Would you pay $320k for a 42 m2 LEAKY apartment in West Auckland?
The Ray White agent is asking $49k + estimated $270k share of the rebuild. It is just a one-bedroom unit (1C/30 Westward Ho, Glen Eden).
Since it is a leaky building then you'd have to stump up with a lot of cash. Don't people have better investment ideas for that much cash?
The ground-floor apartment is part of a large Glen Eden complex with a gym and has plans for a refurbished swimming pool (another "no-no" for an investor!)
The current build cost estimates were made by a quantity surveyor - a professional, whose job is to figure out construction costs. I hope it is a different QS, not the one that estimated the original costs of the SkyCity Convention Center :)
While the apartments currently have tenants, they may be forced to vacate during the rebuild (very likely!), meaning potential buyers could endure a period without rental income (roughly extra $20k per year of lost rental income).
That unit wasn't the only one for sale in the complex. Barfoot & Thompson were selling apartment 19E for $65,000 and apartment 7D for $81,000. Last November, the agency also sold 5E for $75,000.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
