KiwiSaver HomeStart grant
If you're a first-time buyer and you've been making regular KiwiSaver contributions for at least 3 years, you may be able to apply for a KiwiSaver HomeStart grant through Housing New Zealand.
How it works
If you buy an existing home, you can get $1000 for each year you’ve paid into the scheme. The most you can get is $5000 for 5 years.
If you buy a new home or land, you can get $2,000 for each year you've paid into the scheme. The most you can get is $10,000 for 5 years.
Building your own home
If you buy a property with other people who qualify for a KiwiSaver HomeStart grant, you can all apply but the most you can get for one property is:
· $10,000 for an existing property
· $20,000 if you buy a new home or land for a new home.
首先要向承办你的Kiwisaver的银行报备准备提款买房，其次向在地的Housing NZ提交HomeStart grant pre-application form，十个Working Days可以审批出来。
买房/地後，凭契约及其他相关文件，递交正式申请，十个 working days可以拿到补助款！
