Total area is 106 Sq Mr of Unit plus it has one carport inside the development. I am sharing plan and few present passing certificates from Christchurch city council and other photographs.
My family members believe this units coming near CBD area and hence suits to first home buyer or investor as rental yield has gone up recently. Recent immigration shows that arrival figure has gone back to pre-covid level and since softness of house price rental yield has increased. Also, as per information, New Build approval have been reduced.
We can show the unit and it will be ready for occupation as code of compliance is expected soon.
