Turn Plans into Reality
At Greenline, we help you secure the funding needed to break ground confidently. Our construction loans cater to a variety of building projects, from residential homes to larger commercial developments. We understand that each construction project has unique financial needs, which is why we offer flexible solutions to support your build from start to finish.
Our construction loans feature flexible drawdowns, allowing you to access funds as needed throughout the construction phase. This helps you manage cash flow effectively, drawing money only when required to pay for each stage of your build. We also offer interest-only options, minimising your payments during construction. You’ll only pay interest on the amount drawn down, easing financial pressure while your project is underway.

The deposit amount can vary depending on several factors, including the property’s value and the type of loan you’re eligible for. Traditionally, most banks require a 20% deposit. However, options are available for lower deposits, sometimes as low as 5-10% of the property’s value. For example, if you’re looking at a $500,000 home, a 20% deposit would be $100,000, while a 10% deposit would be $50,000. Remember that a lower deposit often means you’ll pay more in interest over the life of your loan.
At Greenline, we can help you explore various deposit options and find the one that best suits your financial situation. Ready to discuss your deposit options? Book a call with one of our expert advisors today.
Low-deposit loans can be accessed through various means, and one significant source is Kāinga Ora, a government agency dedicated to making homeownership more accessible for Kiwis. Kāinga Ora offers the First Home Loan, allowing eligible buyers to purchase a home with a 5% deposit. This is significantly lower than the standard 20% required by most banks. The loan is underwritten by Kāinga Ora but provided through selected banks and lenders.
At Greenline, we have extensive experience with Kāinga Ora programmes and other low-deposit options. We can assess your eligibility, guide you through the application process, and connect you with participating lenders. Want to explore your low-deposit loan options? Contact Greenline today for a personalised assessment.
