New build investments.
New properties are increasingly accepted by investors as a high-quality, low-hassle, cost-efficient alternative to buying an existing home and doing it up.
Why build new?
Modern homes, stronger returns, less work.
Low maintenance
A well-built new home comes with a 10-year builder’s guarantee, keeping maintenance to a minimum and protecting your cashflow.
Less deposit required
Under current RBNZ rules, investors need a smaller deposit for a new build than for an existing property.
Better depreciation
Chattels depreciation is higher on a new build, lifting your cashflow during the first 10 years. A chattels valuation maximises the benefit.
Healthy homes compliant
New builds are designed to meet Healthy Homes legislation from day one — no retrofitting, lower heating costs, safer for tenants.
Popular with tenants
Warm, dry, modern homes attract good tenants and keep vacancies low — which keeps your yield on track.
Today’s price, tomorrow’s value
You typically don’t pay in full until the home is finished, so any capital growth during construction accrues on the value of your asset.
Add it up — lower maintenance, strong rents, tenant appeal and good capital-growth potential — and buying new is an appealing investment choice for many.
How it works
Buying off the plans, with backup.
Buying off the plans means you enter a contract with a developer or builder to buy a home based on a specification, which is then built. There’s a lot to review — we help you understand it all and make sure the purchase stacks up as an investment.
Before we look at properties, we take time to understand what you’re trying to achieve and that you’re set up to buy. Only then do we present options that match your goals.
Over the years we’ve built a network of trusted developers who understand property investment. We’ll also introduce you to independent mortgage, legal and tax advisors so you have the right team around you.
