“Excellent profits and a really enjoyable process!”

With the increasing demand for housing in Auckland, June and her husband Paul decided it was an ideal time to subdivide and build on land they owned to boost their retirement savings. Having previously built a home themselves, June and Paul knew that while building could deliver great financial returns, it could also be a complex and challenging process. They decided if they were going to go ahead with another new build project, they’d partner with a company who could manage all aspects from beginning to end, delivering a quality home with strong resale value and good margins.

To get a better understanding of the opportunities and obstacles of developing property, June attended an Ashcroft Homes Information Seminar where she met Ashcroft Property Development Consultant Josh Healey.  Josh reviewed June’s site and considered her resale and margin goals, concluding that the 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 2 living area, Langstone Plus design would be ideal. June and Paul loved the proposed Langstone Plus design and were impressed that Ashcroft offered a fixed build price and a guaranteed completion date as standard in every contract.

Construction of the home got underway in May 2019.  With their prior building experience, June and Paul were thrilled to find, that this time around, their own project workload was significantly reduced.  With Ashcroft as their build partner, June and Paul no longer had to manage every aspect of the construction or co-ordinate all the necessary tradesmen, suppliers, and council inspections.

June even found choosing the home’s interior design options a breeze, with Ashcroft’s selection of pre-designed colour boards. June tells us she really enjoyed the Ashcroft build process and the weekly construction updates which kept her fully informed throughout.

Once on the market, the home attracted a lot of buyer interest, selling promptly and at a price that far exceeded June and Paul’s initial expectations.
