    Hi Daniel…

    If you want to live in a place where you think it would give you peace but that's not away from work. Look for an target area first where you want to have House and land. Where you think you can stay comfortably.

    Here are some of the tips in buying a property:

    1. Do some research – research on the surrounding areas and how much property in the are recently sold.
    2. Prepare yourself financially
    3. Make a structure survey
    4. Be patient
    5. Location is just as important as property

    i think the area is quite big enough.. well, i prefer two storey  house..in  that case  you can place another bedroom upstairs  .. it can also minimize the space ..

    hmmm, my advice is that  for now , you'll    hang onto it and rent it out or just keep living in it and find money from elsewhere to start   … i think you can have other  solutions  unto your problem rather than  selling your house. .     why don't you put up some business .. ?

    ozharp,

    if that's want you really want , then go for it..!   there's nothing wrong with your   decision  for new zealand is a nice place to live in..

    i  have some info here..hope it can help you

     

    New Zealand's Tax Regime for Property Investment.

    New Zealand has no sales tax on property or mortgage transactions. The only direct property taxes are property rates which are levied by local Councils to provide Council services such as roads, water, rubbish collection and community services such as libraries. Rates are based on the value of the property and would vary between NZ$1500 and NZ$3000 per annum for a typical median value house.

    New Zealand allows unlimited deductiblity of property losses against other New Zealand income, obviously including rental income. This includes depreciation of buildings and fittings. If there is no other New Zealand income to off-set the loss then losses are carried forward.

    Other deductions typically made by New Zealand property investors are:

    • mortgage interest, not capital repayments
    • insurance of the property
    • property management fees repairs and maintenance; but not improvements, these have to be capitalised and depreciated.
    • accountancy fees
    • valuation fees
    • bank fees
    • property rates
    • lawyer fees associated with financing, not purchase of the property
    • relevant magazines, books at fees for Property Investment courses
    • reasonable travel and expenses for managing property portfolio – your next New Zealand holiday could become a tax deduction!
