Can you afford a home in NZ?

What would a decent garage cost to build roughly 60m2 on a flat section?.

Did the valuation take into account having to live next to your current neighbour?

An interesting read on the topic.

Most of student rentals for sale down this way are basing sale/asking prices on the return from the flat anyway. Many are asking double RV quite happily. If it's pulling in $700/week then it's going to be $450,000 regardless of the state of it.

I got a quote from Totalspan 12 months ago for a 6 x 9m steel frame, two roller doors on long side and one pedestrian door on end with a couple of windows, a night on the pi*s below $20k. That included all foundation work, slab, kitset, construction and drainage to ground level (spouting and downpipes only)

Family member recently got a rental in Dunners for sub 150k, can't go wrong, much.

Well put it this way... it's not rented by students, so that's a start right?

Definitely
