Buying in Auckland on a work visa
My pal has just made the jump to NZ last week, on a work visa. His intention was to buy a house straight away (or as soon as poss), but the bank told him he can't buy until he has PR.
Is this correct?

We bought a house with a mortgage on a work visa our bank knew and didn't have a problem with it.

I think he needs to shop around a bit. Which bank did you go to?

Not true - anyone can buy NZ RE. Within restrictions but most houses would be fine.

Hi,
We bought 2 properties whilst on a tourist visa, come to think of it I don't even remeber the bank checked.
Regards,
Simon
