About this Event
Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, especially when finance, legal requirements and the property-buying process all need to come together.
This practical 90-minute evening brings together three local professionals to help Christchurch first-home buyers understand what to prepare, what to look out for and what questions to ask before purchasing their first home.
We’ll cover mortgage and finance preparation, KiwiSaver and deposits, the legal process, finding the right property, making an offer and negotiation.
The evening is designed to be practical and informative, with time at the end for your questions.
