The number of mult-unit housing developments in Lower Hutt is soaring.
Large sections or pockets lands are being turned into terraced housing and infill housing.
Multi-unit developments in Lower Hutt are now being routinely snapped up off the plans within hours of being listed. Peter Roberts and Makayla Patel (pictured) purchased their house of the plan last year, after finding they could not get a stand-alone home.

On Monday, Labour MP for Hutt South Ginny Andersen, National list MP Chris Bishop, Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry and councillor Deborah Hislop wrote a joint letter to the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) asking it to step in and fund the Airport Flyer bus, so it can continue running to and from the Hutt.
The call comes after Wellington Airport confirmed plans to axe the Wellington-Lower Hutt leg of the route when Tranzit begins operating the service in early 2021 because it was no longer commercially viable.
But GWRC chairman Daran Ponter hit back saying the reality was that many services ran with “zero or one or two passengers”.
“What the MPs and the mayor are saying is that ratepayers should pay for a service that was very poorly used between the Hutt Valley and the Railway Station.”

So, I spent a weekend hitting the open homes and seeing what it's like to try to buy as a solo person. Folks, it's tough out there... As an older, single person, it's really tough. Take a look at how I found "the churn" and let me know how it compares to your experience.
