What if I am overseas?

Filed under: Faqs

It is easy buying property in New Zealand. Legal documents (particularly mortgage docs) will need to be witnessed by NZ Consulate / 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 ID for each applicant (driver’s licence, Passport)
  • Proof of income (a pay slip, 2 years tax returns, letter from employer,)
  • Statement of Financial Position (in your currency)
  • Three months of bank statements (internet printout is fine,)
  • Sale and Purchase Agreement (Signed and Date; NOT required for preapprovals,)
