About

Founded On Experience 

Hamish Cowan created equiti after noticing that many Kiwis are keen to invest in property, but struggling to find property that met their investment goals. Buyers don’t know what to buy or who to turn to for advice and support.

Drawing on this experience, he created an independent real estate business allowing buyers and external affiliate partners to search for and purchase properties that meet their requirements.

equiti work in partnership with buyers and affiliate partners to help Kiwi’s buy well-priced, high quality, new build properties within their means, to help them grow their wealth over time. To do this, buyers need trusted, independent professionals, the right property advice and the right properties.

Enter equiti – we have created a collaborative ecosystem that empowers Kiwis to invest in new build real estate – with confidence!

Property Investing With Purpose

 

We’re here to help solve two of New Zealand’s biggest challenges: too many Kiwis aren’t set up for a secure retirement, and there aren’t enough quality homes for our growing population.

Most New Zealanders are worried about retirement savings, with many expecting to work past 70 to fund their lifestyle. At the same time, there’s a nationwide shortage of well-built homes—across social, transitional, and private markets—which isn’t keeping up with demand.

At equiti, we believe you can build long-term wealth through smart property investment. Our approach is simple: invest in quality, affordable new builds, hold them for the long term, and grow your portfolio when you’re ready.

By empowering Kiwis to invest in new build properties, we aim to help grow personal wealth while contributing to New Zealand’s housing supply. Together, we’re building a better future—for you and for our country.

That’s what we call Property Investing With Purpose.
