Whether driven by cultural values, financial considerations, or the desire for closer family connections, this way of living is becoming increasingly popular.

Recently, adviceHQ was featured in a Trade Me article by Gill South highlighting the financial and practical benefits of multigenerational living. As more families face the rising cost of living, pooling resources can provide access to larger, more desirable homes while ensuring security for each generation.

adviceHQ specialise in helping families navigate the complexities of financing such arrangements, ensuring that both long-term goals and immediate needs are met.

If your family is considering multigenerational living, reach out to see how we can help you structure your finances and plan for the future.
