Free Mortgage Review with your local Mortgage Broker
If your loan is coming up for renewal this would be a perfect time to get your mortgages reviewed, have a chat with the Benchmark Team if you are worried about increased mortgage repayments and rising interest rates.
With all this doom and gloom, you may have also asked when would be the next time I could go on a holiday, or should I waste my savings on a holiday if the repayments go even higher?
If you are asking yourself these questions, you are not alone, and there are many Kiwis on the same boat; let's face it, we all love a good holiday.
Now would be a perfect time to get a mortgage 'health check' to see how your mortgage is and if you can free up cash flow or your options in saving interest, don't let your mortgage take control of your lifestyle. There are always options available to you; all you have to do is talk to an expert.
I am more than happy to have a casual chat no costs involved.
Don't let the doom and gloom stop you from having your next holiday!

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.8% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
