Looking to buy your first home but thought it was years away? Have you been putting off working out if you can afford a mortgage for a little while now? We can help.

For most of us, taking out a mortgage will be the biggest financial decision we make. Recently there has been a shift in the New Zealand housing market. Buyers have more things in their favour, with an increase to house price caps for Kāinga Ora’s First Home Grant and banks opening their loan books to buyers with less than 20% deposit. This means we know it’s easier than it has been for quite a while to make this ‘big’ decision. If you are thinking about buying your first home, we would hate for you to say “could of, should of” in years to come, without speaking to us first. The first step is to download our first home buyers guide.

One of the reasons Meta Financial Solutions was founded, was because we saw the need for better and earlier financial planning for young families and first home buyers in New Zealand. I have a young family of my own to plan for, and nothing is more rewarding than sharing our knowledge to help others achieve greater financial success and security – with the increased options for your future this provides. 

We’ve really enjoyed putting together our First Home Buyers guide ‘First Home MasterPlan’ together – and updating this for 2023. We hope you’ll find it useful!
