This depends on the lender. Most will lend up to 90% of the value of the property including the new advance, however, some may lend up to 100%.

If your property is worth $1million and your current mortgage is $800,000 then some lenders may be able to lend up to $200,000 as a second mortgage.

We can tell you in about 60 seconds. Apply for a home loan online with us and you’ll get an initial decision within 60 seconds. There’s no obligation to follow through with the loan but if you like what you see, you’ll be assigned an adviser who can take you through the next steps and match you with the lender who will provide the best terms for you.

Without a crystal ball, it’s hard to say for sure how long you should fix your mortgage interest rate for. This analysis compared floating with fixed rates from December 2004 to November 2020. They found that one and two year fixed rates worked out cheaper than floating rates or long-term fixed rates.

Splitting your mortgage so that a portion of it has a fixed rate, and a portion has a floating rate is a good way to find get a balance of security and flexibility.

Our online home loan calculator can help with that! Give it a try.

¹Fees: We do not charge a fee to use our service (commonly referred to as a platform fee, broker fee, or referral fee) if you do not enter into a personal loan arranged by us. A fee to use our services is applicable in all other cases. See our Terms & Conditions for the applicable fees.

²Annual Interest Rate (AIR): The AIR offered by our Personal Loan providers ranges from 8.95% p.a. to a maximum of 28.95% p.a.

³Annual Percentage Rate (APR): Also known as the 'comparison rate', the APR is calculated by adding together the AIR plus any additional fees that may apply (like establishment fees charged by providers). New Zealand law does not require APR disclosure, but doing so can better highlight borrowing costs. The APR offered by our Personal Loan providers ranges from 9.80% p.a. to a maximum of 29.91% p.a. The APR is accurate only for the representative example given below and may not include all fees like early repayment fees (if any). Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different APR.

⁴Minimum and Maximum Repayment Terms: Repayment terms offered by our Personal Loan providers range from 12 months to a maximum of 84 months.

Representative Example of the Total Cost of a Loan: If you borrow $20,000 over a repayment term of 36 months at an AIR of 8.95% p.a., your total repayments will be $22,493 (made up of $20,000 principal, interest charges of $2,243, and an establishment fee of $250). This example assumes monthly repayments and does not include premiums for any optional insurances, fees for using our services (if any) or default fees.

⁵Terms and Conditions: Our services are provided in accordance with our Application Terms & Conditions. All approvals are subject to provider credit criteria and responsible lending requirements. The loan amount and interest rate offered will depend on your circumstances, the type of lending required, and the security (if any) provided will reflect the loan amount and interest rate offered by the provider. Provider establishment fees, terms, and conditions apply.
