How to buy and sell a house in New Zealand

First of all, New Zealand has not yet introduced any policy to restrict foreigners from buying houses, but it is only under discussion. So at present, you can buy it if you want.

If you are a China passport holder from China and live in New Zealand, you can also apply for a housing loan from the bank conditionally. For example, if an international student has a job after graduation, he will pay a part of the down payment first, and then pay in installments.

But if you don't live in New Zealand, you can't apply for a local bank loan.

New Zealand won't give you a long-term visa just because you bought a house. And before you buy a house, if you apply for a visa to New Zealand on the grounds of buying a house, you may be refused a visa. Now New Zealand locals are very opposed to foreigners, especially Asians, buying houses in the local area, which leads to rising house prices.
