No deposit house sale, with 5 years to settle

Leslie from Woolston

I am selling my house . its a 4 bedroom , 2 bathroom home in woolston . Its on trademe as listing number 1499031099.
10 steam wharf lane .
So here the deal I am thinking of.
The house has a registered valuation of $420k and a purchaser could make an offer of that value of $420k and settle the sale in 5 years.
I would want the prospective owner to sign a lease for that 5 years . Then after the five 5 years they need to get themselves a mortgage (say with kiwi saver deposit?) and settle up for the house .
There would be some other conditions as well. But the important understanding is this is not a rent to own scheme. You are not paying extra rent to build up a deposit , but you will be paying a premium rent.
You dont need a deposit in this deal. You will need to come up with the 420k in 5 years or something else acceptable to me at that time.
I expect the deal would best suit young people just starting out who need a house now but wont have a deposit (but should have one in say 5 years )
The purchaser gets to lock the price in now , and pay that price in 5 years.
The house is going up at 3.5% a year and will be worth in the order of $500K in 5 years , but the price will be $420k.
The canny will have already realised that they could buy and sell the house and make $80K

get in touch if you want more details. At his time I have not worrked all this thru and would be ahppy to talk about the idea with any interested party.
cheers

“Giggly girt! Giggly girt!”

“See I got my hair cut on Friday. I've got my hair band to keep it up. See? Like this I keep it up.

Biscuit Blair - she's my favourite woman. And you. And that cheeky lady over there.

My last name is Rule. I'll write it down for you, you silly old duff.
I was born on West Coast. I moved here when I was a little girl.

I like doing pictures here that’s why I like pictures. Doing art. I like going for a walk. I come here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

My sister, I go see her on Saturday. Have a cup of coffee, at home. She's five, nine. 59. I'm five, seven, 57. This year I'll be 58. My birthday's on a Thursday. I'm having chocolate cake and pizza. And lolly ice cream.
Some people are noisy. Nicholas, and Peter and Chris, they are my friends and that giggly girt over there.

I get headache sometimes at other work, because noisy.

I'm happy here. I could go for a walk if I want to. I'm good.”
