An Easy Decision For Someone With Vision

It’s rare that such an opportunity comes along, but when it does we like to sing it from the roof-tops! This 3 bedroom, permanent material home in Hoon Hay is the classic, original Toyota Corolla of houses. With just one careful owner who has loved and cherished her since she was built in the 1970s, the old girl’s value has, of course, increased, but like that Toyota, she’s seen better times, and needs a bit of a tune up, some reupholstering and panel beating and maybe even a new paint job to get her back to the glitz and glamour of those disco days.

Maybe you are a young couple, or a hopeful first home buyer. Have a think about this … perhaps you are paying a landlord between $350 and $450 per week in rent. What if, instead of lining their pocket and paying their mortgage, you could put your foot on the first rung of the property ladder and start paying off your own mortgage (and gain capital value in the bargain) with the purchase of this wee beauty? We can put you in touch with our in house mortgage broker who can meet with you and work out the best way to make your home ownership dreams come true. Investors must also surely be interested knowing that this highly rentable property will provide a steady, healthy income stream. Add some value, have it re-valued and enjoy the benefits of the extra equity you have created – then use this to grow your portfolio. This excellent find in popular Hoon Hay is probably more affordable than you might think, and being located directly opposite Hillmorton High School and just a 3 minute walk to the bus stop, you certainly would find it hard to beat the location. There’s also a childcare centre just a few doors down, and for the teenagers there’s Hoon Hay park at the end of the street to kick a ball around. Don’t forget the local shops, where you’ll find some of the best eateries in town (the baked goods at Hillmorton Bakery are to die for), as well as one of Christchurch’s best veterinary clinics.

The home also offers superb off street parking, with an open paved area (excellent for a taller trade vehicle), as well as a carport and locked garden shed. Enhanced over the years with a heat-pump, modern kitchen, double glazing through most of the home (even some triple glazing in places!) and insulation, the ‘bones’ are fantastic ... just bring your Resene colour charts and design ideas to make it your own. If you’re up for the job, this wee darling will be road worthy for years to come and will bring huge enjoyment for the fortunate owner with vision who gets behind the steering wheel come Auction day.
