Taking up residence and compulsory registration

Buying real estate in New Zealand
Rules and restrictions
Certain restrictions apply to foreigners when buying real estate in New Zealand. It is important to find out in advance which rules apply to your situation. Buying a property in New Zealand does not automatically grant residency.
Financing and property types
Houses in New Zealand are often built of wood and are usually financed with bank mortgages. Banks treat financing requests from non-residents differently, so good preparation and advice are crucial.
