Buying property in New Zealand
When you move to a new country, purchasing a property can help you feel settled.
AI summary
Buying property in New Zealand requires understanding eligibility and various sale methods. An accepted offer creates a legally binding sale and purchase agreement.
Thorough due diligence is crucial. Investigate potential issues like leaky buildings, problem materials such as Dux Quest piping, and natural hazards using a LIM report. While agents must be fair, they work for the seller, so build a support team including a lawyer and property inspector to protect your interests and guide you through the process.
