We looked at two options on this Manurewa section. A $1.2m subdivision, or a $300k granny flat. The smaller one looked better.

Wondering what your backyard could do? We’ll come out and go through the numbers with you, so you’ve got an estimate of the cash flow and capital gain to start from.

Before: a steep section, tired pavers and timber retaining on its way out, and a deck nobody used.

After: proper concrete steps and paths, new timber retaining, a rebuilt fence line, and an outdoor kitchen with power, lighting and screen blinds so it’s usable most of the year.

The whole thing was managed as one job. Excavation, concreting, hardscaping, planting, painting, plumbing and electrical, all under us. No coordinating six trades yourself.

if your outdoor space is doing nothing for you, that’s usually a design problem, not a budget one. worth a conversation.

Got an attached garage built after 2000? You might be sitting on a goldmine.

We recently converted a garage in Flatbush into a self-contained space — bedroom, bathroom, living area. Total cost: $150,000. It now rents for $500/week — that’s $25,000 a year in income, against just $7,500 in interest.

That’s not just extra income — you also increase the value of your property and build more equity to invest again.

Andrew Ardern from Loan Market Howick structures these with a revolving credit facility, giving you a 6-month buffer while you find tenants. Worst case covered. Sleep easy.

Smart investors renovate differently.
Hard-wearing materials. Nothing fancy. Stuff that lasts 20 years.

Paint and floor coverings first - best return on investment, every time.

Then run the numbers: a full reno can add $100–$150/week to your rent and let you choose your tenants. 💡
