Thinking about your next home and wondering how you actually get from here to there?🤔

Buying again is different when you already have a home and mortgage in the mix. Do you sell first? Can you buy first? What will you actually have to put towards the next place, and how does pre-approval work this time around?

Serina Nicholson, Mortgage Adviser at HTL Mortgages, sees people trying to work all of this out after they’ve already found a home they love and the pressure is on.

In our latest article, Serina talks through how buying your next home works, the things worth sorting early, and a few of the things that can catch you out along the way.

🏠Sell first or buy first? How to be ready when the right next home comes along.

Buying your first home can be a lot to navigate, especially in a fast-moving auction market 🏠

Emma & Anthony recently shared this feedback about working with Serina Nicholson:

“We worked with Serina to secure our first mortgage, and the whole experience was stress-free and highly professional.

She simplified every step of the process and made sure we had all our ducks in a row before heading into an auction in Auckland’s fast-paced market.

Serina compared multiple lenders, clearly explained our options, and secured pre-approval with excellent rates at two banks, giving us the flexibility to choose what suited us best.

Her communication was always clear, timely and reassuring, and we felt informed and supported throughout.

Serina also stayed available during the two-month wait between going unconditional and settlement, offering guidance whenever we needed it and supporting us through issues with the bank. Her calm, reassuring approach made a potentially stressful time feel far more manageable. With her handling things, we knew any issues would be taken care of.

We’re very grateful for her expertise and care throughout the journey and would happily recommend Serina to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive and genuinely supportive mortgage adviser.”

Thanks Emma & Anthony for taking the time to share your experience, and congratulations again on your first home.

Three questions worth asking about your portfolio right now:

• Do I know where my biggest exposures really are?
• Am I relying heavily on index funds, or is there active management alongside them?
• Am I comparing returns after tax and fees?

The answers can tell you a lot about whether your portfolio is genuinely diversified and whether the overall mix still suits your goals.

HTL Group Financial Adviser Allie Black breaks down a few of the things investors should be looking at beyond the market headlines.

If you’re not sure how your own portfolio stacks up, talk to Allie or our investment team.

Is your portfolio actually as diversified as you think it is?

It's the question HTL Group Financial Adviser Allie Black thinks more NZ investors should be asking right now — especially with global equity markets shifting in ways that don't always make the headlines.

The OCR has risen for the first time since May 2023. An election taking place in November and KiwiSaver changes are coming. And inside one of the world's most widely held indices, something is happening that changes the picture for everyday investors.

Could your home help fund your next move?🚛

For some older homeowners, the challenge isn’t always a lack of equity. It’s that the money is tied up in the property.

In our latest blog, Serina Nicholson, Mortgage Broker, explains when a reverse mortgage or home equity release option may be worth exploring, when to be cautious, and why it’s important to talk through the options first.

HTL advisers are seeing how easily businesses can change between renewals.

New contracts, property use, subcontractors, rural diversification or digital systems can all change the picture your insurer needs to understand.

If that picture is outdated, your cover may not reflect how your business operates today.

We’ve shared five areas worth checking before renewal simply rolls over.
