flat The Credit Crunch Solution - The Attractive Alternative! The current global liquidity problem is having a huge impact on the ability of property investors to buy property. At the moment developers need investors more than ever but the problem is investors are unable to raise the money to invest and so the cycle continues. The 2008 credit crunch has produced and will continue to produce some of the best buying opportunities we have seen for over 15 years. Cash rich and deposit bond investors are going to be sitting pretty in years to come as they buy now property that developers are struggling to sell, often at huge discounts. Everything is on sale and you do not want to be the one that misses out. So why is the Deposit Bond so attractive for off plan property? Buying off plan property involves securing a property with a cash deposit and then waiting months maybe even years for completion. By using Deposit Bonds, the buyer avoids the need to put up the cash deposit that would normally be required to secure the property. When closing time comes the purchaser will come up with 100% of the purchase price using finance and cash. Simply put, the buyer will defer the cash required now, allowing them to keep their funds working for them. The project below is a property bond investor’s dream. Purchase in the first stage of Calibre and save between $50,000 and $100,000 Stage one of three is available for purchase now and offers sophisticated two bedroom apartments at an excellent price point for central Christchurch. The next two stages will be priced $50,000 - $100,000 higher than stage 1. These apartments will not be complete until 2010 so this is a fantastic opportunity for off plan investing with little or no money down. Calibre is located in the well known suburb of St Albans; close to central Christchurch. It is a multi apartment development with stylish features, full security systems and generous outdoor living. Priced at $325,000 - $330,000NZD (£120,000 - £122,500) these apartments offer great value for money and include two car parking spaces, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dryer, as well as FREE window furnishings. Pay only £200 now, nothing else until 2010 with deposit bonds The developers have agreed to pay the cost of the deposit bond so you could secure an apartment in Calibre today with only a £200 application fee and pay nothing else until 2010. If you elect to pay with a cash deposit all that is required is 10% of the property’s cost. This money stays secured in a lawyer’s Trust account until the development is completed. The rental guarantee means hassle free investment for you until 2011 The developers have such confidence in this development that they are offering a one year rental guarantee to see you through the initial renting phase. This is your chance to acquire a stylish investment property with no hassle for three years.

The location, style and exclusive offer of Celestion makes this an excellent investment option! 10 Key Reasons Why you should invest in Auckland and New Zealand * Interest rates at an all time low - cashflow positive deals * Demand/supply - The demand for Auckland rental property is exceeding supply. The increased costs of building in central Auckland have caused many developers to cancel or postpone projects * Building consent numbers have fallen by 22 per cent and are still falling. Tony Alexander, Chief Economist of the Bank of New Zealand says they are at their lowest level since the early-1990s and a homes shortage will start to show later next year * By 2021, Auckland will be home to over 2 million people * Ranked 5th best city in the world - 2008 Worldwide Quality of Life Survey * Host to the 2011 Rugby World Cup and the 2015 Cricket World Cup * These factors will contribute to the next phase of the property cycle, as rents rise and interest rates fall, property prices will increase * No Capital Gains Tax * No Stamp Duty or land tax * No Inheritance Tax in New Zealand There is no better time to buy than now. Auckland has some outstanding fundamentals for excellent long term capital growth. The Credit Crunch is Good News for New Zealand. Why ? you might ask * Supply and Demand - New property development has reduced significantly due to the credit crunch but the demand for inner-city property is growing with a consequent shortage of accommodation in Auckland expected * It is a buyer’s market and developers are currently offering additional incentives, as illustrated above * Interest rates - interest rates are on the way down. They are already at an all time low. This will be an added bonus for NZ property as many properties will become cash flow positive. * The NZ dollar is now weaker than last year, which improves your purchasing power. Property is cheaper to purchase * Credit crunch will not last forever * The Rugby World Cup is set for 2011 which will provide a unique rental opportunity for landlords We often get asked should I buy now or wait until the property market hits the bottom of the cycle. The difficulty in answering this question is that no one ever knows when we are at the bottom of a property cycle and, more often than not, people wait until the market is actually rising again before they invest. The problem with investing in a rising market is that developers are happy to wait before they sell as demand will always be greater in a rising market. So the best time to buy is when the market is falling and developers are very keen to attract investors. The current financial turmoil has created the best property investment opportunity for over a decade so please don’t wait too long because you will miss out. Remember a rising market is just around the corner so these prices and additional benefits are not going to be around for long.

Napier & Hawkes Bay The Hawke's Bay region encompasses the area around Hawke's Bay on the east coast of the North Island. The region is well known for its sunny climate, sheltered coastal plains and long-established vineyards. It is also one of the country's largest pip fruit growing areas. Napier, the main city of the region was razed by earthquake and fire in 1931, and rebuilt in the art deco style fashionable at the time. What makes Napier so special is that it has one of the largest concentrations of Art Deco buildings in the world. A unique attraction is the Cape Kidnappers Gannet Sanctuary, the largest mainland colony in the world. It can be reached by 4WD vehicles, tractor and trailer, unimog or four-wheel motorbike, and at low tide on foot. The Art Deco Walk is a permanent attraction, but each February there is the Brebner Print Art Deco Weekend, a not too serious celebration of the art deco style of Napier. The Hawke's Bay vineyards are mostly within a short distance of Napier and Hastings cities, with over 30 open to the public for buying the local wines. Many vineyards operate cafes and restaurants in both indoor and outdoor settings. The region is especially known for its fine Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties. Broker Details Ross M.

commercial Caniwi Lodge & Chalets, a Lakeside Country Estate in Taranaki is for sale. As a statement of class this property in a beautiful sheltered valley, not far from the township of Eltham in Taranaki, has it all. The majestic cedar Lodge is elegantly positioned in an impeccable setting of park like gardens with extensive lawns and the 90 acre farm of the highest caliber is enhanced by woodlands of exotic and native trees. The farm grazes cattle and would suit horses, deer and horticulture including grapes and olives if the new owner desires. The property has its' own boatramp and jetty on Lake Rotorangi, arguably the best wakeboarding and waterskiing lake in New Zealand. Guests use the glassy waters for kayaking and experience the tranquility of this remarkable wilderness in paradise.Facilities at the Lodge Four Star Plus and Enviro - Bronze Qualmark rating Lodge private guest rooms with Dining room and LoungeWonderful gardens and expansive lawnsFour Chalets overlooking the lake and countryside.Kayaking and boat cruises on the lake for guestsSpa Pool and BBQ areasFarm Walks, Croquet and Clay bird shootingGames room with Pool Table and DVD librarySuitable for Corporate retreats and weddingsCaretaker residenceFully operational farm with reliable incomeThe Farm The current owners graze dairy heifers for a local farmer and the year round income from this is of a reliable nature. The farmland is well manicured and suitable for other income means if desired. The farm walks are a wonderful pastime for guests of the Lodge. The pet pig " Mini " is the best of garbage digestors to be found. Brokers Comments One does not get to see this type of Lakeside country retreat that often in New Zealand and the Caniwi Lodge & Chalets certainly does have a class of its own. This property is ideal for corporate retreats and weddings and with a travel time from the city of New Plymouth of just over an hour, it is within easy reach for guest arrival. My initial thoughts were that the property would be an ideal integrated resort with the inclusion of more chalets in different positions on the many farm lookouts with luxury cabins amidst the cedar and redwood trees that are themselves a wonderful feature leading to the lake side. Perhaps the setting up of a network of golf cart driveways that would link up the lakeside jetty, The farms outer reaches and the Lodge facilities and accommodation units would be a way to go. To stay the way it is with a new owners flare and creativity also appeals. Eltham & Taranaki New Zealand's success as a dairying nation has many links to this rural town. Chinese businessman Chew Chong exported the country's first butter from Eltham to England in 1884. He also built the first dairy factory in 1887. Historically, Eltham has been the most highly industrialised town (per capita) in New Zealand and currently has a small population of 2100 with a range of shops and services. Today, cheese is the town's main claim to fame. Visitors to Eltham can enjoy the charming Victorian and Edwardian buildings; the walk around beautiful Lake Rotokare, which is fed by natural springs; and the chance to buy locally made gourmet cheeses. Protected by a proud snow-topped mountain, steeped in historic significance and pounded by the restless Tasman Sea, this is a region that's impossible to ignore...a sacred place like no other. First inhabited by ancient Maori attracted to its warm ironsand beaches, rich soil, prolific wildlife and venerable sleeping mountain...then by eager European pioneers keen to secure a piece of fertile country for farming...Taranaki is a veritable melting pot of cultures and lifestyles. Populated by descendants of ancient Maori through to early immigrants from Britain, Ireland, Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, China, India and many other countries, Taranaki is an ideal blend of New Zealand's past, present and future. You'll still get a cheery wave from farmers and a hello from power walkers along New Plymouth's coastal walkway, but you can also enjoy contemporary food and entertainment, plus a glimpse into New Zealand's energy future via Taranaki's fast-paced oil and gas industries. Taranaki is not just a place where cows lactate in the midday sun and oilrigs spring up suddenly from lush green paddocks. It's also a destination of rich arts and crafts, adrenaline-fuelled outdoor activities, spicy lattes overlooking the sea, quaint country hotels, large-scale music events, invigorating walks and mountain trails. Stretching from Mokau in the north to Waitotara in the south and Whangamomona in the east, the Taranaki coastline takes in more than 200km of swimming, walking, surfing, diving, kayaking, fishing and exploring opportunities...offering everything from ancient Maori cave carvings at Tongaporutu, the Sugar Loaf Marine Reserve off New Plymouth and popular Opunake Beach with its annual carnival, to Patea's clash of river and sea, the majestic White Cliffs at Pukearuhe, and desolate foam-edged swimming beaches than seem to stretch forever.
