Buyer eligibility and licences
The government guidance says New Zealand citizens and permanent residents who are ordinarily resident can buy residential property to live in. Anyone else should read the overseas investment rules first. Agents who market a property should hold a licence from the Real Estate Authority, and the licence fees and application process are published on its website, so ask to see the licence before you sign anything.
Heating, utilities and inspection
Ask for the heating type, running costs and utility connections in every listing, because they matter most in June to August, when the cold tests a home hardest. Look at the floor area in square metres and the land area in m², since listings in New Zealand quote both. A viewing in the warmer months from December to February shows the outside and the grounds well, while a winter viewing shows damp and heating far better.
What to put in your request
- Area or town, such as Hamilton, Tauranga or Christchurch, and your budget in NZ$.
- Townhouse or duplex, number of rooms, floor area and plot size in square metres.
- Condition, heating and utilities, and how you plan to pay.
