Heartland Group Holdings (ASX:HGH, NZE:HGH) launched its Village Access Loans product for New Zealanders aged 60 years or older, according to the firm's website.
Eligible borrowers must have a minimum property value of NZ$250,000 and they can borrow up to 50% of their house's value to buy an occupation right in a retirement village.
Interest is calculated on the outstanding balance and added monthly to the loan, and the total loan amount, including accumulated interest, must be repaid within three years.
