New build home under construction by Stonewood Homes in New Zealand

Building your first home is a big milestone, and at Stonewood Homes we’re here to make the journey easier every step of the way. From finance flexibility to trusted guidance, we give first home buyers the confidence to turn their dream into reality.

  • Lower deposits made simple

    At Stonewood Homes, we understand how important that first step onto the property ladder is. With deposit options as low as 5–10% on new builds, we make it easier for first home buyers to get started sooner.

  • Borrowing power that works

    Because new builds aren’t restricted by Debt-to-Income (DTI) limits, you may be able to borrow more. Our team will guide you through the finance process, helping you unlock options that fit your budget and first home goals.

  • Flexible repayments

    Building your first home should feel exciting, not stressful. That’s why we offer flexible repayment options during construction, so you can focus on the journey of building while we handle the details.
