Ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes in a New Zealand real estate deal? Or what you should actually ask when you walk into an open home?
Grab a cuppa and join me for a brilliant chat with my good friend (and top Taranaki real estate agent) Anjie. We're pulling back the curtain on exactly how to buy a house in New Zealand. This isn't theory, it's the real, practical advice you need, from what a bedroom legally is, to navigating auctions, and understanding the one thing you must NEVER forget to ask.
If you're moving to NZ, buying your first home, or just curious about how it all works, this is the honest, no-jargon conversation you've been looking for.

📌 KEY TOPICS WE COVER:
The crucial difference between buying in the UK vs. New Zealand
Understanding "lim reports," covenants, and asbestos cladding
Why you should always register at an open home
How to figure out a property's true value when there's no price listed
The real cost of marketing a house and what it means for you
What your lawyer does vs. what the agent does
How interest rates and the "bright line test" are affecting the market
💬 CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS:
"It's our job to know what the lay person doesn't know."
"Integrity is everything. If you haven't got your own name, you haven't got anything."
"The market is the buyers, not what I think it's worth... it's what somebody's prepared to pay."
On that cheeky offer: "They'll take 200? No, she was working for herself. She wanted the sale."
