Hi Shane,
Thanks for your enquiry,
We cannot comment on whether Heritage Bank will provide home loans for Newstart clients as it will depend on a range of factors including any other income or benefits you receive, your assets, liabilities, and credit score. Most banks treat this kind of application on a case-by-case basis.
You can learn more about home loans for Centrelink recipients where you can also get in touch with a mortgage broker who can draw upon their panel of lenders to find one that’s more likely to review your application.

What percentage of the value of my house can I have equity line of credit?
Hi Chris,
thanks for the question.
This will depend on the amount you wish to borrow. If you intend to borrow up to $200,000 with the Heritage Bank Living Equity loan you might be able to borrow up to 85% of your property value. If you borrow between $200- $300,000, you might be able to borrow up to 80% of your property, and for amounts higher than this you could be able to borrow up to 75% of the property value.
I hope this helps,
Marc.
