Worried about bond instalments? Choose the stage matching your records, from an upcoming missed payment to a notice, summons or possible home sale.
LET YOUR DOCUMENTS GUIDE YOU
Choose the stage that matches your documents
Start with early intervention if you are still current. Move to missed-payment or arrears guidance when the account is behind, and use the court-stage pages if formal papers have been served.

UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Questions consumers often ask
Does one missed bond payment mean my home can be sold?
No. One missed payment does not itself mean an immediate sale. Enforcement follows contractual and legal processes that depend on later steps and the facts.
Should I contact the bank before I fall behind?
Yes. If you foresee difficulty, early contact and a realistic affordability review can help you understand what options the bank may consider.
What if my home is my primary residence?
Execution against a primary residence involves judicial oversight. If court papers have already been issued, obtain independent legal advice on the specific case.
