Accommodation in New Zealand for Migrants
New Zealand have many different options for migrants who enter the country, more and more immigrants arrive each year to work, study and live in New Zealand. Everyone needs accommodation and New Zealand have varied housing options available to migrants. As the country is so big, with vast open spaces which accommodation is best for you will depend on what you are looking for, where your interests lie and of course you circumstances and family situation. There is accommodation to suit every individual in New Zealand.
Migrants have different options available to them
regarding housing. You can choose to rent the accommodation you are looking for
or buy if that is what you would like, many prices for both rentals and buying
are higher than migrants first may think, with a demand for housing brings with
it high prices. The highest bid will win, the prices do vary depending on the
area and size of house or accommodation you are looking at. The kiwi dream is
attainable but be aware that prices are high. Regional differences in prices
are apparent throughout New Zealand, areas of the south island are significantly
lower to both buy and rent compared with accommodation in Auckland.
Most new migrants who enter New Zealand to rent
first rather than buy. As a new person to the country it is best to get a feel
for the area, research and look around, become familiar with different areas
and take time to think about the type of accommodation you want, before
committing to buy. This is what most tend to do and is the wiser option if you
do not know the country or the area. The rental properties in New Zealand are
regulated by the “residential tenancies act” and administered by the building
and housing group within the ministry of business, innovation and employment.
They will provide standard contracts that outline the responsibility of both
the tenant and landlord.
Buying a house is a big decision to make in any
country but in a country that you are new to the decision is a massive one. You
may feel that you want to buy a property as soon as possible, so you and your
family feel more secure. Any decision should not be taken lightly and it is
best not to rush into anything.
Once you are ready to buy a property the whole
system is extremely efficient and very well organised. It is regulated so the
process is fair to both the seller and the buyer.
You can obtain a guide to property valuations and reports which can be extremely helpful and informative.
