Educating and empowering Kiwis to invest in quality new-build property

Invest in your Future

Most Kiwi’s will not have sufficient savings to fund their retirement. NZ Super, Kiwisaver and personal savings will not be enough. Many Kiwi homeowners with mortgages to pay, do not have cash to invest; they need to leverage and invest in property to grow wealth.

Investing in new-build property has so many advantages over older properties that Kiwis are not aware of! What you need to know:

The New-Build Advantage and The equiti Advantage

Don’t be a landlord with an old house. Be a professional investor with a new build.

Step 5 - Under Construction

Time to let the builders do their thing and build your property!

  • Most of the properties that equiti sell are off-the-plan or a development that is under construction.
  • So, this is when you sit back and let the builder complete your property. 
  • Rest assured you will get regular updates on the progress of your property.

Outcome - A stress free process, once you’ve  gone unconditional there is generally nothing for you to do, until you get the go-ahead from the builder that your property is nearing completion.

Too easy! 

Post-Purchase Support Programme
1 - 12 months

Step 6 - Pre-Settlement

Getting things sorted in plenty of time keeps the stress levels at a manageable level.

  • Approximately 90 days out from the expected completion of your property we re-engage with you and your mortgage broker to ensure everyone is 'on point' for the upcoming settlement
  • We provide Pre-Settlement Checklists and 
    Introductions so you can start to prepare for the settlement of your property, well in advance.

Outcome - You have plenty of time to get your ducks in a row with check lists and support so you can  glide into the settlement of your property.

Stress free admin!

Post-Purchase Support Programme
1 - 12 months

Step 7 - Settlement

You are about to officially be a Property Investor! Lets bring it all together for you.

  • In the weeks leading up to the settlement of your property we provide 'hyper care'. 
  • We help with liaising with external parties such as property managers, valuers, mortgage brokers, building inspectors and chattel valuers.

Outcome - With equiti as your 'go to people' leading up to settlement you can have confidence that everything is sorted before you settle on your property.

Keep the stress levels down, at a stressful time! 

Post-Purchase Support Programme
1 - 12 months

Step 8 - Post Settlement

Now the dust has settled, the tenants are in…. what do you do now?

  • Once you’ve had a chance to catch your breath and get comfortable with what it's like to be a passive investor you can start to think about your next investment property.
  • We call this being an 'active holder', where you don't sell but  are looking to build a property portfolio, over time. 
  • So, maybe 6 months after you've settled have a chat with your mortgage broker, asses your equity gains and financial position and work out when you can start to look for your next investment property 

Outcome - Use your learnings from your first investment and give yourself the chance to set you and your family up for a successful future.

Financial success gives you options to choose the live you want to live!

What Buyers and Advisers say about us

"I recently bought my first investment property through Equiti and worked with Hamish throughout. He provided excellent advice, great service, and made the whole process stress-free. I was able to leverage Equiti’s strong relationships with developers and builders, securing the best deal and making things much easier than going direct. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hamish and the team, and I’ll definitely work with them again."
Ryan
Investor, Auckland
“The Equiti team were fantastic to deal with. My client who was looking to purchase their first investment property really wanted to educate themselves around location, property type, yields etc… and Hamish and the team were very informative providing relevant data and even enabling my client to meet and view developments with the actual builder. I have found Equiti a safe pair of hands in referring clients, they are attentive informative and provide clients peace of mind when making new build purchasing decisions.”
Ari
Adviser, Wellington
“A massive thank you to Hamish (and Jordan) for supporting us (very patiently!) with the purchase of our investment property. We have appreciated your great comms throughout, your honesty, humour and dedication to help us onto the investment ladder.”
Ben and Anna
Investor, Canterbury
“As a Mortgage Adviser I have no hesitation in getting Hamish and the team in to help my clients find a property which is specifically suited to the client. Hamish is very passionate and experienced in what he does. Equiti genuinely are wanting to help my clients achieve wealth through smart property investments. Highly recommend and trust Hamish and his team with my clients.”
Matt
Adviser, Wellington
“We had a brilliant experience with Hamish as he helped up navigate the purchase of our first investment property. Given we were novices, he gave us a great understanding of the things we needed to consider before making a decision and was very responsive when we had questions. We really appreciated the honesty and transparency that Hamish provided throughout the process.”
Dean and Kelly
Investor, Canterbury
“Working with Hamish and the team at Equiti has added so much value to our service offering. Having access to great properties and an experienced team to guide our clients provides another wealth building pathway. Having the team at Equiti there to support our recommendations gives us the confidence to encourage our clients to consider property as part of their financial strategy. We know they will be in safe hands and that means everything to us. We consider Equiti to be an extension of our team and are delighted to be working with them.”
Nikki
Adviser, Southland
"I just wanted to reach out and say a great big thank you for all your support and calmness through the process of buying our investment property with you. You were always there ready to answer any question that we had which made the whole process extremely smooth. Buying an investment property was a new experience for Gary and I and also a very scary one. However, your professional manner and knowledge shone through. I would certainly not hesitate to recommend you to my friends or family. Surrounding myself with good people like you is the one recommendation I would give to others who were interested in buying an investment property. Thank you again, and I hope to work with you in the future."
