OCR & interest rates update – July 2025
The RBNZ has hit a temporary pause on rate cuts, holding the OCR at 3.25% on 9th July—and leaving us hanging just a fraction above neutral. It's the outcome the market was broadly expecting, but was it the right call? Not according to Squirrel founder, JB.

My partner and I were looking to purchase our first home, we had no idea what we were doing and the amount of information we were accessing seemed very overwhelming. We made some enquiries about brokers, made an website and were put in touch with Basil. He simplified the process right down for us, was available every step of the way and after a number of false starts, we moved into our new home yesterday. Couldn't recommend these guys more. Especially Basil, who I am now referring to anyone who I know is looking to start their home ownership journey.

Our advisor was knowledgeable and good at explaining the options. At what can be a quite a stressful time (making a property transaction), he brought patience and clarity which helped us achieve what we wanted to achieve. We are very happy with the result. Thanks Squirrel!

Kat was amazing at working with us through a very challenging process due to health issues of one of the applicants.
