We offer lending solutions to help you into a home or support housing on Māori land. Whether you’re buying, building, or improving your home, our options are designed to meet your needs with care and flexibility.
Anglican Financial Care has been offering mortgages since 1973, helping clergy and our scheme members into homes they can truly call their own. Our lending approach is values-based, focused on people rather than profit. Whether you’re purchasing a home, buying land, building a new home, or refinancing, our mortgage options are designed to meet your needs with flexibility and care.
Anglican Financial Care recognises the unique challenges of building and owning homes on Māori land. We offer specialised lending solutions designed to support members and whānau navigating the complexities of lending for a home on Māori land.
Our approach is values-based, providing flexible and culturally aware options to help you secure funding for building or improving your home on whenua Māori.
As a specialised lender, Anglican Financial Care offers finance only to people within our approved borrower groups. Lending is limited and may occasionally be paused if demand exceeds capacity.
You can apply for finance if you are:
We do not provide finance for investment or rental property purchases. However, if you are clergy living in church-supplied housing, you may rent out your mortgaged property until such time as you are ready to live in it.
If you’re clergy within the Wellington Diocese but are struggling to meet the deposit requirement, you may be able to borrow up to 10% of the purchase price through the Stewart Trust. This can be used to top up your deposit and make home ownership more achievable.
This could mean your total lending could be 90% of the value of the property with a registered valuation, or 80% with a council valuation.
To find out if you qualify, please speak with the diocesan office.
