Saving a 20% deposit is often the biggest hurdle facing first home buyers, but it isn't the only way onto the property ladder.

Between lower-deposit options like the 5% First Home Loan Scheme and housing affordability returning to long-term averages across the country, getting into your first home might be closer than you think.

Ahead of the upcoming general election, there are also ongoing discussions around potential policy changes that could open up eligibility to even more first home buyers.

Our latest blog breaks down how recent market shifts impact your buying power right now and what these options could mean for your future plans.

When you go direct to a bank, you only get the home loan products that single bank wants to offer you and once the paperwork is signed, you are left on your own.

A mortgage adviser works differently. We look across the market to find the right solution for you today, and we stay in your corner as interest rates change, fixed terms roll over, and your long-term financial goals evolve.

You deserve more than an off-the-shelf transaction. You deserve a partner by your side for the long haul.

Ready to get a mortgage adviser in your corner? Send us a message to get started.

I'm 4 weeks from being in my 'other' office. Preparations have been happening all off season.

Mechanically ✅

You can't just jump into a 200mph race car without being prepared. Likewise making one of the biggest purchases in your life needs preparation.

Join my team and I will help you start to finish line. I have the grit, determination and experience you need!🏁

📍Friday Fact!

“My bank said NO, so I have no other options.”

❌ WRONG!

Just because one bank says no doesn’t mean your home ownership dreams are over!

If a main bank like ANZ, ASB or another major lender can’t make it work, there may be other options available.

💡 This is where non-bank lenders can make a real difference!

Lenders like Avanti, Pepper, Liberty or Base Corp offer alternative lending solutions for people who may have a more complex financial situation, including:

✅ Self-employed borrowers
✅ People earning overseas income
✅ Applicants with credit impairments
✅ Those with outstanding IRD arrears

Every situation is different, and the right solution depends on your circumstances and the lender’s criteria.

🎯 My job isn't just to find you a loan. It's to find a way forward.

So, before you give up because one bank said no, let's talk! There may be more options than you think.

📩 Get in touch today and let's see what's possible!
