Are you a first home buyer? Looking to get into the property market? Needing help with your deposit?
Kainga Ora’s First Home Partner is a shared ownership scheme to help aspiring first-home buyers.
If your deposit and loan aren’t quite enough to buy a home that meets your needs, you may be eligible to purchase a home together with Kainga Ora.
How will this work, here is an example:
Your deposit: $100,000
Bank approval for $600,0000
Kainga Ora Contribution: $200,000
Purchase Price: $900,000
If you want to know more about how this works and start the process please give me a call on 021-0822-6113 or flick me an email manshil@benchmarkmortgages.co.nz
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
