Borrowing in Otago: what to know
- Older homes. Dunedin has many older villas and character homes. A building report matters, and lenders look at the condition, any weathertightness issues and the cost of work needed.
- Low-lying areas. Parts of the city, such as South Dunedin, are low-lying with flood and groundwater risk, which lenders and insurers take into account.
- Student rentals. Investors buying near the university should check the healthy homes standards and how lenders will count the rent.
- Meet the way that suits you. In person by appointment with a regional adviser, or by video and phone.
