Loans for tiny homes
As New Zealand house prices and the cost of living continue to rise, we are seeing an increasing interest in tiny home finance. Many people now see them as an affordable alternative to traditional housing, but arranging loans for tiny homes can be challenging. Where do you start?
Tiny home finance is an area which has fallen through the gaps with traditional banks. As these structures are not viewed as homes, they are not eligible for mortgage funding. Consequently, raising finance can be difficult, but we are here to help. Issues such as income, security, loan duration and even the tiny house NZ rent to own option may be on your mind. As a responsible lender, we would welcome the opportunity to sit down, discuss your situation and arrange affordable finance. While a traditional New Zealand house may be out of reach for many people, a tiny home could be a viable alternative.

Freedom to move
One of the main benefits of a portable tiny home is that many do not require building consent from local authorities. Legally recognised as caravans more than homes, there are significant financial benefits. For example, there is no need to commit yourself to expensive long-term leases and you also have the freedom to move whenever and wherever you want. There are websites now connecting landowners with tiny homeowners looking for a place to stay. Many modern day tiny homes are seen as eco-friendly, minimising power usage and maximising energy capture through solar power. There is a lot more to your modern day tiny home than meets the eye! Investigate the cost of a loan for tiny homes today and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Tiny home finance interest rates
In recent years, we have seen the emergence of tiny house NZ rent to own schemes. These are long- term rental arrangements where an element of the monthly rental will go towards the long-term purchase of your tiny house. The scope and details of tiny house NZ rent to own schemes will vary between lenders. However, for those looking to acquire long-term accommodation, this is a very interesting option.
Example of tiny home finance
As a tiny home is considered as a vehicle by many commercial banks, mortgage finance is often out of the question. Here at Alternate Finance, we would consider using the tiny home as security against borrowings. Depending on your income, credit rating and the required funding, we may require additional security and/or a guarantor. These are issues we will discuss during the application process to ensure any finance agreement is affordable.
Planning your tiny home?
While DIY tiny homes are different, pre-built tiny homes tend to have a three-month lead period for design, planning and construction. Securing tiny home finance before ordering your tiny home will give you scope for negotiation and the opportunity for cost savings. Cash is still king!
Security for tiny home financing
When considering your tiny home finance application, we will look at income, security and the potential use of a guarantor. If you are able to provide a deposit, this would reduce the loan to value ratio and help with the approval process. As a responsible lender, it is important to find the right deal which suits all parties. The more security you can provide, the less risk and the lower the interest rate. It is as simple as that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my Kiwisaver account to finance a tiny home?
While the majority of mobile tiny homes benefit from falling outside of planning consent regulations, this means you can’t use your Kiwisaver account. Even though this would be a “home” it is recognised as a mobile home/caravan. However, you may be able to use your Kiwisaver account to purchase land upon which to place your tiny home, an option worth investigating.
