Unistats is the official site to search for, and compare, data and information on university and college courses from across the UK. The site draws together comparable information on those areas that students have identified as important in making decisions about what and where to study.
The items that students thought were most useful have been included in a Key Information Set (KIS). This is published on the 'Overview' tab for each course and also embedded in the course pages of institutional web-sites.
The site draws on the following official data about higher education courses:
The data is provided by the Higher Education Statistics Agency, HESA, the Data Service, universities and colleges and Ipsos MORI (National Student Survey).
The Key Information Sets (KIS) provide comparable sets of information about full or part-time undergraduate courses. They contain the items of information that prospective students have identified as most important to inform their decisions.
The information is published on Unistats.All institutions also make this information available via a small snippet of content or 'widget' through the course pages on their web-sites.
This is the first time this kind of data has been brought together in this way, providing information to students in a format that is useful to them, in the places they want to find it.
More information on the KIS research and development
The only exceptions are short courses (one year full-time equivalent or less), postgraduate courses, those delivered wholly overseas, and closed courses.
A toolkit of materials is available for teachers, careers advisers, and anyone involved in supporting prospective university students to decide what and where to study.
This contains information and communications resources to help raise awareness of the new Unistats web-site and the KIS.
Anyone who wants to access the site's data can do so in one of two ways:
Much of the KIS information already exists in a national and comparable form, but there are several items of information that do not currently exist in that form and are being supplied by universities and colleges (highlighted in the table below).

To allow prospective students to discover the KIS in context, universities and colleges embed a small advert or 'widget' into their course web pages.
This highlights key information about that course and provides a direct link to the full list of key information on the Unistats web-site.
This is a graphic illustrating the widget.
The widget displays up to ten areas of information on a 'rolling' basis. This covers:
We working with the other UK funding bodies, UUK, GuildHE and the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) to deliver the KIS.
We receive guidance from the Higher Education Public Information Steering Group (HEPISG) and their Sub-Group.
Download the Higher Education Public Information Steering Group (HEPISG) Sub-Group as PDF (16 KB) | Download the Higher Education Public Information Steering Group (HEPISG) Sub-Group as MS Word (57 KB)
The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) will consider the quality of the information as part of its broader commitment to ensure universities and colleges provide information for their intended audiences.
The QAA has set out the standards of academic quality it expects universities and colleges to deliver in the UK Quality Code. Part C of this code covers providing information about higher education programmes.
The QAA will review the quality of information in the KIS as part of its process of institutional review.
An early evaluation will seek to determine the practical success of the Unistats/KIS in its early stages. It will cover three distinct strands:
In the coming months, we will work with our UK funding partners and HEPISG members and observers to develop plans for a major review of the provision of information about HE.
This will include the ten-year review of the NSS, including an analysis of the results over the period. Using the student-lifecycle framework, the review is likely to comprise multiple strands, of which a review of Unistats and the KIS will form part.
We will also work with HESA to ensure that appropriate consideration is given to the Destination of Leavers from Higher Education within the review.
The aim will be to ensure that:
It will also provide an opportunity for reflection on the cost to the public purse, and the role of market providers in providing independent, contextualised and robust comparable information.
The intention is also, where possible, to provide a framework which is consistent across the UK.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Thomas Schippers (9 March 1930 – 16 December 1977) was an American conductor. He was highly regarded for his work in opera.
Of Dutch ancestry and son of the owner of a large appliance store, Schippers was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan.[1] He began playing piano at age four. After graduating from high school at age 13, he attended the Curtis Institute and the Juilliard School.
Schippers made his debut at the New York City Opera at age twenty-one, and the Metropolitan Opera at twenty-three. He conducted world premieres of now well known music by Gian Carlo Menotti and Samuel Barber. He conducted child actor Chet Allen in a theatrical version of Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors. Schippers conducted in all the major opera houses of the United States and Europe, most notably the Metropolitan Opera and La Scala, and founded Italy's Spoleto festival with Menotti and once described his perfect orchestra as being composed of "One-third Italian musicians for their line, one-third Jewish for their sound, a sprinkling of Germans for solidity."[1]
Schippers was a regular conductor with the New York Philharmonic and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and made recordings with them as well, but in 1970 he finally took a full-time orchestral position with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, succeeding his predecessor at the Metropolitan Opera, Max Rudolf. After making several recordings with them and building the orchestra's international reputation, his career was cut short by his death from lung cancer at forty-seven in 1977 in New York City, New York.
During the 1970s, he was appointed principal conductor of l'Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia but he made only one concert with the orchestra (in May 1976, Ravel, Ma Mère l'Oyé i. a.). He made many opera recordings in his time, and live recordings of his performances are gradually being made available on CD. His studio recording of Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donizetti with Beverly Sills and Carlo Bergonzi was the first recording in which the glass harmonica was used in the mad scene.
He was a National Patron of Delta Omicron, an international professional music fraternity.[2]
Although gay, Schippers married, in 1965, Elaine Lane "Nonie" Phipps (1939–1973).[3][4][5] An heiress to the Grace shipping fortune and a daughter of the noted American polo player Michael Grace Phipps, she died of cancer in 1973.[6] Schippers died of the same disease four years later.
According to the professor, writer, and opera scholar John Louis DiGaetani, Schippers had a lengthy romantic relationship with the composer Gian Carlo Menotti, in addition to a shorter romantic relationship with mathematician Sean Clarke.[7] A biography of Leonard Bernstein states that Schippers and Bernstein also were intimately involved.[8]

There is no perfect grass for grazing or hay production. But knowing the pros and cons of the various species can help producers select the one that most closely meets their needs, says a University of Missouri Extension agronomist.
Here's Travis Harper's evaluation of the major cool-season grasses:
Tall fescue is the most widely grown cool-season forage grass in Missouri, primarily due to its hardiness and adaptability, says Harper. It can grow on almost any type of soil, and a well-established stand can survive through the coldest winters, hottest summers and all but the heaviest of grazing. It's also the best choice to stockpile for winter grazing.
"The biggest drawback to fescue is that it contains an endophyte that produces compounds that can be toxic to cattle and grazing animals," says Harper. The endophyte's effects can be lessened with animal genetics or proper grass management.
"An alternative would be to use endophyte-free or novel-endophyte fescues, but these varieties typically are not as persistent as regular fescue and can be much more expensive to establish."
The forage quality of smooth bromegrass is typically much higher than that of tall fescue and orchardgrass, and it has very good drought tolerance, says Harper. Brome makes excellent-quality hay but producers are typically limited to one cutting, as brome does not recover well. It's also a high-quality forage for grazing, especially in rotational systems, but the majority of production occurs before June 15, leaving little for cattle to eat during summer and fall. Brome also requires nitrogen fertilizer to avoid becoming sod-bound.
"Orchardgrass (pictured) is nearly as adaptable to a wide variety of soils as is tall fescue, with the added benefit that animal performance is typically greater on orchardgrass than on tall fescue," he says.
Orchardgrass can grow in pure stands, but because it's a bunchgrass it works very well growing with legumes such as alfalfa, clover or lespedeza. It's susceptible to a variety of diseases, but disease-resistant varieties are available. The biggest drawback to orchardgrass is that it's not nearly as drought-resistant or winterhardy as tall fescue or brome.
Timothy is a late-maturing, cool-season perennial bunchgrass that provides cattle with high-quality forage later in the season than orchardgrass or tall fescue.
"Timothy is extremely winter-hardy and is considered one of the few cool-season grasses suitable for wildlife habitat," says Harper.
The biggest problem with timothy is that it doesn't persist well under drought conditions. Timothy has long been thought of as the premier hay for horses, but it's not necessary to feed horses timothy hay because there are many suitable alternatives, he says.

"We don't have a problem with our funding sources," insists Manuel Laureano-Vega, who cofounded the league in 1988 and has served as its executive director ever since. "We have a cash-flow problem because we don't have adequate support from the community." Laureano-Vega also complains of a Catch-22 situation involving the "rigid" reimbursement policies of his government benefactors. "Yeah, we owe [$13,000 in] payroll taxes," he acknowledges. "Metro-Dade is telling me they're not giving me [a $100,000 grant] because we haven't paid our taxes. But we can't pay the taxes because they're delinquent in reimbursing us." Meanwhile, Laureano-Vega adds, the organization, whose annual operating budget is about $900,000, will be forced to close down one of its two offices.
Last year Metro-Dade allocated more than $18 million in federal funds to about 40 local nonprofit agencies that provide care and counseling for AIDS patients. The League Against AIDS was promised nearly $260,000, payable in reimbursement for expenditures. Subsequently, the group was slated to receive an additional $100,000, an unspent block of funds the county must allocate by April 3 or forfeit to the federal government.
Daniel T. Wall, who oversees the distribution of federal AIDS funds for Metro's Audit and Management Services Department, confirms that the county withholds reimbursement until a nonprofit agency produces proof of how the funds were spent. But Wall says the $100,000 has nothing to do with delinquent payroll taxes. Those funds were denied earlier this month, Wall explains, after two former clients of the league lodged complaints against the organization. Because the unspent money had to be allocated by April 3, there wasn't enough time to investigate the allegations, and the county decided to give the money to other local providers instead.
According to Wall, the two former League Against AIDS clients alleged that their names and patient ID numbers were used to secure transportation for other clients who weren't eligible for that service; that client information was falsified to allow personal (as opposed to medically related) use of transportation services; and that the league refused to supply services the clients needed. Apart from those complaints, the county noted that the organization hadn't submitted its annual audit or a list of its grievance policies, and that its payroll taxes were delinquent.
"It's crap," Elaine Abreu, the newly appointed chairwoman of the league's board of directors, says of the clients' allegations. A private investigator, Abreu was asked by Laureano-Vega to check out the charges. She contends that the group's accusers have mental problems, that they refused to speak to her, and that other people contradict their statements.
Daniel Wall says he's still waiting for the league to present documentation disproving the allegations. He adds that subject to approval by the Metro Commission, the group still might be awarded about $85,000 over the next four months, "if they alleviate all our concerns."
A three-year contract with HRS that netted the league approximately $100,000 annually expired January 31, and the organization's proposal for continued funding in 1995 was denied. According to HRS spokesman Tony Welch, the proposal was nixed because the League Against AIDS ranked too low on the list of applicants for the money. But HRS, which administers funds for AIDS education and prevention under the federal Minority AIDS Prevention Initiative (MAPI), had warned the league at least twice during 1994 that it was not complying with the terms of its contract. James E. Jackson, chief of the agency's MAPI program, wrote Laureano-Vega a letter that reprimanded the league for not submitting an audit, for requesting reimbursement for "expense items that have not been paid," for failing to document how two employees performed the work for which they were paid, and for failing to satisfy the contract's requirements for making educational presentations.
Laureano-Vega protests that reimbursement and productivity problems are due to "rigid and inflexible" contracts that confuse providers who are trying to comply simultaneously with local and federal requirements. He says he expects the audit, which was due at the end of October 1994, to be completed soon. More generally, he blames much of the situation on a virulent campaign being waged against him by his estranged wife Mireille Tribie, a co-founder of the League Against AIDS who worked part-time as the group's deputy director. (The couple's divorce is not yet final.)
Tribie, who was fired by the board on February 22 after repeated confrontations with her husband, had approached HRS officials this past fall with several allegations regarding the league. She complained that one employee was being paid with MAPI funds but working at a different job for a separate corporation. Further, she claimed the board of directors rarely met, was not involved in the agency's affairs, and didn't conform to state regulations for nonprofit corporations. She also alleged that league officials requested reimbursement for items that had never been purchased. Another former league employee, Edgar Figueroa, wrote the agency a letter backing Tribie's contentions.

Grit is a magazine, formerly a weekly newspaper, popular in the rural US during much of the 20th century. It carried the subtitle America's Greatest Family Newspaper. In the early 1930s, it targeted small town and rural families with 14 pages plus a fiction supplement. By 1932, it had a circulation of 425,000 in 48 states, and 83% of its circulation was in towns of fewer than 10,000 population.
The publication was founded in 1892 as the Saturday edition of the Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Daily Sun and Banner. In 1885, the name was purchased for $1,000 by 25-year-old German immigrant Dietrick Lamade (pronounced Lam'-a-deh), who established a circulation of 4,000 during the first year.[1]
Lamade was born February 6, 1859, in Gölshausen, Germany, one of nine children of Johannes Dietrick and Caroline Stuepfle Lamade. The family moved to Williamsport in 1867, where Johannes died of typhoid fever on January 1, 1869. To support the family, Dietrick, his sister, and his older brothers quit school. At age ten, Dietrick began working as an errand boy, earning a weekly salary of $3 in the office of a local German-language weekly, Beobachter (literally Observer), when he was 13 years old.[2]
At 18, Lamade began printing theater programs and a four-page ad brochure, the Merchants' Free Press. In the summer of 1880, he did Camp News for the Pennsylvania National Guard, and he married the following year. In 1882, Lamade became the ad compositor and assistant composing room foreman for the Daily Sun and Banner, and that same year, Grit began as the paper's Saturday edition, typeset by Lamade. He left the Daily Sun in 1884 to launch the weekly Times as a daily, but finances and the health of the owner led the Times to cease publication. With two children and no job, 25-year-old Lamade became a publisher. Teaming with two partners, he bought the Times equipment plus the Grit name and goodwill. During his first year, he increased Grit's circulation to 4,000. He operated from a third-floor single room, moving to a storefront location in 1886, establishing a weekly circulation of 20,000 by 1887.[2]
With rapid expansion, a wagon of Remington typewriters was delivered to the Grit offices in 1892.[3] In 1894, one member of the art department was the 16-year-old C. W. Kahles, later famed as the creator of the long-run comic strip Hairbreadth Harry.
Grit displayed news and features aimed at rural America, and climbed to a weekly circulation of 100,000 by 1900, following an editorial policy outlined by Lamade during a banquet for Grit's employees:
While introducing such innovations as national newsboy delivery and direct mail, Lamade expanded his content to combine news, human interest articles, comic strips (sometimes filling ten pages), puzzles and serials in fiction supplements ("Grit Story Section"). Circulation reached 300,000 in 1916.
Grit was a familiar newspaper in small towns across the US for over a century. By the time of its 50th anniversary in 1932, 400,000 people bought the newspaper each week, increasing to 500,000 by 1934. Lamade retired in 1936, and died October 10, 1938. His son, George R. Lamade, became the publisher and editor, with grandson Howard Lamade, Jr. serving as Grit's production manager. George Lamade committed suicide in August 1965.[4]
Another son, Howard J. Lamade, was vice president, and also served as a top executive with Little League Baseball, helping to build it into a national institution. The main stadium used for the Little League World Series was built on land donated by the Lamade family, and it is named Howard J. Lamade Stadium in his memory.[5] Grit went to a tabloid format in 1944.
During the first three-quarters of the 20th century, Grit was sold across the country by children and teenagers, many recruited by ads in comic books from the 1940s to the 1970s. Approximately 30,000 children collected dimes from more than 700,000 American small town homes during the 1950s when the publication still carried the subtitle, "America's Greatest Family Newspaper." A comical ad in Richie Rich comic books aimed to recruit more young salesmen, suggesting that Richie's father, Richard Rich, got his start as a businessman selling Grit.[6]
By the 1940s, the paper was separated into five different sections "for ease of handling and reading." For instance, the 44-page issue for Sunday, January 1, 1950, was divided as follows:
The News Section, displaying a dramatic page-one headline, "Atomic Energy Provides Man Tool of Death or Good Life," followed with a variety of human-interest stories, a coverage of "1949 in Review," a "Stranger Than Fiction" column and a page of international news. More than a few photos focused on unusual highway accidents.[7]
The Women's Section included fashion features and recipes, along with stories on house plants, new gadgets and how to hold a tea party. The Family Section featured jokes, puzzles and the "Odd, Strange and Curious" page with stories on such subjects as a two-headed turtle and the world's largest collection of cigarette lighters. The Story Section opened with the first installment of the serialized "Ring Out the Old" by Mary Hastings Bradley and included "Modern Parables", a series by Fulton Oursler, author of The Greatest Story Ever Told.[7]
The Comic Section for January 1, 1950, carried the following Sunday comic strips in black-and-white: Chic Young's Blondie, Young's Colonel Potterby and the Duchess, Dixie Dugan by J. P. McEvoy and J.H. Streibel, Donald Duck, Flash Gordon by Mac Raboy and Don G. Moore, Carl Anderson's Henry, Ham Fisher's Joe Palooka, Jungle Jim by Paul Norris and Moore, Fran Striker's The Lone Ranger, Mandrake the Magician by Lee Falk and Phil Davis, J. R. Williams' Out Our Way, Hal Foster's Prince Valiant and Ed Reed's three-panel The Three Bares, extracted from Reed's Off the Record gag panel feature. To squeeze three or four strips on a page, some strips appear to have panels slightly cropped and other strips were stacked vertically, with The Three Bares inserted at the bottom as a filler.[7]
A few years later, Grit reduced the number of pages from 44 to 40, and went from five sections to four sections by combining the comic strips and illustrated stories into a single section. In this format, the strips were scattered about with a single strip used as a design element to relieve the monotony of many grey columns of story text.[7]
Charlie Walker, writing in the February 16, 2000 edition of The News (Kingstree, South Carolina), described a 1956 issue:
Grit was a pioneer in the introduction of offset printing. It was one of the first newspapers in the US to run color photographs, with the first full-color picture (of the American flag) appearing on the front page in June, 1963. At its peak in 1969, Grit had a weekly circulation of 1.5 million copies.[9]
The Lamade family owned Grit for nearly 100 years, but in 1981, ADVO-System, Inc. of Hartford, Connecticut purchased the paper. In 1983, Grit was purchased by Stauffer Communications, Inc. of Topeka, Kansas, which already owned Capper's Weekly, a national tabloid also marketed to rural areas and small towns, albeit mostly in the Great Plains and Midwestern states.
In 1992, Grit left Williamsport after 111 years and moved its offices to Topeka. At that time, Roberta Peterson was editor-in-chief of Grit and also of Best Recipes, a bimonthly glossy magazine that grew to be a Top 10 paid circulation national food title. Peterson left the group for a Senior Editor position at Meredith Corporation (Better Homes and Gardens, Ladies Home Journal) in 1995, at the time of the magazine group's double sale—first to Morris Communications, and very shortly after in the same year, to Ogden Publications. At that time, publishing of Best Recipes was suspended.[10]
For decades Grit had published a national edition, a Pennsylvania edition (for sale within the Keystone State, featuring mostly Pennsylvania-related stories) and a local edition. The local edition was the Sunday newspaper for Williamsport and Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, and was circulated in 13 other counties in north-central Pennsylvania as well; the National Edition served essentially as its magazine. This edition stopped publication in the early 1990s, whereupon the Williamsport Sun Gazette begin producing a Sunday edition. Michael R. Rafferty, who later served as a city councilman and mayor of Williamsport (2000–2004), was the last native-born Williamsporter to serve as editor of the Grit national and city editions, leaving Grit in 1991. Today he serves as editor of Webb Weekly, a Williamsport publication with an approach similar to Grit's.[7]
In 1995, the Morris Communications Corporation purchased Stauffer Communications, giving Morris a total of 32 daily newspapers in 13 states when it added Stauffer's 20 daily papers, including the Stauffer flagship, the Topeka Capital-Journal. Morris president Paul S. Simon said he intended to sell Stauffer's broadcast division, including 11 stations and several radio networks, and Stauffer Magazine Group, which included Grit, Cappers (a rural tabloid with a 120-year history, formerly the Cappers Weekly referred to above) and Best Recipes magazine.
Later that year, Grit and Cappers were acquired by Ogden Publications. Grit, which had until this time been biweekly, was then edited by Kathryn Compton as a monthly with the subtitle "Stories of American Life & Tradition." Other Ogden Publications include American Life & Traditions, Farm Collector, Mother Earth News and Utne Reader.
Beginning with the September 2006 issue, Grit converted to an all-glossy, perfect bound magazine format and a bi-monthly schedule. The revamped editorial policy encompasses more of a contemporary rural emphasis on content, rather than the nostalgic themes of the previous decade. With a print run of 150,000 and Time Warner as the national newsstand distributor, Grit was displayed and sold at general newsstand outlets, bookstores and specialty farm feed and supply stores, including Tractor Supply Company.

A lot vs. Alot: 9 Grammatical Pitfalls
"new town," Powys county, historic county of Montgomeryshire (Sir Drefaldwyn), Wales, located on the River Severn 15 miles (24 km) southwest of Welshpool. In 1967 Newtown was designated the second new town in Wales, in an effort to create additional employment opportunities and check persisting rural depopulation. The town's original charter dates from 1280. To the southwest of town are the remains of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle, and the parliament hall of the medieval Welsh leader Owen Glendower was moved to Newtown in 1885. Gradual urban renewal efforts during the 1970s resulted in a considerable mixture of old and new. The 16th-century town hall was torn down and replaced with a new Georgian-style hall. Other new structures include a county library headquarters, a police centre, and residential and industrial estates. A variety of light industries have been introduced to supplement the traditional textile mills and sawmills. Pop. (2001) with Llanllwchaiarn, 10,783.

Grease Fire Destroys Local Restaurant
Category: Featured Articles Published Date Written by Kevin Lyons Hits: 1893
A grease fire has been ruled as the actual cause of a blaze that severely damaged Royal Shish Kabob, 13057 Pardee Road, last Wednesday.
No one was injured, but damage to the Middle Eastern restaurant was significant. "It's gutted," Fire Marshal John Hager said. The fire began at about 6:30 p.m. when the owner left the kitchen to deliver food to customers. The owner was the only one working and saw smoke from the kitchen.
Hager said the stove's fire suppression hood system, or built-in water sprinklers, turned on but were quickly overtaken. "Grease can ignite really quickly," Hager said. "He could not get to his fire extinguisher. He dialed 911 and ran next door to the tattoo salon to tell them about the fire." The next-door business, Babydolls Tattoos and Body Piercing Studio, 13059 Pardee, had only minor water damage. Hager said the owner plans to rebuild the restaurant.

Lorentzen, Henry b. 1900; d. 1997 Discipline: Drawing/Illustration, Painting
Having lived his entire life near Washburn, Henry Lorentzen was strongly influenced by the Missouri River and other natural surroundings.
A farmer and rancher by trade, he had no formal art training. He set up his studio on bluffs overlooking the river and from there, produced numerous landscapes in pastel-colored oils, watercolors, pen and ink, and pencil.
Some of his work depicts a Missouri River that was largely untouched and resembled some of the views seen by Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery. Other images illustrate comfort and security, featuring log cabins nestled into hills or cowboys standing tall and alone on the prairie.
He was married to Grace Barlow in 1931. The marriage produced two daughters, Yvonne and Estell, and two sons, Ross and Norman. Following in her father's artistic footsteps, Yvonne earned an art degree from the University of Indiana in Bloomington and practiced art as a missionary in Ecuador.

Reverse mortgages are secured against your home. The title stays in your name and you're responsible for all ongoing costs such as rates and maintenance. The impact of fees and interest means the loan grows over time. What's left after it's repaid depends on factors such as how much your house increases in value, the interest rate and the amount you borrowed. Originally reverse mortgages were sold directly by the lender, but in the last few years mortgage brokers have started to offer these products. Currently only very few loans are sold by licensed financial advisers.
Please note: this information was current as of February 2007 but is still a useful guide to today's market. For more recent information, see our Reverse mortgages 2010.
We sent three shadow shoppers, aged 65, to a total of 10 mortgage brokers and five companies offering reverse mortgages to find out what sort of information and advice is offered.
We assessed 23 loan contracts of reverse mortgages against six standards for consumer protection.
Read our reverse mortgage comparison.
Our shadow shop revealed a poor standard of product information and advice — it's inadequate and needs regulation in order to improve.
Reverse mortgages can only work to your advantage if you fully understand them, are aware of contract traps and consider your specific circumstances and future needs. However, our shadow shop showed there's a danger of coming across mortgage brokers and salespeople who don't give you all the information you need to make an informed decision. CHOICE wants to see improvements to the standards for product information and contract conditions urgently, to protect elderly consumers from getting into financial danger at a time when they could be frail and vulnerable.
CHOICE is deeply concerned about our findings. We will be lobbying all state governments to adopt the new NSW mortgage broker legislation which:
Occasionally we receive calls from journalists looking for case studies.

Reverse mortgages are aimed at home owners aged 60 and over. You can use them, for example, to supplement your income with a monthly payment, buy a new car or to pay for a holiday. Essentially you borrow money against the value of your property, but make no regular repayments. The loan is repaid when you move, sell or after your death — and in the meantime, of course, it accumulates compounding interest. Reverse mortgages are secured against your home. The title stays in your name and you're responsible for all ongoing costs such as rates and maintenance. The impact of fees and interest means the loan grows over time. What's left after it's repaid depends on factors such as how much your house increases in value, the interest rate and the amount you borrowed.
Read our assessment of the contracts and profiles for 23 reverse mortgages.
Reverse mortgages are very complex and relatively new products with which consumers have little experience. We think these products should only be sold to well-informed people who are aware of the pitfalls and have considered them carefully. This is where the professional who sells the product to the borrower has an important role. Most lenders will try to ensure you're aware of important conditions before settlement: most require you to have expert independent legal advice, some also require financial advice and some may contact you directly to make sure you understand the loan contract. However, comprehensive information is needed right from the first meeting. You should be able to expect to be fully informed before you formally apply for a loan.
While our shadow shop was small (three people visited or called a total of 15 mortgage brokers and lenders), it still showed glaring gaps in the information provided to consumers. The majority of mortgage brokers and salespeople:
When CHOICE shadow shopper Anthony called the COMMONWEALTH BANK (CBA) for information about reverse mortgages he encountered somewhat bizarre sales practices. A pre-approval interview was conducted over the phone. During this phone call the salesperson said they needed to open an account for Anthony to get to the next screen on their computer. They explained very few details about the product but offered to answer specific questions and to send information. Although the information never arrived, Anthony did receive a transaction account statement and a call from a valuer. He told the valuer he wasn't interested and asked for the account to be closed. But a few weeks later he received another statement, this time for a line of credit account. The CBA confirmed its staff did make mistakes in handling our shadow shopper's enquiry and said it's taking steps to reinforce correct procedures.
A few years back, Jane and Peter from Sydney had difficulty keeping up the repayments on their $190,000 home loan and went to a mortgage broker, asking for a reverse mortgage. The broker recommended they take out a larger loan to pay off their original one. He told them they wouldn't have to make monthly interest payments on the new loan. Jane and Peter thought they'd been offered a reverse mortgage. In fact it was a loan secured by their house that didn't require documentation proving their ability to repay it — this is sometimes called asset lending. The difference from a reverse mortgage is that you're required to repay the asset loan (including accumulated interest) at some stage, and not just when you sell your home, die or move out. These loans are usually structured in a way that provides you with enough funds to repay existing debts. However, with repayments built in and added to the loan amount, the loan will eventually grow and you may not have the money to pay it out when it's finally required. Brokers may suggest people who take out one of these loans can again refinance at this point, but that strategy can only work if the value of the home has increased sufficiently — it's very high-risk. After taking out the recommended loan and using money for renovations and repayments, Jane and Peter now owe $350,000 and are in danger of losing their house. Two mortgage brokers offered such a loan to CHOICE shadow shopper Larry as an alternative to a reverse mortgage. Larry is on a Centrelink pension. One broker suggested he could borrow up to 70% ($420,000) of the value of his home and use the money for investing.
CHOICE is very concerned about this practice. Asset loans are in no way similar to a reverse mortgage as they require repayment and don't have a no negative equity guarantee. They put borrowers in danger of eventually losing their home. Recommending such a product to borrowers who are in financial difficulty and can't afford repayments can only be called unscrupulous. We've asked the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to investigate.
For valuable input in this story we'd like to thank:
The calculator shows you how long it could take until the loan is worth more than your house. The 'no negative equity guarantee' normally offered by the lender protects you against this. What this means is that the lender covers the difference if the sale price of the house doesn't cover the debt. Make sure your loan offers an unconditional guarantee otherwise the lender may not honour it if you're in default at the time of the sale.
Note: House value compounded annually, loan interest compounded monthly. Disclaimer: Every effort has been taken to ensure the accuracy of this information. You should check product details and conditions with any institution concerned before committing yourself.
