Re: Auckland house prices
When I arrived in NZ 11 years ago. I bought a brand new house. The idea was, as we knew so little about NZ building codes and standards, a new build to the latest spec was the safest option. A few years later a bought a 100 year old traditional wooden weather board villa. To my surprise I found the villa was much warmer than the new build. It took less to heat and just felt much cosier.

Re: Auckland house prices
Again we're in exactly the same boat! Did our place up to sell not rent. We had one ridiculous offer of 100k under the asking price. We're in South East London. Anecdotely I've hard activity has picked up this year but could also be because people are accepting big price drops.
That's tough having a deadline. Hope somethimg happens on it soon. Do update us if you get a decent offer and give me some hope! We don't have a deadline but having made the decision I'm finding the limbo tough.

Re: Auckland house prices
We've accepted an offer.
Well below the asking price, but a solid buyer and it will enable us all to go to NZ together at the end of September and we now know our Auckland budget.
Thorners - £60k below our original asking price :-(
