New Zealander's love housing, and one could say we have all gotten carried away....
So before you take that massive financial leap into the frenzie of the Taupo housing market do yourself a favour. Do your due diligence with a certified builder and don't buy a house that's about to cost you more than you bargained for.

Get a building inspection, the money is minor compared to the repair work you may encounter down the road.
Understand the laws around investment property's you intend to rent, a large amount of homes don't meet the healthy home standards, you will have to bring it up to standards this could be costly.
Look past the quick paint job and check what's it hiding.
Plumbing and electrical are your large expenses check what condition they are in. Talk to a local building company if you are considering taking on bathroom renovations.
Take your time when viewing homes don't be distracted by those around you, get your property information before hand.
Remember not to get carried away but be critical, the fear of missing out could turn your dream home ideal into a devasting experience, and nobody wants that.
Use the Taupo builders who are professionals. That's what we are here for.
