I replied to the advert, and met the Aussie agent for this development. He was very enthusiastic about it..surprise surprise! Completion is in July 2007, and prices are from NZ$250K-$300K (The Kiwi $ is about 90cents) His children, lawyer, accountant etc are all buying. It is smack bang in the centre of Auckland, right next door to a Uni, where current rents are about $500pw – this virtually falls within the 11 second rule. (They are NOT serviced apartments).They don’t even require any money down – they will pay the $1000 deposit bond costs for you. All the figures stack up – AT THE MOMENT!!! The situation at completion is the only concern, mainly with the rental markets – $450-$500 pw seems a lot of money for an apartment. I’m still in two minds.
Hi all
How does an aussie go about getting finance for a NZ property? Any recommendations? I heard that you can’t get more than 80% finance.
