The programme is based on the mortgage insurance scheme piloted through Kiwibank, and was introduced today.Eligibility has been widened, and new loan providers have been invited to take part, Housing Minister Steve Maharey said.
With a Welcome Home Loan people can borrow most or all of the cost of a house.
For houses up to $150,000, eligible borrowers do not need a deposit.
For houses that cost more than that, they need to contribute a 5 per cent deposit.
Depending on their ability to meet repayments, people can borrow up to $280,000.
