What do you think of this new housing option?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A program to move people out of rentals and give them a sense of security with housing has been launched in Te Awamutu.

Twenty new two bedroom townhouses on Ohaupo Rd are available to buy at $291,750 - less than half the market price.

The catch is - you don’t own the land but hold a 100-year lease.
