ANZ mortgage deposit options

To obtain a mortgage with ANZ, you typically need:

• At least a 20% deposit. If you wish to build a home (to purchase the land and fund the build), use a residential investment property (that you own) as security on the mortgage or buy/build residential investment property.
• At least a 10% deposit. If you’re buying a home. However, there may be restrictions if you have less than a 20% deposit.
• Existing equity. If you have equity in an existing property, you can use this as a deposit rather than saving. For example, if you have a $600,000 house with a $200,000 mortgage, you have $400,000 equity.
• To use your KiwiSaver. If you are a first home buyer and have paid into a KiwiSaver for more than 3 years,
• If you have paid into your KiwiSaver for at least 3 years, you may be able to withdraw all or part of it to help pay for your first house. Conditions apply, so ensure you check these out.
• Cash benefit from ANZ. If you purchase your first home using an ANZ Home Loan, you may receive a $3,000 cash gift. However, your home loan needs to remain with ANZ for a minimum of three years.

Fixed-rate mortgage

When you take out a fixed-rate mortgage with ANZ, your interest rate stays the same for the period you choose. However, ANZ fixed-rate mortgages have varying fixed terms between 6 months and 5 years.

• • Payments stay the same. Knowing exactly how much your mortgage repayments are and when you pay them gives you peace of mind and makes it easier to budget.
  • Locked-in interest rate. You still pay the same amount if mortgage rates go up, though you don’t benefit if they fall.
  • Choice of repayment times. ANZ gives you the option of paying your loan weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Making weekly or fortnightly payments saves you more interest over the life of your loan.
  • Make an extra repayment without penalty. ANZ let you make one payment per year (up to 5% of your current loan) in the fixed-rate period. In addition, it does not charge you for early repayment recovery, which is a fee typically charged if you choose to repay the mortgage earlier than agreed.

Floating rate mortgage

With a floating interest rate mortgage, your interest rate fluctuates depending on what is happening in the market. However, you can switch to a fixed interest rate at any time.

Benefits of an ANZ floating rate mortgage:

• • Make extra repayments. You can make repayments whenever you like without penalty, though ANZ may apply a minimum repayment amount. In addition, you can pay off your loan faster if you get a windfall or bonus.
  • Less interest. Making extra payments reduces the amount of interest you pay over the life of your loan.
  • Fix a portion at any time. For example, if your situation changes or rates rise, you can fix all or part of your loan to give more certainty and peace of mind.

Flexible mortgage

A flexible mortgage gives you a revolving credit facility on your transactional account with a competitive floating interest rate.

Benefits of an ANZ flexible mortgage:

• • No regular payments are required. You are not locked into regular repayments; as long as you stay within your credit limit. Instead, you deposit money to reduce the loan balance and interest. It takes discipline to get the most out of this loan.
  • Reduce interest. By arranging for your salary to be paid into this account, you reduce the outstanding balance and the amount of interest you pay.
  • Access to credit. If you need money for renovations or a new car, you can use this loan’s credit facility and reduce your loan balance when it suits. However, ANZ can ask you to repay the loan or reduce your credit limit at any time.

Healthy Home Loan Package

ANZ rewards you for buying, building or renovating a warmer, healthier and more sustainable home to a 6 Homestar rating or higher.

Benefits of an ANZ Healthy Home Loan Package:

• • Interest-free home loan top-ups. You can spend up to $5,000 on insulation and $5,000 on heat pumps without paying any interest for 4 years.
  • Interest rate discounts. Deposit your full salary into your ANZ transactional account to receive a discount on your home loan rate
  • Fee savings:
    • No application fee and no monthly account fee on an ANZ Flexible home loan
