Buying your first home in Christchurch is an exciting milestone, but navigating finance can feel overwhelming.
Having reached its two years in business anniversary this month, Genesis Mortgages specialises in turning that mortgage finance uncertainty into a clear, achievable path for
first-home buyers.
Searching the internet for advice might lead potential buyers to think they aren’t financially ready, yet structured guidance from the team at Genesis Mortgages could make homeownership possible sooner than might be expected.
“People often think they aren’t ready, but we walk you through every step from what to ask your bank to deposit options,” says director and principal mortgage adviser Khushpreet Sidhu. The team can walk you through KiwiSaver withdrawals, Kāinga Ora First Home Loans, and tailored lending pathways that are right for you.
Khushpreet often advises first-home buyers to avoid guessing their borrowing power or assuming a 20% deposit will be required. From carefully assessing your deposit needs, the team can match buyers with a wide range of New Zealand lenders and build strong applications for low-deposit scenarios. By getting it right the first time, buyers can avoid costly mistakes and prevent settlement delays.
More options, more choice
For first-home buyers, having access to more lending options can make a real difference. Genesis Mortgages works with a wide network of trusted New Zealand lenders, giving buyers the opportunity to compare different lending options rather than relying on a single bank.
The team can also help with low-deposit home loans and First Home Loans, while considering each client’s individual circumstances, goals and financial position. From understanding how much you may be able to borrow to structuring your loan for the future, the focus is on providing clear advice and making the home-buying process easier to navigate.
