When we started working with our clients, we knew what we were looking for: a Christchurch investment that delivered strong cash flow, built-in equity and long-term growth potential.
Finding it took time.
We identified and analysed several opportunities along the way, only to miss out as competition pushed prices beyond where we believed the numbers made sense.
But we never gave up.
Rather than buying something simply for the sake of securing a property, we stayed disciplined, kept searching and refused to compromise on the investment fundamentals.
Eventually, that persistence led us to an exceptional opportunity in Ilam, one of Christchurch’s most established and sought-after rental locations.
Then timing became everything.
When the right opportunity finally appeared, our clients were overseas on holiday and travelling between airports.
There was a real risk that after such a long search, they could miss out simply because they weren't here to act quickly.
Calls were made as our clients were waking up, travelling and moving from airport to airport. They relied heavily on us to be on the ground in Christchurch, complete the analysis, communicate the important information and move quickly on their behalf.
After such a long journey, we weren't going to let the right opportunity slip away.
Finding it was only part of the win.
Strong negotiations followed.
We negotiated hard on behalf of our clients, ultimately securing the property at a purchase price well below its market value — creating built-in equity from day one.
The property also achieved an exceptional gross yield of over 8%, providing the strong cash flow our clients had been searching for.
