- Investment
VENDORS' INSTRUCTIONS ARE CLEAR - WE WANT THIS SOLD.
AT THIS PRICE, THIS APARTMENT IS GREAT BUYING, REPRESENTING UP TO 8.5% YIELD ON PROJECTED MARKET RENT.
Low Maintenance & Affordable Entry Level Investment, or the perfect apartment for your kids at university.
"Location location location" - probably the three best known words (or is it one word?) in real estate! And this couldn't be truer for this little apartment. If you want something in high demand location, but you don't have the big budget normally associated with it, this one is for you. If you want low maintenance, and you are not bothered by "unglamourous", then this one is for you. If you want low effort and low risk investment in the heart of the capital, then this one is for you.
Any way you look at it, this is a tidy property with a healthy income and great track record.

This building was built as student accommodation. It comprises 14 apartments, all of which are 5 bedroom units except this one. This one (Apt 14) was originally intended to be used as a caretaker / manager residence but it was found to be unnecessary, so it was sold to a private investor. Therefore this apartment, being different from all the rest in the building, has something to set it apart from all the rest. There is no chance that another 2bed apartment in this building comes to the market at the same time that yours does, because there simply isn't another one!
Also unlike all the other apartments, apt 14 is the only one to our knowledge that is rented to professional tenants.
The solid construction means that maintenance costs have been extremely low for this apartment, which all translates to improved cashflow for you!
Whether you are looking for a low-risk, good return entry level investment in a fantati location, or if you have kids going to university and you want to control where they are living, this one is perfect for you.

Hi, my name is Adam.
I love Wellington real estate! I caught the bug after reading a Dolf De Roos book in 1998, and bought my first property in Adam's Terrace, Aro Valley, just before I headed off to London for a number of years. I kept buying property, mainly in London and Auckland, whilst living in the UK, returned back to Wellington in 2005, and have been selling Wellington real estate since 2007. Having started out in sales during the biggest recession since the 1930s, this means that I have had to develop good habits from the start, to make sure I deliver the best service, and achieve the best results, for my clients when they want to sell their Wellington real estate.
I have lived in many different neighbourhoods, including Wadestown, Kelburn, Ngaio, Thorndon, Highbury, Rongotai, Miramar and Seatoun. Wellington is a great city and we should be proud of it. It is vibrant and alive, it is the cultural and coffee capital of the country, it is beautiful whilst also being an easy city to live in, due to it's compact nature.
So if you are looking to buy or sell Wellington real estate, give me a call. I will follow up every lead and turn over every stone, to make sure we achieve the best results possible together.
I look forward to working with you.
