Portfolio Planning and Advice

When is the right time to buy (or sell)? Which areas or types or properties are best for me to pursue? How many properties can I afford to purchase with my equity? Should I use a company, partnership or Trust to run my property investment?

The answers will be different for every individual at various stages in their property investment journey. Each and every one of those considerations is crucial to get right and can have major implications.

We are renowned for expert property advice and planning, and are our clients trusted source for helping steer them in the right course for all things property.

Property Development

A successful property development is never a fluke but rather a well-planned exercise. It’s vital to get the cost budgeting, financing, planning and expected return calculations right in order to be confident you are making a smart decision.

Tax rules can be ambiguous and confusing too – sometimes a property development does not attract tax upon the sale profits, but in many cases they do. The thresholds to determine this can be very blurry as well.

For advice on subdividing on developments whether minor work on your back section, or if you are considering buying land with the intent to subdivide – talk to us to help with getting your numbers right and to make sure you are well informed about your tax position and obligations.

Commercial Property

The rules have been tightened on residential property investment in recent years by the government of the day, which has seen a natural increase in commercial property investment.

Commercial Property investments are more stable in nature with less peaks and troughs in those real estate investments. The returns are more stable and predictable and there are less IRD clawbacks or restrictions, which allows a far more generous proportion of expenses to be claimed and offset against your income.

This may be the right investment for you!
