How to get a 5% deposit home loan in NZ
Only got a little deposit saved? This article's for you.

AI summary
Eligible first-home buyers can purchase property with a 5% deposit through the First Home Loan scheme, underwritten by Kāinga Ora.
To qualify, you must meet specific criteria, including income caps (e.g., under $95,000 for an individual buyer). Be aware of potential higher interest rates and fees. Apply directly through participating lenders like Westpac or Kiwibank, not Kāinga Ora. Your deposit can be boosted with your KiwiSaver and the First Home Grant.
