First home buyer

The home buying process can be challenging. But with the right help, you can move through each step with confidence.

You could get a $5k cash contribution with your first home

If you’re a first home buyer and taking out a new home loan (minimum of $200,000) you could get a $5,000 cash contribution. The cash contribution is conditional on keeping your home loan with ANZ for at least three years. Lending criteria, terms, conditions and fees apply to this offer—. 

The home buying process

1. Planning

The first stage involves reviewing your finances to understand what you can afford and your deposit options, like using your KiwiSaver.
