First Home Buyer

Finding and purchasing your first home can be stressful, especially when you don’t know what’s out there in terms of financing.

We’ve helped many people get into their first home using savings, KiwiSaver withdrawal, Welcome Home loans, HomeStart Grants and Guarantors, plus we’ll work with you through the entire process, front to back.

We’re able to order registered valuations through Property IQ on your behalf or access E-Valuations with help in gathering information and putting together an offer.

The one thing we want to make sure is that your mortgage is structured correctly right from the start, paying down as much as you can at closing.  With the right education and loan structure, you’ll be able to pay down the debt much faster than the normal 25 or 30 year term.
