Reverse Mortgages NSW: Loan Scenario of the Week
Mr W (75) lives by himself in a town house in Leichardt. He has a current Reverse Mortgages facility of $280,000, this was taken out 6 years ago and he has now used his maximum facility. As he is older and his property has increased in value since the last Reverse Mortgage, he can now borrow $410,000.
