Buying a house is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make

Matt from

Buying a house is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make

What are your non-negotiables?

Before you even turn to Google, sit down and write out your property deal-breakers

* Which suburbs would you most like to live?
* Do you like the neighbouring suburbs?
* Are local schools a consideration?
* What’s the proximity to shops, sports facilities, cafes, restaurants etc?
* What are the dream features of your home?
* Is a garden or balcony important?
* How many bedrooms do you need?
* Do you need a garage?
* Do your desirables fall within your budget?

How much does it cost to buy property
Deposit
How much are you willing to pay upfront to secure your home?
The simple truth is that the more deposit you pay, the more likely you are to get a loan.
Of course, it depends on your lender and their rules, as well as your financial situation.
You may be eligible for government help if you’re buying your first home.

Other Costs
Property inspection reports are not compulsory, but it is a good idea to get a house inspection to uncover any likelihood of hidden costs you have to pay once you’ve bought the property.
We recommend you choose a property inspector who has professional indemnity insurance and carries out their work in accordance with the New Zealand Property Inspection Standards

When you have purchased your new home sit back and relax. You deserve it.

Keeping homes warm with appropriate curtains is essential to maintaining health and wellbeing. Our curtain bank volunteers use their skills to help people living in cold houses. We up-cycle old donated curtains and re-line them before distributing them.

We need volunteers who can sew, and volunteers who can help sort, measure, and pack orders. The curtain bank is open Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning from 9am to 12pm.

Follow the link to find out more and sign up to help families this winter.
