Step 2: We review your application – Our mortgage team will acknowledge receipt, assess your application, and may request further details. You’ll be notified of approval or rejection, with feedback provided if the application is declined.

Step 3: Find a home – We recommend securing pre-approval before house hunting. It helps clarify your borrowing capacity and makes the buying process smoother. You can also apply for your KiwiSaver First Home withdrawal at this stage. Contact your KiwiSaver provider.

Step 4: Legal preparation – You’ll need a lawyer to assist with the purchase. Our lawyers will work with yours to manage the process. It’s best to speak with a lawyer early so you understand your rights.

Step 5: Settlement day – Once everything is in place, we’ll transfer the loan amount to your lawyer’s trust account. After settlement, you receive the keys to your new or next home.
