A Different Way to Own a Home in New Zealand

Home Now Finance arranges specialist finance for New Zealanders buying tiny homes, cabins and relocatable dwellings, new or used. If a standard mortgage doesn’t fit the home you’ve found, or the land it’s going on, this is exactly the part of the market we work in.

Buying a first home. Downsizing for retirement. Putting a place on the back of mum and dad’s section. Making better use of land you already own. Whatever’s brought you here, we help you finance the dwelling itself, separate from who owns the ground it sits on.

Tiny Home Loans for Homes That
Don’t Fit a Standard Mortgage

Banks are set up to lend against land and buildings as one package. Tiny homes and relocatable dwellings often work differently: the home can move, the land can belong to someone else, and the transaction looks nothing like a conventional house-and-section purchase. That’s exactly the gap Home Now Finance was built for.

We structure finance around the dwelling itself. In practice, that means someone with access to land they don’t own outright still has a genuine route to owning the thing sitting on it.

New and Used Homes

We finance new and used tiny homes, cabins and relocatable dwellings. See our Tiny Home Loans page for the full detail on how that works.

Lower Deposit Options

A five-figure deposit is the single biggest wall between most people and a conventional house purchase. Our lower deposit options bring that wall down for eligible borrowers.

More Than One Reason to
Choose a Tiny Home

Home ownership doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone reading this. For some it’s the first rung on the ladder. For others it’s a smaller, easier place for retirement, somewhere near whānau, or a second dwelling on land that’s just sitting there.

First Home Buyers

A tiny home is a genuinely lower price point into ownership, without the cost of a full house and section.

Retirees and Downsizers

Less space to maintain, more independence, and often the option to live closer to family.

Papakāinga and Family Land

Have permission to place a home on family land? We finance the dwelling itself, so you can own your own home while staying connected to that whenua.

Investors and Additional Dwellings

Considering another dwelling on land you already own, for family, rental or accommodation? We can help you finance it.
