Did you know the reserve bank restrictions of limiting the lending to 80% of the value of the property, only applies to the registered banks in New Zealand?
This ruling was not to stop first home buyers from being able to borrow money.
It was to help stabilise the lending portfolios of New Zealand registered banks from disaster, whilst also trying to stem the out of control housing market.
Does this measure mean you can’t buy a home now with less than a 20% deposit? OF COURSE NOT!

Did the Bank say sorry we can’t approve your loan? Well, don’t let that stop you from making the dream of owning your first home a reality!
If we can’t source a loan for you from a mainstream bank then you have to consider other options such as non-bank lenders.
I can hear you say but the interest rates and fees will be higher?
Let me tell you, that the bank potentially would have charged you a higher interest rate anyway, due to having less than 20% deposit.
This is what they call a low equity margin.
It is a percentage they add to the standard rate. The margin is only reduced or removed once the equity in the home is greater than 20%.
Another fee that the banks may charge is what is called a low equity fee. It can be charged as a one-off upfront fee.
See, being told no by the bank is not necessarily the end to your dreams of being a homeowner.
With a non-bank lender, you will not be stuck with a higher interest rate for the life of the loan!
Yes, as the value of the home increases and the debt level reduces you will, therefore, be creating equity in the property.
This enables you to negotiate better rates with your lender, or re-finance to another lender who is willing to give you a better deal when it comes time to review your loan.
There are a number of options available so being told no by your bank is not the end of the dream of owning your first home. Call us HERE
