All guides in Buying- What a LIM report tells youA LIM report tells you what the council knows about a property, like building consents and natural hazards. You'll learn what's in the report, what it costs and what to check.
- Building inspections before you buyA pre-purchase building inspection checks for problems in a house before you buy. Find out what gets inspected, what could be missed and how to use the report.
- How a deadline sale worksIn a deadline sale, the agent picks a date for offers and usually doesn't set a price. Here's how deadline sales work in New Zealand and how to make an offer on your own timeline.
- First home buyer grants and low deposit home loansMany first home buyers think they need a 20% deposit. You can often buy with 10%, or 5% through the First Home Loan, but a smaller deposit costs more.
