Frequently Asked Questions
How much deposit do I need to buy a house in Hamilton/Waikato?
Under current Reserve Bank rules, owner-occupiers generally need a 20% deposit, and investors need 30% on existing properties (20% on new builds). If you’re a first home buyer, the Kāinga Ora First Home Loan can get you into a home with just a 5% deposit, provided you meet the income caps and standard lending criteria, see the next question for the details.
What is a Kāinga Ora First Home Loan and do I qualify?
It’s a government-backed scheme that lets eligible first home buyers get a mortgage with as little as 5% deposit instead of the usual 20%.
Kāinga Ora doesn’t lend you the money directly, it underwrites the loan so participating banks can approve it at a lower deposit. To qualify, you generally need to earn $95,000 or less as an individual buyer with no dependents, or $150,000 or less if you have dependents or are buying with someone else, be 18 or older, be a NZ citizen, permanent resident, or resident visa holder, plan to live in the home yourself, and still meet your lender’s standard credit and lending criteria.
Note that the separate First Home Grant was discontinued in May 2024, this loan scheme is a different thing and is still running.
How much does a mortgage broker cost in Hamilton?
For most residential home loans, using a mortgage broker costs you nothing. The lender pays the broker a commission once your loan settles, and that commission doesn’t add to your interest rate or repayments. Fees can apply for more complex lending like construction or commercial finance, and a broker should always tell you upfront if one applies.
Can a mortgage broker get me a better rate than going to my bank directly?
A broker works across a panel of lenders rather than just one bank, so part of the value is comparing rates and loan structures across the market rather than only what one bank offers you. we compare rates across 20+ major NZ lenders.
How long does mortgage pre-approval take?
Turnaround depends on the lender and how complete your documents are. most of our clients get pre-approved within 2-10 business days.
Do I need a perfect credit history to get a mortgage?
No, but your credit history does affect which lenders will consider you and on what terms. Part of what a broker does is match you to a lender whose criteria fit your situation, rather than you applying blind to one bank and hoping.
