We’ll assess your situation and provide you with expert advice on how to structure your mortgage, reduce your payments and ultimately become mortgage-free faster. We’ll also answer those niggly questions, like:

  • What’s the lowest interest rate in market?
  • Fix or float, or a combination of both?
  • Which bank is best for me?
  • Can I avoid break fees?
  • How much could I be saving?

Best of all, in most cases there is no cost to you because we get paid by the banks.

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!

All eyes on interest rates: Key OCR dates to watch for in 2026 & 2027

By Squirrel

The OCR has officially started its transition from stimulatory to more 'neutral' territory, as the RBNZ seeks to strike a careful balancing act between getting inflation under control and supporting our economic recovery. Here are the key OCR to watch out for over the rest of 2026 and into 2027.

By David Cunningham

The Reserve Bank increased the OCR by 0.25% on 2 September, taking us up to 2.75%. It's still having to strike a careful balance—between managing inflation and supporting our economic recovery—but the path ahead looks to be a slow and measured one. Here's what happened, and what it means for NZ borrowers and interest rates.
