Have a question?
- When do I receive loan statements?
- 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.
- What is the annual questionnaire?
- 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.
- How do I draw funds from my cash reserve facility?
-
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. - How is the interest calculated?
- 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.
- Am I required to make loan repayments?
- 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.
- How can I make voluntary repayments?
-
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.
