First Home Loan

A First Home Loan could get you into your first home with just a 5% deposit.

The First Home Loan is an initiative supported by Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities designed to help first time buyers onto the property ladder.

It could work for you if you could afford mortgage repayments but don't have enough for a deposit. 

To be eligible, you must plan to live in the house you buy; the loan can’t be used to buy a rental or investment property. 

There are income limits in place to be eligible for a First Home Loan.

You can apply if your annual household income is no more than: 

  • $95,000 before tax (if you’re the sole borrower without dependents), 
  • $150,000 before tax (if you’re the sole borrower with dependents), 
  • a combined $150,000 before tax (if you’re buying a house with other people). 

You can use money you’ve been gifted by a relative, and you may also be able to use your KiwiSaver to put funds towards the purchase.
