    Hey all

    Wondering if anyone has had much experience with relocating homes to sections in NZ, nrth Island. I am looking for creative ways to make a good deal even better by putting an additional property on a section that we own.
    I am wondering where relocatable homes may be sourched? What the price was to move the home on, establishing costs of the new home etc?
    Would really appreciate any info, experience that anyone has had in this area

    Cheers
    Mai

    hi,

    I havent done it before, but i have seen homes for removal listed with real estate agents and also on trademe.co.nz

    otherwise if you want a new one try lockwood.

    also the government sometimes decides to close down areas that they have provided accomodation for staff and sell the homes, normally state-house types, you may need local knowledge for that though.

    Hi Guys

    you might also want to PM “Minimogul”, a famous personality on this forum, but absent for a little while.

    I know Mini has done a lot of research into this matter.

    Hi Mai,

    Couple of outfits in the south doing this. You can get a brand new “transportable” 2 brm homes for around 65k. You can also buy second hand homes and have them delivered to you door almost like a pizza ( it’s a bit more complicated) .

    I have done this in OZ and probably the most important part is the team that you have to finish the job. The last thing you want is a home that “looks”like it was moved onto the site. If that is the result you end up with then in my opinion you may as well not bother. I have never done it in NZ.

    Cheers.

    i would like to suggest to you putting an ad in the local paper of the town/city you are lookin for a property in. we have done this and it has proved very successful. there is also a trade and exchange booklet which as far as i know is sold as a local booklet along the entire east coast of both islands that is very popular which is free to advertise in. contacting the local citizens advice bureau would be a good source to find the contact details for these.
    hope this helps

    very helpful, were you at the get together in Melbourne?

    Are you happy to elaborate further on your successes regarding relocatable homes?

    Know any Akuhatas in Gisborne?
