Tea & possibilities

Thousands of Kiwis over 60 who have taken out a reverse mortgage are upgrading their homes or cars, taking holidays, enjoying hobbies or simply embracing a lifestyle free from financial stress while staying in their home.

Judy Bailey has been visiting Reverse Mortgage customers from around the country to hear these experiences firsthand, spending time with them to understand what unlocking the possibilities truly means in their lives.

Dave & Adrienne

Coming home to NZ was the plan. Finding a seamless way to fund their retirement was the bonus. Dave and Adrienne expected hiccups, but they found a seamless process at Heartland Bank. Now, whether it's home maintenance or money available when you need it, they have total peace of mind.


Anne

Anne’s story is a common one, but the solution was simpler than she expected. After seeing a reverse mortgage on TV, she discovered how to turn her home into a resource for her future.


Peter

Peter spent his career "doing the maths," worried his savings wouldn't cover a long, active retirement. Watch how he traded financial anxiety for a campervan, a ukulele, and a trip along the UK coastline.


Guy

Like many Kiwis, Guy was surprised by his home’s value. But what good is a high-value home if you can’t enjoy retirement? Guy chatted with Judy Bailey about unlocking a portion of his equity to travel in comfort and live life on his terms.


Tim & Kathryn

"Will a reverse mortgage upset the kids?" It’s the question many parents ask. For Kathryn and her sisters, the answer was the opposite. See how Tim and his daughter Kathryn worked with Heartland Bank to secure his peace of mind.


Jill

A Christchurch couple, a family in America, and a "No" from their regular bank. See the moment Jill helped them turn "video calls" into "real hugs."
