Kāinga Ora First Home Partner scheme makes it easy to buy your first home. For some people, even when they have the help of a first home loan – which lowers your required deposit to just 5% – the deposit value may still be just out of reach.

The solution to this is that Kāinga Ora can make a contribution towards the payment of your home. For example, let’s say Kāinga Ora contributes 15% towards the home, they will then receive 15% ownership of the property, too.

The way in which the First Home Partner scheme works is different for everyone and depends on:
1. How much deposit you have.
2. How much the bank will lend you.
3. What contribution Kāinga Ora makes.
