Free School Lunches

Elly from Welcome Bay

Absolutely shocked this morning to hear on the 8am news that David Seymour (Act) is going to stop the free school lunches which Labour had in place because it was an unnecessary cost! During his campaigning he said he would NOT stop these lunches so here we are! Just trust National and NZ First … View moreAbsolutely shocked this morning to hear on the 8am news that David Seymour (Act) is going to stop the free school lunches which Labour had in place because it was an unnecessary cost!

Buying a home in Tauranga isn't just a transaction; it's a chapter in your story.
Buying a home is a major decision, and it's crucial to figure out your must-haves before diving into the process.

Before hitting up the websites, jot down your deal-breakers:
* Pick your preferred suburbs.
* Consider the vibe of neighboring areas.
* Think about local schools.
* Check out the proximity to shops, sports, cafes, and restaurants.
* List your dream home features.
* Decide on the importance of a garden or balcony.
* Determine the number of bedrooms you need.
* Consider if a garage is a necessity.
* Ensure your wishlist aligns with your budget.

Now, let's talk money:

Deposit:
Decide how much upfront cash you're comfortable putting down to secure your dream home. Generally, a larger deposit increases your chances of getting a loan, but it depends on your lender and financial situation.
First-time buyers might qualify for government assistance.

Other Costs:
While property inspection reports aren't mandatory, it's wise to get one to uncover potential hidden costs. Choose an inspector with professional indemnity insurance who follows the New Zealand Property Inspection Standards.

Once you've sealed the deal on your new home, take a breather—you've earned it!

Together, let's turn the key to a future filled with endless possibilities! 🌟🔑

Cheers to your new home! 🏡

I am an artist, a creator who is experimental with my methods in painting. I paint to create an aesthetic, an emotion, a response to beauty. I am inspired by interiors & spacial design. I am interested how people connect with their space, their sanctuary.
Having a dialogue with a space one calls home is, in my opinion, absolutely necessary to feel nourished & whole.
Bring art into your space, stamp your identity, make your mark.
Art has a unique ability to evoke memories and emotions, transporting us to different places and times. It's a constant source of inspiration and reflection, inviting us to engage with our surroundings in a meaningful way. And when we find that perfect piece of art that speaks to us, it becomes more than just a decoration—it becomes a cherished companion on our journey through life.
