Yes! You can withdraw from your KiwiSaver account to help with your deposit, provided you meet certain eligibility criteria. We’ll guide you through the process.

How much deposit do I need for my first home?

Most lenders prefer at least 10–20% deposit, but we can help you find options with as little as 5%, depending on your financial profile and credit history.

Can I get a first home loan with a low credit score?

It may be more challenging, but not impossible. We work with a variety of lenders, including those open to lower credit profiles.

How long does the loan approval process take?

Pre-approvals can take as little as 24–72 hours, while full approvals may vary depending on the lender and documentation provided.
