AI summary
This home buying checklist outlines the key steps for purchasing existing homes and new builds. The process starts with securing finances, including KiwiSaver funds and mortgage pre-approval.
Due diligence is critical. For existing homes, get a building report and LIM. For new builds, perform developer due diligence and check building specs. The pre-settlement phase for new builds requires maintaining tidy finances until completion. Both paths conclude with a final pre-settlement inspection before you celebrate.
