Let Our Experts Help You With A Home Loan

How much home can you afford? Your dream house could quickly turn into a nightmare if you’re unable to make your mortgage payments on time.

Be prepared and make sure you don’t fall into the debt trap on your mortgage by utilising our free home loan calculator to work out your home loan repayments.

Use our calculator as a guide since the actual details of your financial well being will be based on factors that aren’t so easily captured by a calculator. Regardless of where you stand, our calculator will get you started with a good idea of how much you can afford towards buying a home in New Zealand.

Home Loan Calculator

Our Home Loan calculator is designed to give you an idea of your buying power so you can start looking at your property options in your preferred location. It includes how much you’ll pay in monthly mortgage repayments so you can plan ahead without breaking the bank.

Your loan estimates are just the beginning. Reach out to our MyFuture financial advisers for in depth, personalised advice on the next steps including how to save for your deposit and repayments efficiently, how to create more wealth, and connect you to the best mortgage opportunities.

How Much Do I Need For A Home Loan In New Zealand?

The property market in New Zealand is constantly in flux. With recent spikes in house prices, there are opportunities to borrow from your bank with as little as a 5-10% deposit. We can determine whether you meet the criteria for a Kāinga Ora First Home Loan which could enable you to buy your first home with only a 5% deposit. There are also other assistance options through KiwiSaver schemes which are worth exploring.

Keep in mind that the lower your initial deposit, the more risk there is to both the borrower and lender. If you take out a mortgage for more than 80% of the property’s value, you’ll likely have higher interest rates or fees to cover the higher risk that the lender faces in case you default.

To reduce this risk, lenders typically require a minimum deposit of at least 20% of the full house price. If the house is worth $700,000, you would need a deposit of at least $140,000. If you have sold a previous home, you can think about using that money towards paying for your new home.

MyFuture is here to help you make the most of your resources and get you on track to secure a deposit and find you the best mortgage around. Reach out today for a FREE no obligation Discovery Session with our Qualified Financial Advisers.

What is our 6-Step Financial Advice Process?

The 6-step financial advice process is the international benchmark for financial planning. This holistic approach is proven to increase the likelihood of you achieving your financial goals.

Steps 1 and 2

Discovery Session

This is our opportunity to get to know you better, understand your financial goals (short, medium and long-term), and what resources you have to achieve those goals.

Steps 2 and 3

Research & Recommendations

During these steps, we do the research, run the numbers, document and present our recommendations to you. This can be a comprehensive financial plan focused on long-term wealth creation and/or a statement of advice focused on your more immediate financial needs. We will need to verify the information you provided during the Discovery Session by requesting supporting documents such as loan and savings account balances, payslips, etc. This ensures we are using highly accurate information when developing our recommendations.

Step 5

Implementation

This step is all about implementing the recommendations. We don’t just provide the recommendation; we take responsibility for helping you implement it. This could involve helping you to complete application forms, working with a broker to restructure your lending, or finding you suitable investments. We understand you’re busy, so our goal is to make your financial world as easy as possible by doing as much as we can in-house for you. However, ultimately, we never have access to your money and cannot sign anything on your behalf, so you need to be an active, willing, and ideally enthusiastic participant in this process.

Step 6

Ongoing Service & Reviews

This is where the real fun begins—managing and tracking your long-term financial success. We have periodic reviews to ensure your strategy is still appropriate if your goals or circumstances have changed. We adjust when necessary and provide annual snapshots so you can see your progress over time. Most importantly, you have your very own trusted Personal Financial Adviser available anytime to help with the little or big stuff. Worried about making next month’s mortgage repayments? Call us.
