FAQs
Our House & Land packages make building easy by bringing together the right section and home design - so you can skip the stress and get straight to the fun part.
Most banks ask for:
• 10% for owner-occupier builds (or sometimes 5% if you're a first home buyer)
• 20% for investment builds
First home buyers may also get bank cash contributions to help with costs.
Using KiwiSaver?
If you’ve been contributing for 3+ years, you might be able to use it toward your deposit. Chat with your KiwiSaver adviser to make sure you’re in the right fund and ready to go.
A construction loan is paid out in stages as your home is built – these are called progress payments. You’ll usually only pay the interest during the build, which helps with cash flow.
Some lenders offer special construction rates, so choosing the right one can save you money.
