Apartment Living

Find out more

As the population of New Zealand cities continues to grow, we’re increasingly seeing a change in mindset, with more people considering apartment living. As life gets busy and time becomes more precious, the thought of spending hours maintaining gardens and large homes becomes less appealing.

With so much to explore, both in our own backyard and abroad, there are numerous benefits to the apartment lifestyle. Low maintenance living and shared spaces maintained by the body corporate (lifts, lobbies and gardens), apartments are the ultimate in lock-up-and-leave living.

Feel Secure

An attractive benefit of apartment living is the extra layer of security they offer.

Our apartments come with secure swipe-controlled access, ideal for those looking to downsize or people living alone.

Low Maintenance

Apartments offer the perfect place to call home, that allow you to spend more time doing what you love.

With gardens and property maintenance managed by the body corporate, apartments are the perfect lock up and leave home, allowing you the freedom to head to your holiday home, explore New Zealand or tick off that list of countries on your bucket list.

Quality you can Trust

Fletcher Living, a brand you can trust, has been building quality homes for over 113 years in New Zealand and we’ve applied our wealth of construction experience to each apartment we complete.

We have stood the test of time, so when we say we’re here for you, we mean it.

Modern Living

We’ve considered how you live in an apartment on a day-to-day basis.

Our architecturally designed apartments have been built with meticulous care and attention to detail, all generously proportioned with high ceilings for a feeling of space. The open plan and seamless flow of each apartment has been carefully considered, with effortless flow between rooms and through to outdoor spaces.

Fisher & Paykel appliances, on-trend colour palette options and quality finishes, make these apartments both easy to live in and to care for.

Smart Living

Apartment living is still a relatively new concept to Kiwis who have grown up with the quarter-acre culture. But as our population grows, and urban land becomes scarcer, apartment living is an increasingly smart choice for all stages of life.

10 Reasons why apartment living is smart living.

Off-Plan Buying Tips

Buying an apartment off-plan can often feel like a leap of faith, however, it can be a rewarding experience investment when approached in an informed manner.

Body Corporate Benefits

When you buy a new apartment, you’re investing in a more maintenance-free lifestyle. You can say goodbye to the lawnmower and the ladder. That’s because your Body Corp takes care of the common maintenance, gardening and general upkeep of the property as well.

Apartment Buying Process

1.

Seek Independent Advice

If you’re keen to put pen to paper, we recommend you have a discussion with your lawyer and mortgage advisor / bank before you move forward.

2.

Secure Your Apartment

To secure the apartment of your choice, we’ll draw up a Sale & Purchase Agreement for you to sign.

We’ll take you through this step-by-step and answer any questions you may have.

3.

Due Diligence Period

If you request, we’ll include a 10 working-day ‘due diligence’ condition in your agreement. This is an opportunity for your lawyer to review the agreement thoroughly and for you to do any other homework and simply be comfortable with your decision to move forward.

If you’ve chosen to include a finance condition, this will be the time for you to discuss your finance arrangements with your mortgage broker or bank.

If you decide not to move forward with the purchase during the due diligence period, you can cancel the agreement at any time.

4.

Deposit Payment

Once you are ready to commit fully, your lawyer will satisfy the due diligence and any other conditions - and you’ll make the first tranche of the deposit payment (5%) with a second 5% payment due at the date specified in the Sale & Purchase Agreement.

It’s important to note that deposits are held securely in trust by the Vendor’s lawyer until settlement – they cannot be used to finance the development.

5.

Settlement

The remaining balance of the purchase price is due on Settlement which will occur on the date which is 10 working days after the later of:

the issue of the Code Compliance Certificate and Certificate of Title for the Property;
and a Pre-Settlement Disclosure Statement being provided to your lawyer

Once we receive the funds from your lawyer, we’ll meet you with the keys to your brand new apartment.
