Can I choose how I pay a job off?
Repayment options are flexible to suit you. Frequencies of repayment include weekly, fortnightly or monthly over a period of up to 12 months.
Repayments are chosen by you on a job-by-job basis.
Can I remove a job from my Property Tab?
Property Tab is a flexible maintenance funding solution. Jobs can be added, and removed from the your 'Tab' at any point.
Even once a loan is taken out, there are no early pay-off fees so the balance can be paid off in full at any time.
When do I start making repayments?
You start making repayments only once work has been paid for on the Tab. This is when a supplier has been paid for the work.
Up until this point, there are no fees paid for a Property Tab (unless there are other loans also being paid off).

No! Because Property Credit doesn’t do credit checks, your credit score won't be negatively affected.
