Top 5 Ways to get your 5% deposit for First Time Buyers

BREAKING NEWS 5% Deposit Only for First Time Buyers is HERE !

There are several helping hands out there for first home buyers to help them get a leg up when trying to buy their first home.  Here are 5 tips for making the most of the help available to first home buyers.

1.       ACCESSING KIWISAVER FOR A DEPOSIT

This provides a financial boost for people looking to buy their first home. Those who have been with KiwiSaver for at least three years may be able to access some of the account’s savings to put towards the deposit if they leave $1000 in it.

2.       HOME START GRANT

These are accessible to people who have contributed to a KiwiSaver scheme for at least three years and earn $85,000 or less for a single buyer, or $130,000 or less for two or more buyers. Individual buyers can get up to $10,000 and a couple up to $20,000 for a new home or an “off-plan” property.

3.       FIRST HOME LOAN

Certain banks and other lending institutions are underwritten by Housing New Zealand as a First Home Loan which allows them to provide the loan with a 5 % deposit, instead of the more common 20 per cent.

 4.       GIFT FROM A FAMILY MEMBER

 You can be gifted money to help make the difference up for your 5% deposit which is relatively easy to do and can make all the difference to the magical 5% deposit requirement.

 5.       GET PRE-APPROVAL Use a decent mortgage broker oh that’s me !!

This will allow first-home buyers to move as soon as they’ve found a property, they’re keen on and a better chance of getting their offer accepted from the seller and the bank.
