Locals Helping Locals

Taranaki Home Loans was started to save locals money on their loans and make the whole process simple and clear. A home loan isn’t something you set and forget. It needs to be reviewed and managed to make sure it continues to work for you. That’s what makes us different.

Choosing the right interest rate is more complex than it looks. Our background in senior banking, finance, and strategy means we know how the system works from the inside, from pricing models and rate setting through to cashback offers. We use that knowledge to help you make smart choices and keep saving money over the lifetime of your loan.

We also understand that a home loan works best when it fits comfortably into your lifestyle. With deep experience across accounting and financial management, we give clear, practical guidance on structuring repayments and managing money in a way that supports your goals.

We work for you, not the bank. That means we compare options, cut the jargon, and handle the admin so you can focus on finding the right home or investment.

Our approach is built on trust, knowledge, and being part of the community we serve. Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, building, or investing, your journey’s in good hands.
