Sound familiar?
Most people we talk to feel the same way before they start.
You don't need to have it all figured out before you come. That's what the night is for.
What we'll cover on the night
Everything from saving your deposit through to getting the keys, in plain English.
Your deposit options
Alternatives to 20%, low-deposit lending, and how family can help without putting themselves at risk.
Making KiwiSaver work
How the first home withdrawal works, the timing, and what to check now so it's ready when you are.
What banks really look at
Income, spending, debts and credit, and how to put your best application forward, even if you've been declined.
The process, step by step
Pre-approval to settlement, the common pitfalls, and what's happening in the Hamilton market right now.
Plus: live Q&A with our advisers
Bring your questions, nothing's too basic. You can ask out loud or send them in anonymously.
Take home: [First Home Buyer Guide]
Every attendee gets [the guide / checklist] to work through at home.
This evening is for you if you're:
- Renting and wondering if buying is realistic
- Planning to buy in the next 12 to 24 months
- Saving with KiwiSaver and not sure how to use it
- A couple or family working out what you can afford
- Declined before and want to know what to change

What past attendees say
I would especially highly recommend them to anyone in the neurodivergent community. They communicated clearly, were patient and responsive, and made everything feel manageable without adding unnecessary stress.
I felt genuinely well supported from beginning to end and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, Donna and Hoani!
The whole team are incredibly friendly and supportive throughout, and we always felt in good hands. A special thank you to Jeff and Erana, you have both been amazing to work with. We’re so glad we were recommended Nest Home loans!
Nothing to pay, nothing to sign
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can't make it on the night?
Yes. No ticket price and nothing to buy on the night. [Confirm wording: Nest is paid by the lender if you later choose to get a home loan through us.]
Will I be pressured to sign up for anything?
No. It's an information evening. Advisers stay afterwards if you'd like a chat, but that's up to you.
I'm still a year or two away. Is it too early?
It's the best time. Most of what helps your application happens 6 to 24 months before you apply.
I've been declined before. Is this still for me?
Yes. We'll cover what banks assess and the most common reasons applications get turned down.
Can I bring my partner or parents?
Please do. Tick the box on the form so we save them a seat.
What if I can't make it on the night?
[Register anyway and we'll send the slides and invite you to the next date.]
