We must get the confirmation from your Kiwisaver provider in the form of a letter they give to us.
Please ask them for a ‘Kiwisaver First Home Withdrawal Estimate Letter’.
This usually takes no extra forms or information, beyond identifying yourself to them. They should then provide this letter within 1 business day or so.
Note: If the provider gives you a form to complete that includes solicitor’s details required or a form to be signed by a justice of the peace/solicitor, then it is likely that the provider has suggested the wrong form to you. These are for a later stage, once we are approved and find the property we want to buy.

Please note that for the purposes of confirming your Kiwisaver to be used towards your first home, we cannot use
