Where will your deposit come from?
Your deposit does NOT have to all come from one place.

AI summary
Sourcing a house deposit is flexible, with many combining funds from different places. Don't be discouraged, as 5-10% deposit options and government schemes can make home ownership more achievable than you might think.
Key sources include:
- KiwiSaver withdrawals (after 3 years of contributions)
- Personal savings grown via term deposits or investments
- Help from the "Bank of mum and dad" as a gift or loan (DOAD)
- Selling items or taking on extra work.
