- what to do if you don’t have a 20% deposit
- proving your salary whether you’re self-employed or an employee
- how to increase your assessable income
- how to handle your KiwiSaver pre-purchase
- exactly how much Credit Cards affect your income
- all about apartments, existing homes and newly constructed homes
- how much mortgage to ask for
And much, much more!

Not sure whether now’s the right time?
Imagine being able to buy a house years ahead of when you expected to be able to. If houses continue to grow at their current rate, you could save over $100,000 on the purchase price by buying 2-3 years earlier.
You may be ready to buy sooner than you think.
Now is always the best time to get all your ducks in a row.
About Me
Hi, my name is Rupert Gough and I’m the founder and CEO of The Mortgage Lab, regular contributor to OneRoof and the author of “The Successful First Home Buyer”. I live in Tauranga with my wife and daughter.
Over the year, I’ve worked with hundreds of first home buyers to get them into their first home. The journey from application to purchase is amazing and something I truly love.
I created this course with the hope to educate an even greater number of first home buyers, like yourself. To have them ready to apply for a mortgage and into their first home sooner than they ever felt possible.

We had the most awesome experience, we had been trying to buy a house for the entire 2020 and used a number of mortgage brokers but each asked more and more from us. They wanted us to cancel our KiwiSaver deposits and cancel this and that. We were about to give up when a friend told us about Lynne and w…

I am a middle-aged single female buying a first property in Christchurch post-COVID lock-down; the most difficult market to not only get finance but actually get a property to put an offer on! My excitement quickly turned to agitation, anxiety and straight out confusion.

Kyn is an excellent mortgage broker, he made my first home purchase a breeze. Despite the strict lending criteria (LVR etc.) on low square metre Auckland CBD apartments, Kyn worked really hard to find a finance solution that would work. Would recommend him as a broker and adviser to all. Cheers Kyn.
