they have been offering us mortgages from day one. 20% deposit needed without PR, and 100% mortgages with PR yup to $500k on our salaries. $750k if we had a deposit.

Hope that helps
Well, after calling visiting every single bank in New Plymouth, I finally hit gold with TSB. They let me have a credit card on the condition that I put aside enough cash in a holding account to cover the credit limit. In other words, I had to open a savings account and transfer enough money into there to cover my credit card limit. I now cannot touch that money, but I'm earning 6.5% interest on it, so who cares!

At least now I can buy online!
