Questions? You’re Covered
It depends! While 20% is standard, with a First Home Loan you may only need 5%. We specialise in finding solutions for buyers with smaller deposits.
Pre-approval is a lender’s agreement, in principle, to lend you a certain amount. It is typically free when arranged through us and is your essential first step before house hunting.
Yes! If you meet the criteria for the First Home Grant, you could receive thousands of dollars towards your deposit. We help you apply for it.
We can advise on how your student loan affects your borrowing power. We can also help you navigate the process of withdrawing your KiwiSaver funds for your deposit.
Our Testimonials
Securing a home loan in New Zealand proved to be a significant challenge. After my initial application was declined by a major bank, I was introduced to Hareen. His deep sector knowledge and expertise in complex financial situations were exceptional.
Hareen successfully secured approval for the very same loan that had been declined, a testament to his skill and strategic approach. His understanding of lender risk assessment was pivotal in turning my situation around.
Without his support, purchasing a home in Auckland would have remained out of reach. I highly recommend Hareen to anyone facing financial hurdles; he expertly navigates obstacles to deliver results.
Arjuna
Hareen’s expertise was invaluable in navigating a complex home loan application. After previously dealing directly with banks, I needed a broker who could handle a more challenging approval process. Hareen’s deep banking knowledge was immediately apparent—he confidently answered all my questions and presented strategic options I hadn’t considered.
He demonstrated a clear understanding of my unique situation, maintained excellent communication, and his unwavering confidence was reassuring throughout. Once approved, his strategic advice on structuring the loan and his long-term outlook ensured I had the optimal setup.
I highly recommend Hareen for any mortgage needs and would not hesitate to work with him again.
