Wanting to buy a property up to $400k
Hello Wellington!
I am a struggling millennial (not a trust fund baby nor an estate agent) who has finally saved up enough to buy a property up to the value of $400,000.
I am putting the feelers out to see if there is anyone out there who would be interested in selling their home privately to me, within Wellington or Lower Hutt. I am not super fussy going in as an entry level buyer but do have the follow prerequisites:
- Preferably a unit or house with enough room for a dog.
- Either 1 bedroom with an office/studio or two bedrooms.
- Close to public transport- saving the planet one less car at a time.
If you have been thinking of selling your property but didn't want the hassle of open homes whilst paying huge amounts to real estate agents please send me a message.
Thanks Wellies.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
