If you, or perhaps your offspring, are wanting to buy your first home and don’t quite have enough saved, then consider utilising your KiwiSaver™ to boost the funds. In many instances today, KiwiSaver™ funds eligible for withdrawal form by far the greater portion of a first home buyers deposit funds and often the entire deposit amount.

You may be able to withdraw the current value of:

• Your contributions
• Your employer’s contributions (voluntary and compulsory)
• Returns on investment, and
• Any member tax credits.

Provided you leave a minimum balance of $1,000 in your account.

In some cases, even if you have owned a home before, perhaps whilst in a relationship that has since broken down, you may be able to access your KiwiSaver™ to purchase your first home in your name only.
