Fix, Landbank, Build New? - "As Is Where Is"

With options galore here, you take your pick!

After 26 happy years, the vendor is now residing in a retirement village. This creates an amazing opportunity to snap up a real bargain in a prime location. The two-bedroom cottage would benefit from re-levelling and modernising but you might choose to simply landbank - sections in this part of town are like hen's teeth. No claims were lodged for damage resulting from the EQ sequence post-2010, but a floor level survey commissioned by the owner shows 90mm variation and corresponding visible damage is compelling. The property is currently insured, but in its current state it is unlikely that cover would be offered to the successful purchaser. The property is being sold on an 'as is' basis and your own due diligence is recommended.

This property is located in a Residential Character Area and is a prime location for someone wishing to build a new dwelling in keeping with the charming villas surrounding the property. This section of about 625 sqm could be an amazing blank canvas.

Zoned for Papanui High School, on the doorstep of Malvern Park, and only a short drive to the city centre and Merivale village - this might just be the best buy of the year. Enquire today!
