Poll: Is street parking fair game?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

💰 The Journey to Your House Deposit – Made Simple! 🏡
Saving for a home deposit might seem like a big mission, but with the right strategy, you’ll be unlocking that front door in no time! 🚪✨

What’s a House Deposit?

It’s the upfront amount you pay when buying a home calculated as a percentage of the total property price—usually 10% in NZ and 20% in Australia. It’s your ticket to getting that mortgage and securing your dream property!

Top Tips to Grow Your Deposit Faster

💡 Budget Like a Boss – Track your income, spending, and savings. Little tweaks can make a big difference! Look at areas where you can cut costs without compromising your lifestyle.

🏦 Automate Your Savings – Set up automatic transfers to a dedicated account. Out of sight, out of mind, but growing!

💰 Look Into Government Schemes – First-time buyers, there might be help available—don’t leave free money on the table!

📈 Get Smart with Investments – A financial advisor can help you make your savings work harder.

Beyond the Deposit – What’s Next?

🔍 Find the Right Property – Research locations, property trends, and future growth potential.

🏡 Sort Your Mortgage – Talk to a mortgage broker to find the best loan option for your budget.

Patience Pays Off!

Saving for a house takes time, but every dollar gets you closer to your dream home. Stay focused, get advice when needed, and before you know it—you’ll be stepping into your very own place! 🔑

Remember, the key lies not just in reaching your financial goal but in embarking on a homeownership journey that aligns with your aspirations and sets the stage for a secure future.

I am selling a PP50 Airline Approved Pet Carrier.

Size: 82L x 56W x 60H cm
This size is recommended for medium-sized dogs (e.g. spaniels, beagles, spitz, etc).

These cages are not only suitable for travel, but they can also be excellent pet beds or comfortable homes for dogs and cats.

The crate pictured has only been used to transport a medium-sized dog for a return trip with Jet Pets between New Zealand and Australia.

It is spotlessly clean and in excellent condition and fitted with water funnels for international travel. It has no missing parts, and all sections are securely connected.

It is designed to meet the standards of IATA (International Air Transport Association) for transporting live animals domestically and internationally with international airline approval. They are Australian-made and extremely durable. The pictured crate example is stamped with ‘Qantas-approved’.

These crates usually have recommended retail prices between $250.00 to $399.00.

Own your Online website is part of the New Zealand government's work to raise understanding of cyber security issues for individuals and businesses, they have shared a message about a new scam that is targeting Kiwis.

Own Your Online say:
We are seeing a significant increase in reporting of ‘Hi Mum’ scams.
A ‘Hi Mum’ scam is a scam where a random message from an unknown number is sent to you claiming to be from a close relative, usually your son or daughter.
The fake relative often claims their phone is broken – which is why they’re contacting you from a different number – and will ask you to do something, sometimes asking you to help them with a payment or to do something by clicking a link.

If you receive one of these, don’t click the links. Try to contact your relative using their normal number which is probably still working.
You can also report these scam messages by forwarding free to Department of Internal Affairs on 7726
