Buying a property - finding the perfect investment
When it comes to purchasing an investment property, there are several things to take into consideration.
Buying an apartment or other unit title property is a significantly different prospect than buying a house, so you will need to think carefully about the pros and cons of each, as well as the type of tenant you want to attract.
For example, you may need to budget for Body Corporate levies or consider your property's location with regard to schools, cafes, restaurants, beaches and other amenities.
Your LJ Hooker agent is ideally placed to provide you with in-depth knowledge about your local area. With franchises located across New Zealand in major towns and suburbs, we offer years of experience with local markets.
From start to finish, we can help you through every stage of your property transaction - as well as the subsequent responsibilities associated with letting a home or apartment.
Property investment specialists
Once you have chosen your investment property and made your purchase, LJ Hooker can help you manage your new house or apartment.
Agents can assist you with every step of the process of arranging a tenancy, from helping you to attract a tenant with an excellent rental history to managing tenancy and condition reports.
Private investors may not have the detailed knowledge for the huge range of scenarios that can arise over the course of a tenancy - or the legal paperwork that may be required as a result. A professional real estate agent can help you navigate these issues as and when they arise and ensure all requirements are met.
Your LJ Hooker agent can also ensure you remain up-to-date with current conditions in the market and can allow you to achieve the best rental price possible. We can also help you find a high-quality landlord protection insurance policy - some of the best ones are generally not available to private investors without an agent managing the property.
