Newsflash for First Home Buyers

You may have seen in the media that Kainga Ora has cancelled the scheme offering First Home Grant funds to first home buyers.

If you submitted an application to Kainga Ora prior to 1.00pm on 22 May 2024 and received an approval, this grant will be honoured by Kainga Ora, provided that you settle the purchase of your home within 6 months of receiving the approval.

The ability to withdraw your Kiwisaver to purchase your first home is unaffected.

What do you need to do next? Talk to us and we can help you through the process. In the first instance call Fiona Taylor on 09 837 6832, or email fiona.taylor@smithpartners.co.nz
