Finance
For many kiwis, building a new home means approaching a bank for finance to fund the project. There’s nothing wrong with that, providing you meet the Banks lending criteria and are happy with the loan structure. However, financing a new home is not the same as existing real estate, there are a lot more factors to consider and it may well be worth considering a specialist residential construction lending company. Financing through a company who specialises in residential building can offer many benefits including:
- Having a financier that understands home building means a smoother, more enjoyable process.
- A specialist lender can guide you through using Kiwi Saver for part, or all, of your deposit.
- A specialist lender may be able to offer options that work better for you. Depending on the situation, home building is exempt from the Reserve Bank low deposit lending restrictions — which means you could purchase a turn-key house and land package from as little as 5% deposit with no mortgage repayments until completion. In this way you are not carrying a mortgage or rent on your current home – plus the cost of building. It may also mean you get into a new home sooner.

A specialist lender will ensure you have access to enough money to cover:
- The estimated costs within the Building Contract.
- Any owner care items (the things you intend to do yourself such as landscaping).
- An interest reserve to help cover the cost of finance (if required).
- Contingency reserve in-case you change your mind on something along the way.
- An accommodation allowance (if required) — you may still need to pay your existing mortgage or rent whilst your new home is being built.
