Apartment buying in NZ
The insider's guide to smarter, savvier property purchases
AI summary
Buying an apartment in NZ involves securing a 20% deposit (or more for units under 50sqm), getting mortgage pre-approval, and engaging a property lawyer. Apartments offer affordability and prime locations but often have less space and privacy.
Crucial due diligence includes reviewing body corporate health, understanding the ownership type (unit title vs. leasehold), and getting a pre-purchase inspection. Be aware that apartments under 50sqm can be harder to get finance for, so always check with your lender.
