If you have an existing Back My Build variable rate conditionally or fully approved application, you have until 5pm, 8 April 2022 to rollover the 90-day approvals with a Back My Build variable rate. Any rollover of approved Back My Build variable rate applications after the 8 April 2022 will be transferred onto the standard housing variable rate. Where the documentation deadline of 8 July 2022 is not met then you will receive ASB’s standard housing variable rate.
Before you get started, talk to us about your finances and which options will work for you. When it comes to loan type and repayment plans, one size doesn’t fit all. Enjoy the freedom of a revolving credit, or make budgeting easier with a fixed home loan - whatever works best for you.

Only available on term loans for building a new residential home. After the Back My Build Variable Rate period our Housing Variable Rate will apply. As the building work progresses, you’ll not only have the joy of seeing your house take shape, you’ll also have to pay your hard working tradies.
Our experience has given us many insights into building a new home. You can chat to one of our residential construction lending specialists about where to buy land, who to use as your builder, and what kind of development finance you will need. In the first instance we will always recommend Bank funding up to 90%. If this is not feasible Non Bank lending will require a higher deposit or additional security or a guarantor, possibly only during the short construction period. No interest or loan repayments required until the property is completed and settled. With a ‘Turn Key Contract’, you’re essentially having a house built for you and project managed by a developer.

You’ll get an ANZ Home Loan Coach to support you through the buying process. Plus, we have a range of helpful tools available to you throughout your home buying journey.

Looking to fine tune the structure of your home loan or work out how much you could borrow?
This ensures you can be confident in searching for that perfect section, or talking with local build companies with a clear budget in mind. Building a new home isn’t subject to the RBNZ loan to value restrictions. As a specialist mortgage broker I know that this would be frustrating and I also know how to work around it so it does not become a problem. When we built our own new home recently we moved into the new home once the house was completed, but well before we had the Code of Compliance Certificate . Our house was completed just before Christmas so waiting for the CCC could have meant waiting for over a month and maybe closer to two months. Sarah recently contacted me to ask a question about their finance.
What kind of build project suits you?
Before committing to a particular home loan product, check upfront with your lender and read the applicable loan documentation to confirm whether the terms of the loan meet your needs and repayment capacity. Use Canstar’s home loan selector to view a wider range of home loan products. 2High LVR loans are only permitted for a new build with a single fixed price contract that specifies a completed, ready to live in property. We may require you to protect against loss of deposit, non-completion and workmanship risks with a satisfactory insurance product. To allow for these staged payments, construction loan providers will give you prior approval for the eventual total loan and let you draw down the required payments as they’re due.
It could also mean you pay more if your house takes longer than expected to build or if costs increase during construction. Don’t forget to read this bit All interest rates are subject to change without notification. TSB’s current account opening criteria, current lending criteria, terms and conditions, fees and interest rates apply. Your own cash contribution will be used first, then as major phases of the build are completed, payments will be drawn down from your loan and paid directly to the builder. You’ll pay a deposit up front, and then when construction is finished you’ll pay the balance, so you don’t need to worry about making progress payments throughout the build. A Homestar rating recognises design elements that enable homeowners to keep their homes warm, dry, well ventilated and resource efficient.
If you need a loan to build a new home, the amount you can borrow depends on the value of your home, the type of your construction contract and your ability to repay the money. The loan is progressively drawn down as the builder invoices you. The money is usually paid direct to the builder or supplier and you only pay interest on the amount you’ve drawn. Use the calculator below to get an estimate of how much your repayments could be. Enter the loan amount you are considering borrowing, the interest rate and the period of time in which you will pay off your home loan .
New investment properties require a lower deposit than buying existing, as low as 15%. More than likely you will get a new build that is on a far smaller site or piece of land which creates the margin for a developer but the actual floor area for the home may be large. A lot of this will ultimately depend on the developer and construction company to ensure the deadline and budget is hit. Prices have gone up dramatically across New Zealand for buying existing homes that have good size land therefore new homes builds have become popular. After the fixed rate period the Housing Variable Rate will apply. When you’re building, progress payments are made to your builder in stages.
And if you’re signing a building contract, be sure to talk to a lawyer and to us first. The lawyer can check that the contract is fair and doesn’t have hidden surprises or risks. We can check that the contract will work with our loan terms and with your available funds. That way you can be sure everything’s in order before committing. Whether you're building or renovating, an ASB home loan can help.
Existing Back My Build variable rate approvals that expire after the 8 April 2022 can be rolled over but must use ASB’s standard housing variable rate. Make sure your finances are all lined up before you commit to signing a building contract. You also need to make sure the timing of payments will work with your loan agreement. The team at First Step Home Loans can help with all of those details. This form of contract is only best for those experienced in the ins-and-outs of construction and are limited to the land value only unless the buildings are already permanently fixed to the land.
So I’d say that the average cost of a normal house is now creeping towards $3500m2 and to budget on that figure as an absolute minimum. However, the average price of an entire new build increased less, by 3.45%, from $368,667 to $381,404 . For although nationally the average size remained pretty static, 156m2 in 2020 to just 155m2 in 2021, in some areas the downsizing was more pronounced, see below for more details.
With BNZ a loan approval is valid for 90-days and can be extended for another 90-days, meaning you have 180-days to have the build complete before needing to get an updated application done by your mortgage broker. If you’re looking for the cheapest personal loan, Canstar’s personal loan comparison tables can help. The table below displays the sponsored unsecured personal loan products available on Canstar’s database for a three-year loan of $10,000 in Auckland, with links to lenders’ websites. Use Canstar’s personal loan comparison selector to view a wider range of products on Canstar’s database. With so many banks in New Zealand, there are many options for building contracts and each of these banks treat their building loans differently.
It may be possible to qualify for a 10% deposit construction loan, particularly if the contract has a fixed price with minimal PC sum costs. As the estimated PC sum costs increase, the home loan provider may reduce the amount they’re prepared to pre-approve, so there is an allowance for the increasingly likely cost over-runs. A Fixed Price Contract is where a builder provides a single fixed ‘all inclusive’ price to complete a build deal. Your builder will manage the whole building project including getting consents, working with architects/designers and organising all subcontractors. Thus taking over all management until a code of compliance has been issued, then you will have a property for the bank to use as security. We will work closely with you helping and advising on steps and processes that will need to be considered before building starts.
