It is easy buying property in New Zealand. Legal documents (particularly mortgage documents) will need to be witnessed by the New Zealand Consulate or Embassy or a public notary. Non-residents can borrow up to 80% of a property’s value. We can look after you no matter where you are. The benefit of coming to Squirrel is that we will manage the whole transaction for you, end to end, including working with your solicitor, arranging a building inspection, and arranging a valuation if required. Overseas transactions take longer and we’ll need to do more paperwork. Apply Online Now.
We will need:
- Photo identification for each applicant (driver’s licence, passport)
- Proof of income (a pay slip, two years’ tax returns, letter from employer)
- Statement of financial position (in your own currency)
- Bank statements for three months (an internet printout is fine)
- A sale and purchase agreement (signed and dated; NOT required for pre-approvals,)
