Hi Sinead,
This website may be helpful for all thihgs regarding rents. Check it out http://www.dbh.govt.nz/housing/tenancy/Market-Rent/market%20rent%20region.aspHi Sinead,
We met on Saturday at the seminar.
We are finding it difficult to decide which area to focus on. How are you supposed to know where to begin? We are seeing an accountant on Tuesday to get all of our structures in place and then are keen to start buying, but need to make a choice on which area to target.
It all seems very daunting. We have been visiting the propertytalk.co.nz forums, which have also been a great help. I guess we just read as much as possible then go for it!!Well here’s my view on LIM reports.
North Shore City Concil charge $200 and you have to allow 10 working days from the time of application going in. Futuresafe, who carry out building inspections will provide a LIS report AND a building inspection for around $400. The LIS (Land information Survey) report is exactly the same as a LIM but these guys can turn them out in about 4 days. This has the advantage of a builder on site who is also checking the file for you.
If you want to inspect the file, you have to call the council to order it (they keep them off site) and allow 48 hours for them to get it. You can get the file on disc for about $30. The council have been known to make errors on LIM reports.
Hope that is helpful.
