This is part two of buying a house in New Zealand with our lovely NZ Community member, Ryan.

Buying a house in New Zealand, although not overly complicated, is certainly very different to that of the UK or the USA. If you are moving to New Zealand (or already living in New Zealand) you will, at some time, think about buying a house.
In this week’s show, I welcome back one of our most popular guests, Ryan. Ryan lives on the outskirts of Auckland with his wife Jo (who is a teacher in New Zealand). In the five years that he and Jo have been living in New Zealand, they have bought two houses (at different times!).
Here’s everything single thing you need to know about that process.
