    Decoding 2026, The Great Bank Switch & Hidden Mortgage Costs Ep. 3

    Send Us A Message! Let us know what you think. The New Zealand property market is showing signs of life, but the real story lies in the regional data and current mortgage trends. In this episode of New Zealand Property Insights, Paul and Debbie Roberts unpack the new Cotality Decoding 2026 Report and the record-breaking surge in bank switching. In this episode, Paul and Debbie cover: The 2026 Market Outlook: A deep dive into the latest Cotality report. While 71% of respondents expect house prices to rise in 2026, the data reveals a mood of cautious optimism rather than a massive boom. The hosts discuss the significant regional split, contrasting Canterbury's strong confidence against Wellington's lagging market.The Danger of "Free" Advice: Debbie explains why "free" financial plans from property companies are often designed purely to sell commission-based properties. She highlights why securing independent financial advice is crucial to ensure you aren't paying top dollar for an underperforming investment.The Great Bank Switch: In December 2025, a record-breaking $5.8 billion in lending was driven simply by borrowers switching banks to chase cashback deals. Paul and Debbie explore whether these cashbacks actually save money, warning investors about hidden break fees and clawback periods. They also share actionable tips on how to negotiate better rates with your current bank using a mortgage adviser.Whether listeners are looking to refinance or wondering where the property market is heading next, this episode cuts through the noise to provide the facts.

    NZ Property Insights: New 70sqm Granny Flat Rules Explained & NZ Interest Rate Predictions 2026

    Send Us A Message! Let us know what you think. As of January 15th, 2026, the rules for building minor dwellings in New Zealand have officially changed. The headlines say "No Consent Needed" for builds under 70sqm, but the fine print says something very different. In this premiere episode, Paul and Debbie Roberts (Property Apprentice) strip away the media hype to look at the practical details that actually matter to your portfolio. We break down the specific "gotchas" in the new Building and Construction Amendment Act—specifically regarding wet areas and accessibility—and why your choice of builder is now a massive liability issue. Plus, we look at the surprising rebound in the NZ job market. While more jobs are great for paying rent, we discuss why this "good news" might actually slow down the OCR cuts we were all hoping for. Finally, we issue an urgent warning for self-managing landlords regarding a specific email from Tenancy Services that you cannot afford to ignore. In this episode, we cover: The 70sqm Exemption: What you can build, what you can't, and why "exempt" doesn't mean "rule-free." The "Shower Trap": Why installing a level-entry shower for an elderly relative might technically trigger a consent requirement. Liability Shifts: Why the homeowner is now the guarantee, not the Council. Economic Update: Why a hiring boom in 2026 could result in "sticky" inflation and mortgage rates. Landlord Admin: The missing "LNL" code you need to access the new Tenancy Bond Hub.
