Rising house prices and what they mean for you – Collins & May Law

House prices have increased by a median of $200,000 across the country during the past year.

Collins & May Law is drawing the attention of both first home and experienced buyers to this increase that is likely to impact the time that several people will be able to afford their dream home. Five regions have hit a record high: Auckland, Taranaki, Canterbury and Waikato, being at the forefront of the growth.

Buyers will need to save up longer, prepare more and have a higher deposit when they wish to purchase a house in the country. Due to some changes made by the government to the bright-line test rule and investors not being able to offset their home loan interest costs against rental income anymore, it will be crucial for individuals to have an experienced property lawyer on hand to get the legal support that they need.
