Finding Home – A First Home Buyer’s Journey
Jack and Emily*, a young couple in their late twenties, were eager to take the leap into homeownership.
However, like many first-time buyers, they were unsure about where to start.
With various options available and a plethora of information to sift through, they felt overwhelmed and uncertain about the process
Frequently Asked Questions
How much deposit do I need to buy in Ashburton?
Most first home buyers can get started with a 10% deposit — but if you can stretch to 20%, you’ll usually get better rates and fewer conditions.
If you’re buying an investment property, you’ll typically need at least a 30% deposit. That’s because of Reserve Bank rules that limit high-LVR loans to investors.
We’ll explain what’s required based on your plans, your KiwiSaver, and whether a First Home Loan might be an option.
Can you help if I’m self-employed?
Yes — if you’ve been trading for at least two full years and have financials to support your income, we can help.
Different banks treat self-employed borrowers in different ways, so it’s important to structure your application right from the start.
We’ll guide you through what’s needed and match you with lenders who understand your industry.
What’s the first step if I want to buy in Ashburton?
It starts with a quick phone call. We’ll help you:
-
Understand how much you can borrow
-
Plan your deposit, KiwiSaver, and costs
-
Work out repayments and bank options
-
Get pre-approved so you can start viewing properties
You can also try our mortgage calculator to get a rough idea of repayments.
Is it better to use a mortgage broker or just talk to my bank?
Your bank can only show you their own options — but as a mortgage broker, we compare multiple lenders to find the best fit.
That means we can often negotiate sharper rates or a more flexible structure.
We’ll also manage the paperwork and explain everything clearly, so you’re supported from pre-approval to settlement.
What’s the Ashburton property market like?
Ashburton has a mix of affordable family homes and lifestyle blocks, with strong demand from local buyers, tradespeople, and those relocating from Christchurch.
Popular areas include Allenton, Netherby, Tinwald, and Lake Hood. You can view listings on realestate.co.nz or see trends on the Ashburton District Council website.
Do banks lend on rural or lifestyle properties near Ashburton?
Yes — but banks often have extra requirements for lifestyle blocks or homes on larger sections.
Things like zoning, services (e.g., water supply), or the presence of income-generating buildings can affect lending.
We’ll help you figure out whether it’s bank-lendable and what steps you need to take — including whether a registered valuation or LIM will be required.
Not in Ashburton? I also help buyers in Rolleston, Rangiora, and Christchurch.
