Reverse mortgage - Ouch. Our elderly friends did this and wished they didn't!

While this may be helpful to some. Most will come a cropper. Please get specialist independent legal/mortgage broking advice before you do anything?

How do others members feel about this?

I am reminded by our community conversations this week that this topic has caused a lot of distress to many people who have taken out this type of mortgage, when they were first offered it some twenty years ago in Australia and New Zealand.

In fairness to Heartland, I attach a link for our community to make up your own mind.

Our neighbour’s friend in her 70"s took out a reverse mortgage and then apparently used it to go on holiday. Not sure how that can happen but is now renting and regrets doing it.
