Stunning Lifestyle Home Secured for Australian Family
Rhys and Yvette contacted Martelli Buyers Agents to assist them with purchasing their first home in New Zealand. Based in Australia and moving to New Zealand for work, they were looking for a quiet and safe family home on a lifestyle section. Being in close proximity to Whangarei whilst also having some land was at the forefront of their requirements.
Considering Martelli Buyers Agents are solely focused on Auckland property, it was agreed that if Rhys and Yvette identify a small selection of properties of interest to them, Martelli Buyers would visit all suitable properties, provide a high level due diligence report on each and make our recommendation as to which property we believe suited their needs best.
Through our due diligence process, Martelli discovered that the size of the land which included shared ownership of the driveway and pond area took the property over the maximum size that an international buyer can purchase without OIO consent. This key detail was missed by the sales agent as well as the lawyer. Our due diligence saved our client a significant fine or the potential forced sale of the property.
“Vanessa and Alex at Martelli were absolutely amazing. Buying a home ‘sight unseen’ from overseas is a daunting task but Vanessa handled everything with absolute professionalism and beyond that, genuine care. Vanessa brought an eye for detail and an understanding of the local market that we could never have otherwise had; allowing for a fair negotiation and great outcome. My wife and I are very grateful for the support that we received and would strongly recommend anyone considering engaging Martelli Buyers to so without hesitation.”
