Have a question?

In April and October each year (regardless of your loan’s settlement date). The statement details the transactions on your loan over the previous period, including interest, any applicable fees and charges, and whether you have any additional funds available.
Completion of Heartland’s annual questionnaire is required under your loan agreement. Its purpose is to confirm that your rates and insurance are up to date, and that the property is being maintained. You will receive the questionnaire on the anniversary of your loan commencement, every year. It must be completed, signed and returned within a month.
To draw funds out of your facility, you simply need to submit a request using our online form here, and a member of the team will be in touch.

A drawdown fee applies - please refer to Heartland's current fee schedule here.
Interest is calculated on the daily balance, and added to the loan monthly. At the end of the term of your loan, when you move permanently from your home, the total interest charged, together with the principle will be payable.
No. There is no requirement to make any loan repayment until the end of the loan. Heartland does offer the flexibility to repay the loan partially, or in full, at any time without paying penalty charges.
You can make repayments at any time.

Please be sure to include your loan number and your last name in the transaction description. This is essential, as it enables us to correctly identify your loan repayment.

You can find your loan number on your settlement letter, as well as any subsequent statements. We can also confirm your loan number over the phone for you on 0800 488 740.

We understand that this can be a stressful time. While you will need to notify Heartland and provide us with a death certificate, provided you are a nominated borrower, you will continue to have lifetime occupancy of your home – and can live there for as long as you choose.
If you move into another house, you will repay your current reverse mortgage and you can re-apply on your new home. Fees will apply and your new home must meet our current lending and property criteria, including valuation, size and location. Please contact us for assistance.
