Overseas property buyers information

Properties Marketed to International Buyers

Some properties on this website may be presented as potentially suitable for international buyers, including buyers exploring investor visa pathways such as the Active Investor Plus (AIP) programme.

These properties are typically identified because they may align with current regulatory thresholds or investment pathways.

However, inclusion in this section does not constitute confirmation of eligibility, approval, or suitability for any individual buyer.

Overseas Investment Regulations

All overseas purchasers remain subject to New Zealand law, including the Overseas Investment Act 2005 and any associated regulations.

Depending on the circumstances, overseas buyers may be required to obtain consent from the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) before purchasing residential land.

Approval requirements may depend on factors including:

• visa or residency status
• property value
• the structure of the purchase
• intended use of the property
• compliance with overseas investment regulations

Each application is assessed on its individual merits.
