70-year-old widow sold 30 per cent. of her equity she would have a debt that would wipe out the value of the home at the end of just 20 years? Many women today live to the age of 90 or more.
