Apartment buying in NZ
The insider's guide to smarter, savvier property purchases

AI summary
Buying an apartment in NZ offers affordability and prime locations but involves unique considerations. A 20% deposit is standard, though apartments under 50sqm may require more from lenders.
Key due diligence includes:
- Understanding the ownership type (unit title or leasehold)
- Reviewing the body corporate’s financial health and fees
While apartments are low-maintenance, consider trade-offs like less privacy and building rules. A pre-purchase inspection is essential to check for any potential issues before you commit.
