Most buyers focus on the obvious things at an open home – the kitchen, bathroom, décor and presentation.

But some of the most important clues can be found in the things that aren't immediately obvious.

In my latest video, I share 10 practical things home buyers should check at an open home, including signs of moisture, maintenance issues, drainage, neighbourhood considerations, layout and lifestyle factors that could influence your decision.

Whether you're a first home buyer or looking for your next property, these simple checks may help you avoid costly surprises later.

“Trusted Troy
Troy was our agent for selling our home, and we couldn’t have been more impressed with his diligence and commitment, he truly went above and beyond what we expected from a real estate agent. Once our property went unconditional, we were ready to begin the search for a new home, and it was an easy decision to continue working with Troy. We trusted his advice completely. He guided us through the process with care, helping us narrow down options that didn’t fit our budget or didn’t meet healthy homes standards. When we found the property we eventually purchased, Troy’s experience and knowledge gave us real confidence and peace of mind. He is honest, hardworking, and genuinely driven by a desire to help people. We are incredibly appreciative of everything he has done for us and would highly recommend him to others. Ngā mihi to you Troy“

Offer accepted?Now what?

For many first home buyers, this is where the real due diligence begins.

From finance approval and building reports, to LIM checks, legal advice and asking the right questions — there are still important steps before you go unconditional.

No home is perfect, but doing your homework can help you buy with confidence.

Are body corporate fees really a rip off… or are many buyers ruling out good opportunities too quickly?

It’s one of the biggest concerns I hear from first-home buyers when looking at apartments, townhouses and unit title properties.

In my latest Inside Property NZ video, I unpack:

• what body corp fees actually cover
• when they can add value
• red flags to watch for
• special levies and maintenance plans
• why reviewing the documents properly matters

The reality? Not every body corporate is well run… but not every freestanding home is cheap to maintain either.

Sometimes unit title properties can help buyers get into suburbs and lifestyles they otherwise couldn’t afford.

Watch the latest video episode below.

Question: Would body corp fees put you off buying a property?

Are body corporate fees really a rip off… or are buyers missing the...

Pleased to have helped my clients not only sell successfully, but also secure their next home.

A full-service process that involved preparation, patience, timing, and making the right move when the opportunity presented itself.

Great outcome all round.

Terrific Troy

Troy was outstanding and truly went above and beyond anything we expected from an agent. His depth of life experience across different industries is a huge asset to his skill set, and it was invaluable in helping us prepare our home in the best possible way for sale.

What really sets Troy apart is his honesty. He cuts to the chase, is upfront about the reality of the situation, and never gives false hope, something we found rare and incredibly refreshing in an agent. This approach allowed us to make informed decisions with confidence throughout the process.

Troy is highly personable, which enhances his ability to connect with a diverse range of people. He is genuinely driven by strong personal values and a desire to help others, which was evident through his care, guidance, and support during both the selling, and for us, the buying processes.

We feel incredibly grateful and appreciative to have connected with Troy and would wholeheartedly recommend his services and guidance to anyone.
