Property in New Zealand has never been as low as property in Europe, namely Spain, Portugal and, more recently, Bulgaria or Turkey. New Zealand has always been on the higher end of the price scale however recently those prices have hit record highs.

If you are thinking of buying property in New Zealand then a buy-to-let investment may be something you consider as the average asking price has raised in 17 out of 19 areas. This is a result of many sellers having faith that the market will stay strong and that buyers will be prepared to pay higher prices.

Price expectations have also soared because there are not enough properties for sale to meet the demand, meaning that sellers can take advantage of this. If you decide to buy-to-let then you can expect a very good return as those who can’t afford or find a property to buy will be forced into renting.
