First Home Buyers Guide

Buying your first home is one of the biggest steps you will ever take in your life.

From the outset the process can seem quite daunting, particularly if this is the first time you are looking at purchasing a house. Or it may have been a while since purchasing your own home.

This is where we come in! We have refined the process and developed a simple (and fun!) 1st Home buyers guide to help you on your journey. It will help you step comfortably through the process of buying a house, with lots of little things to consider along the way such as school zones.

We offer this free guide to all our clients, regardless of their experience in buying or selling.

Thanks for all your hard work Scott, we really appreciate your assistance. The 1st Home Buyer’s Guide was so helpful, the guide helped us understand the buying process and at what point of the buying process we were. Thanks again.Rose Brooking

Need some free, no-obligation advice?

Even if you do not feel you are quite ready to purchase, we'd still love you to come and meet with us. We can help you prepare for when you are ready to buy.

Many first home buyers choose to work with mortgage broker Christchurch professionals who can compare multiple lenders rather than approaching one bank. 

Understanding the things that lenders want to see when making an application for finance can ensure you are a step ahead and know what you need to get that "Yes" from your application.

Call us on 0508 466 356 for free, no-obligation advice.

Ready to talk about applying for a mortgage?

That's such an exciting decision and we'd love to be there on your journey! Come and talk to us about your personal situation, finances and goals so we can help you understand what options might best suit you.

We will take you through the process of successfully obtaining finance for your chosen property or get you pre-approved. So you can then start looking at property options.

Once you have found a home, we will go over your options to structure your loan to suit your individual needs. This is one of the most important parts of the process. Structuring your home loans correctly can save thousands of dollars, and months or even years on your repayments. In many cases the typical 25 year principal and interest loan can be the most costly way to pay off your home. However, there are tricks and tips that can help even further.

But don't worry, we'll step you through this so you can easily understand all your options and choose the ones that achieve your goals comfortably.
