What do you want from a finance blog?
We’re guessing that you want good information about all things finance related.
That’s what we have been told, and therefore we do our best to provide updates on a wide range of topics. We help a lot of first home buyers and have New Zealand’s most popular Facebook Group dedicated to them. We also deal a lot with new build finance and non-bank finance as well as the major banks.
We also like to add some stories too as these often help explain how our mortgage advisers can help.
We are proud of the information that we publish in both our Kiwi Edition Market Reports and our finance blog, and we hope that you can find useful information too.
Please use the “search” function below, or feel free to Contact Us with any questions too.
