A neighbourhood in Christchurch has 24 new builds up for grabs - but you have to be over 45 to buy them. 

The rules are more relaxed than retirement villages. Your family can come with, but at least one of the owners has to be over the age limit.

It's pretty common these days when buying a house to throw in a couple conditions with your offer. 

You're going to want a building report, your bank may want a property valuation before they agree to insure the property, and most commonly - you may need to sell your home first before your able to settle on the next one. 

But for a seller, any one of these could be a deal breaker - and could mean a lower offer is accepted over yours just because it's unconditional.

Who hasn't at some stage in their life been a landlord or tenant?

New builds and townhouses alike have become the best option for first home buyers looking to get into the market. 

Townhouses offer a lower-cost alternative to standalone homes without having to fully commit to apartment living, and new builds often mean low-deposit loans and easier access for first home buyers. 

Problem is, the boom of new build townhouses is quickly slowing down - they're no longer classed as new builds, thus no longer as easy of a first option. 

It's not just a problem for potential buyers - it also means that those looking to sell the townhouses they purchased new a few years back, are waiting much longer for them to sell for not much more than what they were purchased for.
