Tough times ahead for mortgage holders but they won't have to go it alone. The Reserve Bank has issued a warning about negative equity where people owe more than the value of their house.

Kiwibank has around 30 to 40 customers a week asking to make changes to their mortgages, CEO Steve Jurkovich says that's not a huge proportion of their customers overall.

He told Mike Hosking the housing market has been through a radical shift.

Jurkovich says it went from 35 percent growth to a 15 percent drop.
