Using KiwiSaver for your first home:

If you are a first home buyer you can withdraw KiwiSaver contributions made by you and your employer to use as a deposit towards your new home. You can only do this if you’ve been on KiwiSaver for more than three years.

To be eligible to withdraw some or all of your KiwiSaver you must:

• have been a KiwiSaver scheme member for at least three years;
• be planning to live in the house for at least six months, and
• be buying your first home.

Squirrel HomeBuild – The smarter way to build

For years, homebuyers have had to contend with financing an existing property or paying rent or another mortgage at the same time as making payments against their construction loan. Who can afford to do that? With HomeBuild, no payments are required until the property is finished which makes loan servicing more affordable.

• We can work with as little as 5% deposits (subject to lending criteria)
• There are no progress valuations needed
• No payments during construction
