Compare the Details Before You Enquire

Use this public directory to compare location, price guide, property type, bedrooms, and developer details. Before signing anything, get independent legal and financial advice so the contract, deposit terms, sunset clauses, and settlement timing are clear.

Why Consider a New Build?

Lower Deposit Options Available

Many new builds allow you to buy with as little as a 5% deposit, including options like the First Home Loan. Buying off the plans can also give you more time to save and get your finances ready before settlement.

Builder's Warranty

New builds come with warranties covering structural defects and workmanship, giving you peace of mind for years to come.

Energy Efficient

Modern building standards mean better insulation, double glazing, and efficient heating - saving you money on power bills.

New Build Buying Checklist

Essential steps to follow when purchasing a new build property in New Zealand

Before You Start

Get mortgage pre-approval to know your budget
Research the developer's track record and reviews
Understand the difference between house & land vs turnkey
Check if you qualify for the First Home Loan (5% deposit)

Before Signing

Have a lawyer review the sale and purchase agreement
Understand sunset clauses and your rights
Check what's included in the build (fixtures, landscaping)
Review the building warranty and what it covers

Frequently Asked Questions

What deposit do I need for a new build in New Zealand?

New builds often have more flexible deposit requirements than existing properties. Many first home buyers can purchase with just a 5% deposit using the First Home Loan scheme. Some developers also offer 10% deposit options with the balance due at settlement, giving you time to save while the property is being built.

What is the difference between house and land packages and turnkey homes?

A house and land package means you purchase the land and building contract separately, often requiring a construction loan with progressive payments. A turnkey home is a completed property where you pay the full amount at settlement, similar to buying an existing home. Turnkey is simpler for first home buyers as you can use a standard home loan.

What warranties come with new build homes?

New builds in New Zealand typically come with a Master Build Guarantee or similar warranty covering structural defects for up to 10 years. This provides peace of mind that major issues will be addressed. Always check what specific warranty is offered and what it covers before purchasing.

How long does it take from signing to moving into a new build?

Timelines vary significantly. A completed turnkey home might settle in 4-6 weeks. House and land packages or off-the-plan purchases can take 12-24 months depending on the construction stage. Always factor in potential delays and have a backup living arrangement if needed.

Can I use my KiwiSaver for a new build deposit?

Yes, you can withdraw your KiwiSaver funds for a new build deposit if you meet the eligibility criteria. You must have been a KiwiSaver member for at least 3 years and be purchasing your first home. For house and land packages, you may be able to use KiwiSaver for both the land deposit and construction costs.
