Normally when property comes up in discussion, it's focused on the plight of the youngsters who are fighting to get on to the property ladder. But today, we're switching it up a bit. Your house is likely the most expensive thing you own, that applies for everyone who's lucky enough to own one. So how do you manage your money with it? How old is too old to be investing in property? Are you worried that you've left it too late? At what point does it stop being worth it? Managing director of property investment company Opes Partners Andrew Nicol joins Tim Beveridge to give advice on property investment. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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.

For as long as most of us will be able to remember, the Kiwi dream has meant a 3 or 4 bed home with a deck out the back and just enough grass to need a mower. It's represented putting down roots and starting a family with a sense of security in owning your own place. But after years now of rising house prices and interest rates going up and down quite rapidly, I've been wondering whether our property obsession has changed - and whether it's a temporary change or a permanent one.

It's one of the most important decisions a homeowner will make when putting their property on the market - choosing the your method of sale. You've got auctions, asking price, price by negotiation, and my least favourite - tender - but which method is the most attractive to buyers? And which gives sellers the best chance of getting the highest possible price? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're ready to sell our getting your final bits in order to get your property on the market. You don't have the time nor energy to give the whole house, inside and out, a lick of fresh paint, or redo your landscaping, or renovate your slightly out of date kitchen. So what are the areas that are most important to get sorted before listing your property? And for the buyers - what are you better off ignoring when it comes to property marketing? It could be the features that look grand in the listing photos but mean very little in real life, or scuffed flooring that may just need a polish.

There's a lot of uncertainty around the property market at the moment. In the past decade alone, we've seen the introduction of the brightline test, the relaxing of the brightline test, countless policies making life harder for investors and landlords, and now the looming question of capital gains tax. But how much does the government actually influence whether we buy and sell, and at what price? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Labour has introduced their Capital Gains Tax policy after it was leaked to the media last week. If implemented, it would mean a 28% tax on any profits made from house sales excluding the family home. So what would a tax like this do to the property and rental markets?

Most prospective buyers know how much they can borrow, but how much should you borrow? Banks will often be happy to lend buyers an eye-watering amount of money, right at the top of what they can afford, but that doesn't mean buyers will be happy once those repayments kick in. Not mention five years down the line, when interest rates aren't as low as they once were, and wages aren't increasing at the same rate. So how can people actually work out their own borrowing limit - one that allows for the odd night out or weekend away? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After yet another OCR cut, economists and mortgage holders alike are holding their breath for December - the last announcement of the year. A new report from Infometrics suggests the Reserve Bank may be taking the cuts too far, and risking an overstimulated economy. Most forecasts have predicted more cuts coming, but it's possible that Dr Anna Breman may have a different way of handling things. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A few weeks ago, a developer pre-sold most of its eight planned heritage-style weatherboard townhouses in two Auckland projects. They plan to bring more of their cookie-cutter housing designs to Auckland, and aims to revive the styles of homes prevalent in many older suburbs. But having a suburb full of similarly designed houses seems like it'd make neighbourhood dull, especially if they're bunched up together as councils plan to intesify - that in turn, would affect prices, and would make any changes you make to the property stick-out like a sore-thumb. So what are the pros and cons of cookie-cutter builds? what DIY projects could we do to boost our home's appearance? And what would we bring in an architect for?

House prices have been flat or are falling, it's hard to miss. Many owners are trying to quickly sell up - whether it be to fund their retirement, or simply because the rental market just isn't as profitable as it used to be. Analysts reckon this will mean a lot of younger people finally getting the opportunity to get on the property ladder. But there's one thing keeping a lot of potential buyers hesitant... Thirty percent of agents say that buyers are concerned property prices will drop further after they've purchased, leading to potential buyers holding off for lower prices. So how do you deal with the fear of overpaying? How can you be sure you're entering the market at the right time?

While it's all good and well to discuss where the property market is today, or try to predict the next OCR update, the key to predicting a property boom lays in market conditions during past booms. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
For many of us, the roof is one of those things that completely slips the mind until it's raining inside. RoofBuddy founder and director James Logan joins to discuss roof maintenance, and when it's time for a new one. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Bishop has openly called for house prices to fall, saying we need to be channeling more money into the economy rather than having it locked up in housing. The Prime Minister says we need modest and consistent increases in property prices, to ensure the economy is growing. So what is actually best for New Zealand and the economy?

Buyers agents are one of those things we all know is there, but rarely use them. They're often seen as a luxury in the world of buying houses, but are they worth the splurge? Bryan Thomson is the Managing Director at Harcourts, and he joins the OneRoof Radio Show to explain how you can find the right agent. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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.
