As a first-home buyer, I was pretty overwhelmed at the start by Squirrel made the whole process feel so much less scary. They explained everything in plain english, was super patient with all my questions and kept things moving smoothly from start to finish. I felt really supported the whole way through. Highly recommend if you're after someone who actually makes the mortgage process make sense!

OCR & interest rates update – November 2025

By John Bolton

And with that, we're (very likely) at the bottom. The Reserve Bank cut the OCR by 0.25% on 26 November—bringing us down to 2.25%, and hopefully giving things the final little push needed to get us back on track. Here's what it means for the NZ economy, interest rates, and borrowers.

When should I refinance my mortgage?

By John Bolton

Refinancing hasn't always been a super popular option among Kiwi borrowers, put off by all the admin involved. But the benefits—like cashbacks and the chance to restructure your mortgage and other debts to get them working better for you—could mean it's well worthwhile. Here's what you need to know.

We were really happy with the advice and service we recieved from Tasmania. Of note was the advice around staying on the floating rate prior to the OCR announcement, saving us thousands off our mortgage so wo lock in the lower rate. Tas was great in following up with us on what we needed to get in and timelines and we would use and recommend him in the future.
