Most homeowners who have bought and sold have been through the stress of timing things perfectly. 

They need to sell their home before their offer on the next one is accepted, but they don't want to sell too soon and risk having to move out before closing on the next house. 

Martin Cooper is Managing Director AREINZ at Harcourts Cooper & Co, joining the OneRoof Radio Show to discuss timing your buying and selling.

Martin Cooper: Sell before you buy

The no-consent granny flat law changes came in this week. 

That means you can build an up-to-70sqm dwelling in your backyard without having to ask the council if you're allowed to. 

Getting one set up on your property would set you back at least $200,000, but the question on minds of anyone with enough space for something like this is - how much value will it add? 

They can be rented out for a bit of passive income - but it may not be worth the trouble of getting it fit to rent.

From tax changes to interest rates to regulation changes, there's an ever growing list of reasons for kiwis to be a bit more hesitant to invest in property. 

Now with changes to foreign buyers laws, we may be staring down the barrel of a completely different  property market. 

So here's the question, has the model for property investment fundamentally changed? How are investors going about it these days, and is it even worth it?

Not even two years ago, we were comparing our rent increases to those of places like Singapore and New York City. But today, many parts of the country are seeing rents tumble. 

So what does it mean for 2026? Should tenants be making their move to secure a place? Or is it the landlords who should be locking in reliable tenants before things start to change again? 

And from this month, pets are officially allowed in rentals. 

A landlord can't turn down a tenant solely for bringing a pet with them - but that along with other notes on your application can make a landlord hesitant.
