The CML has responded to the Prudential Regulation Authority consultation on equity release mortgages (ERM).The paper was asking for views on ERM valuation, capital treatment, risk management and associated matters.  

We welcome the engagement of the PRA in this sector of the mortgage market. 

The discussion paper does not propose any additions to the PRA Rulebook but seeks to gain a more detailed understanding of the development of this sector of the mortgage market and the policies that firms employ within this segment of the market - particularly in regard to valuations and risk management.
