    Hi Kurra

    which island are you going too ?
    email me directly and i’ll put you in touch with some legal people depending what cities you will be in.
    Try to have a good knowledge of where you are hoping to buy before you get to NZ , its actually a lot bigger than you think and you risk running all over the place so have a plan to check out some specific markets. ( which is why you’ve written your post).

    Hi Kowhai,
    Quite a few Australian Mortgage Brokers, Myself included have access to finance for non-NZ residents,
    Rates and fees will vary between lenders; LVR is 80% to 90% subject to Mortgage Insurance policy/guidelines, location etc.

    Fixed rates currently offered by the ANZ in NZ are reasonable at the moment, however their NZ variable rates are NOT competitive at all,
    Lower rates are available for Aussie investors from less well-known lending institutions with cheaper set up costs and no ongoing fees. Hope this helps, cheers.

    hi Steve

    what are the rates on a variable loan with some of these lesser know finance providers ? You are right about ANZ their variable rate is more than their fixed rate ??? Don’t see that very often in OZ.

    Hi Westan,

    So fixed rates being below variable is rare in NZ?

    I would have thought with the US’s deficit the size that it is, and the fact that it has increased rates 6 (or is that 7 now?) times in a row, and with the RBA being so “hawkish” as the media put it that there would be upward pressure on rates.

    If thats the case you would expect more people to be fixing mortgages, and therefore increasing the price of the fixed mortgages above the price of variable mortgages?

    This may be getting slightly off topic – apologies! Any economists in the forum?

    Hi Westan,
    The variable rates with Pioneer are currently 8.25%, I have a few NZ lenders on my panel including ANZ and have found Pioneer to be one of the more accommodating NZ lenders, they currently offer P&I or I,O repayments, a $250 application fee and no ongoing fees, 80% LVR but will lend to 90% LVR subject to LMI policy.
    Pioneer also include 80% of current and proposed rental income when assessing an application, Loans are in $NZ.
    Conditional Pre approval is valid for 90 days and in most cases this will be conditional subject to valuation,
    Applicants can organize there own valuations, this can be beneficial if the subject to finance clause in the purchase contract is of a minimal time period and short notice is required for a valuation to be carried out.
    I hope this helps, cheers.

    Hi Westan,
    Pioneer does have fixed rates, however they don’t compete to well with the fixed rates offered by the ANZ.

    I year 7.99%
    2 & 3 years 7.95%
    4 years 8.00%
    5 years 8.05%
    ANZ 1 to 5 years fixed rates 7.70%

    Hi Kurra,
    By the time you read this you will probably be in NZ. I hold a number of properties in NZ, predominantly in CHCH, and as such can refer you to a CHCH based broker, solicitor and accountant who understands what we in the wider investment community want to achieve. Feel free to PM me if still required.
    Cheers.
