Kāinga Ora First Home Partner Scheme explained
Need a hand buying a home? Kāinga Ora may be able to help.

AI summary
The Kāinga Ora First Home Partner scheme helps first home buyers through shared ownership. Kāinga Ora contributes up to 25% or $200,000 towards a brand new home, which you buy back over time.
You'll need at least a 5% deposit and a household income under $130,000. The goal is to achieve full ownership within 15 years. While currently fully subscribed, it's a great option for those who can service a mortgage but lack a large deposit.
