Can I buy a house with no deposit?
No deposit saved? No worries. In some cases it’s possible to buy a house without one.
AI summary
Buying a house in NZ with a low or no deposit is challenging but possible.
Consider these options:
- Low deposit loans, like a Kāinga Ora First Home Loan, which may require only 5% but can have higher fees.
- Withdrawing from your KiwiSaver.
- Asking parents to act as a guarantor, a significant risk for them.
A mortgage broker can provide expert advice and help find non-traditional lending solutions for your specific situation.
