Moving Home Mortgages

Moving house? No problem

Every New Zealander’s property journey is different. You might buy a doer-upper to get onto the property ladder then move a few more times before you find (or can afford) your forever home. Your family might outgrow your four walls so you need to add on or upgrade. Your elderly parents might need to move in, or a new job might mean you have to move out of town. You might buy a rental property or holiday home. A relationship breakdown might mean you need to split assets. And once the kids have flown the coop, you might want to downsize and free up some capital so you can enjoy your retirement.

Threefold’s mortgage broker team has helped countless clients move onto their next property adventure. And because everyone’s property journey is different, our approach to helping you move out of one house and into another, or adding to your property portfolio, is different too.

If you’re juggling a couple of mortgages on different properties, the Threefold mortgage broker team can put together a successful mortgage application to the best bank that works with your situation. Our strong relationships with each of the banks that operate in New Zealand mean that we can compare mortgage interest rates and match you with the right provider, instead of approaching multiple banks and hoping that one of them will say ‘yes’.

The adviser you deal with the first time will be the adviser you deal with next time – and the next. We don’t pass clients from one adviser to another; we value the relationships that we create with our clients and are passionate about seeing them grow and succeed along their property journeys.

It can be stressful selling and buying property at the same time, especially if you’re buying out of town, so our advisers will manage everything mortgage-related so you can focus your attention on your property – and the property you’re eyeing up.

If you’re building an investment portfolio, the Threefold mortgage broker team has extensive professional (and personal) experience. Between us we can help you structure your finances across multiple properties, and connect you with other industry professionals such as accountants and lawyers.

Whatever reason you’re moving house, stress less about property finance with Threefold.

We work with New Zealand's leading lenders to find the right mortgage for you

At their most competitive rates, without you needing to shop around.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a Mortgage Adviser?

There’s no fee for our mortgage advice to you or to have us arrange your mortgage for you. We are remunerated directly by the Lender.

How much can I borrow?

The amount you can borrow depends on how much you can afford to repay and how much a lender will lend on a property. Lenders have different methods they use to work this out. Our calculator on our website can give you a general idea of how much you can borrow (link to calculator). However, it’s better to have a chat with our Mortgage Advisers to get a more precise indication for your personal circumstances.

Can I use my Kiwisaver for my deposit?
  • As a first home buyer, you may be able to make a one-off withdrawal from your KiwiSaver facility. In addition to this, you may also qualify for a Kiwisaver HomeStart grant of either $5,000 or $10,000. For more information, please contact us.

Why is it important to get a Home Loan Pre-Approval before I make an offer to purchase a home?
