Accommodation Bond Loan criteria that must be met.

Key criteria that must be met:

  • You must be aged 60 or over. There is no maximum age limit.

  • You must own the property. You may be the sole owner or share ownership with your spouse (some exceptions for trusts or companies).

  • You must not still reside in the home. However, the house can be rented out and may have other occupiers living in it. If rented, there must be a formal lease in place that is no more than 12 months in duration and does not take the tenant over the expiry date of the 5 year term.
