Lower Deposit Pathways for New Builds – Find Out More
Regulators have allowed you to build a brand new home with less deposit than it takes to buy a used home. Minimum deposit requirements can range from 10 - 20% depending on whether you want a land and build package, want to design your own home, or want a turnkey build. Turnkey homes are currently very popular, requiring a minimum deposit of just 10%.
Even investment land and build properties require a lower deposit, as low as 15%. And the best news is that while existing investment homes are no longer tax deductible, an investment build is able to have the interest costs deducted with the IRD - that's a whopping savings of up to 30% on your interest costs.

Turnkey and other finance options
Broadly speaking, a "turnkey" is a process of delivering the completed home rather than a type of loan. Most banks like to promote "turnkey" because they are not required to fund anything until the home is completed, bypassing all the work to assist in getting the home completed. The key benefits of the turnkey process is paying a deposit (normally 10%) up front, and not starting the mortgage payments until the home is completed. This avoids the hard bit about a construction loan that requires you to pay your rent and a construction loan at the same time.
For most people, owning a brand new home is the dream but paying rent (or mortgage) while you are building plus paying the construction loan interest is simply unaffordable. Talk to NewBuild to find the solution that fits your needs. As brokers, we can look at your lender options and help you with the best loan to get you into your new home.
Owner-occupied or investment?
The current regulations encourage building. If you’re planning to build an investment property you can continue to offset interest costs — a huge benefit!
Owner-occupied or investment?
New investment properties require a lower deposit than buying existing, as low as 15%. And better still, while existing investment homes are no longer tax deductible, an investment build is able to have the interest costs deducted with the IRD - that's a whopping savings of up to 30% on your interest costs. You can also use the equity in your current home as deposit.

Have you seen the interest rates?
Through NewBuild you have access to competitive floating and fixed interest rates. This can save you thousands on interest costs during your build. You are eligible for these rates with a NewBuild progress payment loan or a turnkey build.
A competitive interest rate is just one of the many benefits of securing your finance through NewBuild. We help you secure sufficient finance to make sure you get all the way to the end of your build project with sufficient funds. Sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how often Kiwis start their build without sufficient funds. A NewBuild broker/adviser can help avoid this pitfall.
