My partner and I were looking to purchase our first home, we had no idea what we were doing and the amount of information we were accessing seemed very overwhelming. We made some enquiries about brokers, made an website and were put in touch with Basil. He simplified the process right down for us, was available every step of the way and after a number of false starts, we moved into our new home yesterday. Couldn't recommend these guys more. Especially Basil, who I am now referring to anyone who I know is looking to start their home ownership journey.

Wellington property market update - June 2025

By Nick Virtue

Winter might be upon us, but that hasn't been much of a deterrent for Wellington first home buyers who are still leading the charge—making the most of high stock levels (and a lack of FOMO) on their hunt for the right property. Here's the latest from the Wellington housing market this month.

NZ property market update - June 2025

By John Bolton

With interest rates just a fraction from the bottom, things on the home front (particularly in the South Island) are starting to look up. But overseas, there's a whole raft of factors playing out causing uncertainty and volatility over the future of longer-term interest rates.
