How to get a 5% deposit home loan in NZ
Only got a little deposit saved? This article's for you.
AI summary
Eligible first-home buyers can purchase property with a 5% deposit via the First Home Loan scheme, underwritten by Kāinga Ora. This helps overcome the standard 20% deposit requirement for those who qualify.
Key eligibility includes income caps and residency status. Note that these loans may have higher interest rates and an upfront fee. Your deposit can be boosted with your KiwiSaver and the First Home Grant.
Apply directly to participating lenders like Westpac and Kiwibank, not Kāinga Ora.
