I want to immigrate to New Zealand. Should we choose Kunpeng immigrants or Australian immigrants?

New Zealand is an immigrant country, and a large number of new immigrants enter New Zealand every year. In recent years, Chinese have become the main part of new immigrants in New Zealand. China people pay attention to "living and working in peace and contentment", so most new immigrants from China will consider buying a house. However, New Zealand's legal system is different from other Chinese communities in Chinese mainland and Asia. Because the English level of new immigrants in China is generally lower than that of arbitrary use; In addition, new immigrants in China are unfamiliar with the environment and have few relatives and friends; Such as this, new immigrants in China must be especially careful when buying a house, so as to avoid such a large investment, thoughtless, improper decision-making, and even being deceived, and finally there is no way to complain, so that a pleasant house purchase becomes an unpleasant experience.

Here are some things that new immigrants must pay attention to when buying a house:

1, define your own needs.

What kind of house you want to buy, you should think more and discuss it with your relatives and friends. Do you want two rooms for self-occupation or two rooms for self-occupation plus one room for rent? Is it big or small? Is it big enough to be divided (generally 1000 meters or more) or are you going to have a place to build it yourself (generally 600 meters or more)? Or just three or four hundred square meters to give children a place to play? What is the price range? Or how many bits or less? Does it have to be a tailless street? Do you want to consider being closer to the school? Do you have any special requirements, such as being close to the fishing place, enjoying the sea view, being close to the hospital, and being convenient on the expressway? Because only with clear needs can we have goals and save time between the intermediary and ourselves. Some new immigrants have no clear goals, such as the price of100000 and 200000, and the area is not clear, so the intermediary has to show him the house. Finally, the intermediary was tired and the buyer was deceived. Some intermediary companies may complain or even refuse to show people the house.

2. Understand the current situation and trend of New Zealand real estate market.

First of all, we should understand what factors will affect the real estate market in New Zealand and analyze the current situation of these factors. Generally speaking, the price of real estate is influenced by supply and demand. Because the supply curve is generally stable (due to long construction time and relatively fixed investment). ), the price of real estate is greatly influenced by demand factors. There are three main types of real estate demand: a, self-occupation demand; B. Investment demand (mainly leasing and long-term investment)

; C. Speculative demand (short-term funds, short-term, short-term, often with the participation of dragon generals) As far as New Zealand is concerned, the real estate price in New Zealand is greatly affected by the foreign population, one is a new immigrant and the other is an international student. New immigrants mainly stimulate the demand for self-occupation, while international students mainly stimulate the demand for investment. Therefore, if the immigration policy and the international student policy are relaxed, the demand for real estate will be strong and the speculative demand will have an atmosphere; When the immigration policy and study abroad policy are tightened, or a large number of immigrants return to China, the demand for real estate is weak. Some time ago, due to the extensive immigration policy and study abroad policy, a large number of new immigrants and international students came to New Zealand, and other factors, New Zealand's real estate market flourished.

Need to know about the [advice] on housing sales in New Zealand.

What you need to know about buying and selling houses in New Zealand (1)—— An overview of major residential areas in Auckland.

I. Preface:

What city should new immigrants move to before and at the beginning of their immigration to New Zealand? This problem is very troublesome. As we all know, after the city is chosen, it is even more difficult to choose which district to live in. Will housing prices, schools and environment be good or bad? It all depends on your own judgment. Among the cities in New Zealand, the residential area in Auckland is the most complicated and difficult to decide. The reason for this is the following：

(1) The scope of Auckland is so wide that there are even more residential areas to choose from than expected.

Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, is actually composed of six different cities, with more than 100 residential areas to choose from. It is not easy for new immigrants to decide their place of residence in a short time, not to mention that each residential area in New Zealand has its own characteristics. Two identical houses often have different prices because of different locations or different interior decoration. If you make a hasty decision, you will regret it forever.

Generally speaking, new immigrants' choice of region should be based on the following points:

A the transportation is convenient.

School district B is better, and the school still has room to recruit new students.

It is easier to buy Chinese food.

D the house price (rent) is moderate.

E has value-added potential.

(2) There is no real average standard of house prices in each district, which is difficult to control.

The housing standards, building materials, building area and location of residential areas in New Zealand (the same residential area often has completely different results due to the nearby environment, topography, landscape, schools and other reasons) are uneven, and the prices are even more varied. Unlike in China, which street and several floors of buildings can be designated, the price per ping can be captured. But in New Zealand, it is not feasible to buy a house only by the concept of average house price. New immigrants must go door-to-door to find out every month, which is the key to mastering whether the house price is reasonable or not.

Although anecdotal real estate companies have shown the average house price statistics of various residential areas in Auckland in some reports, the so-called average house price generally refers to the houses that have been sold in the local market in the last three to six months, while the houses valued by new immigrants in China are not sold much, which makes the above average house price relatively low. In addition, the average house price not only fluctuates with the market interest rate, but also the house quality required by new immigrants in China is often above average, so the house price to be purchased will naturally be higher than the average house price. But for the new immigrants from China, the most puzzling thing is that in a short time, they don't know whether the quality of the house they plan to choose is really above average. Is it possible to buy an ideal house by adding some prices according to the average house price in the region?

(3) Admission is related to school district and study.

District system is practiced in most schools in New Zealand.

ZONEING), the school is only open to students living in the school district, and some famous schools are already overcrowded (some star schools, although students outside the open area study across regions on the basis of grades, have little chance of passing the exam). New immigrants should know in advance before choosing a constituency.

For new immigrants, Auckland has 2 universities, 3 technical colleges,/kloc-0 teachers' college, 95 high schools, 47 junior high schools and 326 primary schools, but which school is more suitable for their children? We should consider new tricks, never follow the trend, and never be superstitious about star schools.

Some people may suggest to refer to HKCEE, but new immigrants must understand that HKCEE's performance does not really represent the standard of the school. For example, a school has always had a low evaluation, but the average score of "participating candidates" in the school is over 90%, reaching100%; However, only 55% of the top 90% of the students ranked second in HKCEE, while 45% of the students ranked 70% ~ 80%. For new immigrants who have just arrived in New Zealand, they are likely to choose schools. In fact, there are *** 100 fresh graduates in a school, but only one of them intends to pursue further studies, so this student took the exam and was rated as A (top 90%), so there is a level of 100%; On the other hand, there are 65,438+000 fresh graduates in School B, and their grades are all between A and B. Of course, they are doing well, but it is difficult for you to see from the written materials (this is because HKCEE's grades do not indicate how many people should take the exam).

2. Residential areas in Auckland:

Auckland's coastline is tortuous and changeable, and the bay often goes deep inland. Therefore, the driving time from any point in the urban area to the seaside will not exceed 15 minutes, and the terrain is even more fluctuating, forcing the main roads to be built along the ridge, and the roads are often condescending, with large slopes and many bends. In order to give new immigrants an overall impression of Greater Auckland, a map of Auckland was first planted in the eyes of readers. The whole Auckland is in the shape of "ㄣ", the right part of the middle horizontal line of "ㄣ" is the east of Auckland, and the left part of the middle horizontal line is the west of Auckland; The horizontal line between the east and west areas is the central area; The left-hand upward part of "ㄣ" is the north of Auckland; Finally, to the right of ㄣ is the south of Auckland. Among them, one is in the middle of the central area.

tree

Mountain (Dushu Mountain) is its geographical center.

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, Auckland people traditionally divide Greater Auckland into six districts, namely, East, West, South, North, China and City, among which the urban area is beyond the scope of this article. This paper only introduces the houses and schools located in five areas of Auckland, namely East, West, South, North and Central, as follows:

( 1)。 CENTRE ARIAL)- located in the middle of Auckland, it has an early development time and a high population density. Located in the south of the city center, close to the city center, with convenient transportation and many Chinese. Various Chinese supermarkets, restaurants and schools are densely set up. However, the housing prices in some areas are quite high, and schools generally adopt the policy of Cole Yan to restrict students in the school district from enrolling. The main residential areas are described as follows:

( 1- 1)。 Mission Bay-located in the east of downtown Oakland, about 5- 10 minutes' drive, facing the port of Oakland, connected with downtown by coastal highway, with mountains and seas in the area, especially the section facing north, with the most beautiful scenery. The beach is straight, and the troublemakers are scattered in the open-air coffee shops on the roadside. There is no doubt that the view of Auckland harbour is one of the best residential areas in Auckland. The housing prices in this area are quite high, with prices exceeding 1 10,000 New Zealand dollars everywhere. However, there are not many Chinese in this area, which may be related to the high housing prices and the lack of suitable schools in this area (generally, most of them are elderly rich people, so it is no problem for their children to go to school).

( 1-2)-EPSOM & amp； REMUERA-EPSOM District is located in the south of downtown Auckland, about 5- 10 minutes' drive (about 5-6 kilometers), and the terrain is relatively flat. Nanukou Road is the main trunk road in this area, and it is also the only way to connect the urban area with Auckland Airport. Generally speaking, the housing prices in Epsom area are slightly lower than those in the school district 10% to 20%, and there is no obvious difference in the alley housing prices in other school districts.

Germura district is located in the southeast of downtown Auckland, about 5 to 10 minutes' drive (also about 5 to 6 kilometers), with rugged terrain. The hot wooden pull road built along the ridge is the main road in this area. There is a well-equipped golf course in this area. These two areas have convenient transportation and are close to shopping and community facilities. Several major hospitals in Auckland are also located in or near this area, and the largest green spaces in Auckland, ONE TREE HILL and CORNWALL PARK (*** covers an area of about 65,438+050 acres), are located between these two areas. In the early stage (around 1990), Asian immigrants moved into this second district almost without consideration, and it is still one of the areas with the most concentrated Chinese.

Due to the early development of the second district, it is less than 10 minutes' drive from the University of Auckland and Auckland Institute of Technology in the north, and there are many famous schools in the district, including the famous EPSOM Women's Grammar (EGG), Auckland Boys' Grammar and Epsom Normal Intermediate. Primary schools include the famous Epson Primary School, Cornwall Park Primary School and Victoria Avenue Primary School.

School, remula primary school, etc.

(1-3)- Medobank, St. John, St. John's Park and; Kohima-These four districts are located in the east, northeast and southeast of REMUERA District respectively, about 10 to 20 minutes' drive from downtown Auckland (also about 6 ~ 15 kilometers). The terrain is rugged, and it seems that the main roads in this area are Gemura Road, San Hellier Bay Road and Yumu Road built along the northern coast. Similarly, the buildings located on the north slope of Germura Road and San Hellier Bay Road face the sea and overlook Ranjitoto Island, with beautiful scenery. Except for some areas of MEADOWBANK, the prices of other areas are generally between NZ $250,000 and NZ $900,000 due to their proximity to scheduled highways and crematoria.

The four districts are not far from TAMAKI Campus of the Business School of the University of Auckland. The junior high schools in the district are mainly GLEMDOME College, Sacred Heart College and GLEN INNES INTERMEDIATE. SELWYN COLLEGE, located in KOHIMARAMA district, has no school district restrictions and a more liberal school spirit. Students don't need to wear school uniforms, so they attract some children of Asian immigrants to study here.

(1-4)- Sanwang, Roskill Mountain & Linfield-Due to the influence of REMUREA and EPSOM, high housing prices and strict school district restrictions, people who develop southward will enter these three districts.

These three districts are located in the south of EPSOM, about 10 to 20 minutes' drive from downtown Auckland (also about 6 ~ 15 kilometers). Except for Linfield District, the terrain is rugged due to its proximity to Manukau Port, while the terrain in Sanwang District of Roskill Mountain is relatively flat. DOMINION Road and MT.EDEN Road connecting the city center are the north-south main roads in this area, while MT. ALBERT Road, RICHARDSON Road and HILLSBOROUGH Road are the main east-west main roads. Because Sanwang District is close to EPSOM District, except for some buildings near the industrial zone, the price difference between other areas and EPSOM South is limited.

Shopping in mountainous areas of Roskill is very convenient, because there are many Chinese-run enterprises (grocery stores, butcher shops, barbershops, restaurants, gift shops, fruit and vegetable shops and video shops) along the Dominion Road. There are two golf courses in this area. MT.ROSKILL Grammar School, MT. ROSKILL INTERMEDIATER and MT. ROSKILL Primary School, a primary school, a middle school and a high school live next to each other, which is a great gospel for parents who need to pick up and drop off different school-age children to and from school every day.

(1-5)- Mt. Eden-This area is close to the south of downtown Auckland, between downtown Auckland and Epsom District, and it is only about 2 to 5 minutes' drive from this area to Shenxin Mountain (about 3 to 5 kilometers).

Eden Road runs through the whole area and is one of the closest areas to downtown Auckland. Most houses in this area are 40-80 years old. In the past, many office workers chose to live in this area in order to be close to their workplace. At that time, house prices were generally not expensive, but in recent years, house prices in this area are different. The house price in this area is divided by the boundary of Eden Mountain Road. Because the school districts on both sides are different, there are different price differences.

(2)。 East District-Generally speaking, China people used to call the East District Howwick. In fact, Howick is just a district in the East Side. However, the development of the whole East District only started in the past 20 years, and it is still under development. In the whole case of eastern development, the development of Haowei District is early and close to completion, which is quite representative. It's usually called East Side Howick. However, Howick District has a vast territory, including Howick, Botney Downs, Ranch, buckland Beach and so on. Old Howick is generally called "Old Street". Due to the early development, the roads in this area are narrower than those in other eastern areas, but they are still clean and tidy. There are many buildings with English flavor in this area.

BUCKLANDS BEACH is located on the north side of PAKURANGA Road, facing the sea in the north of the East District. The sea view of the whole area is very open, and there is a peninsula extending to the sea in the north, close to Ranjitoto.

The island is far away. And the ferry to downtown. There are also yacht docks and clubs in the adjacent Half Moon Bay, where most white-collar workers who are good at sea activities live.

BOTNY DOWNS and DANEMORA are relatively new development zones, which are still under development. BOTNY DOWNS has the largest shopping center in New Zealand, and there are many local department stores. Banks are even open seven days a week. Every holiday, thousands of parking spaces in this area are often hard to find. The adjacent DANEMORA District is a newly developed community home with a vast land and flat terrain. The BOTNY Road running through it can directly reach the administrative center of Manukau City and Jiyang, only about 20 minutes by car.

The large community has complete public facilities, including free indoor heated swimming pool and highland park of golf course. Law firms, accounting firms and real estate agencies in this area also employ more Chinese-speaking employees to attract more people. Under this virtuous circle, more Chinese have been attracted to move in. Generally speaking, the East District is the place with the largest concentration of Chinese in Auckland. However, the area of the Eastern District is only about one seventh of that of the Central District. If it is insisted that the Eastern District is the place where the Chinese are most concentrated, it is more appropriate to say that the relative proportion (density) of Chinese living in the Eastern District is the highest.

Most of the houses in this area are new houses with magnificent shapes and large indoor space. Just because of the new area, the trees are not as tall as those in the old area. Major supermarkets, department stores, Chinese food and supplies, and Chinese-run enterprises (grocery stores, butcher shops, barber shops, restaurants, gift shops, fruit and vegetable shops and video stores) abound. Shopping, banquets and snacks are very convenient, especially Medolan, which is known as the small Chinatown. It is said that you can eat for a month a day.

The main schools in the eastern district are: high school is St.

KENTIGERN College, PAKURANGA College, HOWICK College, MACLEANS College, Edgewater College, etc. Among them, McLean College and private St. Kentigan College are more famous; Middle schools include: BUCKLANDS BEACH INTERMEDIATE, HOWICK INTERMEDIATE, SOMMERVILLE INTERMEDIATE, etc. Famous primary schools include Gezishan Primary School and MACLEANSPRIMARY School. In addition, there are primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools with complete facilities: CASCADE and our primary school's supporting Notre Dame School on the Sea are well-known private schools.

(3)。 South District (Manukau City Manukau City &; Pa Pakura City, La City, Papacu)

Depart from downtown Auckland, go south via Highway I, and enter Manukau in 30 minutes (about 45 ~ 50 kilometers). Manukau is adjacent to PaPakura (La, Papacu) in the south. These two cities are the representatives of the wider area of Greater Auckland, and * * * is the main body of the Southern District (the administrative district of the Eastern District is also under the jurisdiction of Manukau City).

Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) and KING'S COLLEGE, one of the most famous high schools in New Zealand, are located in the southern district. Auckland's domestic and international airports are also located in the southwest corner of the city. It takes about 20 to 25 minutes to drive from the airport to downtown Auckland via the 20 and 20A expressways (some sections are not expressways).

The shopping center in Nukau covers a large area and there are many shops. It is adjacent to and equipped with the largest outdoor playground (RAINBOWS END) in Auckland, and it is adjacent to the administrative center of Manukau. Parking is convenient, and people often handle various immigration, naturalization, taxation and other affairs. For the convenience of parking, they will do it here, not downtown.

Generally speaking, except for a few areas in the southern district, all areas in the district are low-priced areas. Most of the residents in this area are Pacific islanders, and occasionally Vietnamese immigrants live here. The number of China people living in this area is small, but it has also increased in recent years. Karaka Park in this area is also one of the most expensive residential areas in Auckland. The buildings in this area are super giants, and each house is generally located on three acres to dozens of acres of land. There is a small lake in front of the door, a group of orchards behind the house, and a heated swimming pool or tennis court, which makes people love it.

(4)。 West District (Waitakeri City)-From downtown Auckland to the west, cross Binhai Highway 16 and enter Waitakeri City. Shi Huai has a vast territory. Henderson Town is the most prosperous town in the area, with a large shopping center and one of the four major wine producing areas in New Zealand. This town is about 5 to 10 minutes' drive from Messi East and West Port, where there are many China people.

Generally, it takes about 20 to 25 minutes (about 20 to 25 kilometers) to enter the east and west ports of Messi from the urban area of Auckland, and the whole line is expressway. If you drive north and turn to 18, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to reach the Albany campus of Massey University in Bei 'an.

The driveway on both sides of Donghuangjia Road in Messi is the area where new immigrants from Asia gather, and the house price is relatively cheap, ranging from NZD 6,543,800+0,800 to NZD 350,000. As for a house with a sea view, the price is naturally higher. The base camp of Chinese gathering in the Western District is the West Port, facing the sea, facing the mountains and rivers, facing the inner side of Auckland Port and overlooking the urban area of Auckland. It has both mountains and rivers and charming scenery. The whole area was only developed in recent ten years, and the houses in various shapes are comparable to the luxury houses in Howwick District. The area is close to the coast, with a large yacht marina and well-equipped yacht club, attracting quite a few newcomers who are good at this field to live in this area.

(5)。 North District (North Shore City)-Cross the "Sea Crossing Bridge" from downtown Auckland to the north, that is, enter the North Shore City, which is about 5 to 10 minutes' drive (about 3 kilometers) from downtown Auckland. However, due to the vast territory of Bei 'an, if you drive north to Albany, a major town in the north of Bei 'an (where Massey University Albany is located), the whole journey will take about 15 to 20 minutes by car (about 20 kilometers away). The whole north shore is divided into east and west sections by the expressway. Generally speaking, the eastern coastal section and the southern section near Auckland port have the highest housing prices, among which Tacapuna District, the first important town in North Shore City, is the most prosperous area, and the average housing price in this area is the highest in Auckland.

Tacapuna District, the first important town in North Shore City, is the most prosperous area, which is about 5 to 10 minutes' drive from downtown Auckland, with Horaki Bay in the east and Auckland Port in the south. White sandy beaches are all over the area. The central part of the area is a commercial shopping center, and the west of the center is Lake Pupke, nicknamed Swan Lake. Its average house price is the highest in Auckland. The junior and senior high schools in this area are mainly Takapuna Normal Middle School and Takapun Grammar School. In addition, Massey University and Auckland University of Technology each have a branch school in this field, which is convenient for those who are interested in further study. Korean immigrants prefer to gather in this area.

The areas where China people moved in earlier, such as NORTHCOTE, BIRKENHEAD & CHATSWOOD, are located at the southern end of Bei 'an, southwest of the expressway, facing Auckland Port, about 5 to 10 minutes' drive from downtown Auckland, and far away from the "cross-sea bridge" in Auckland. The white sand beach in the harbor contrasts with the clear green water, and the ships with little sails decorate the sea, which is quite attractive to live in.

And Hill Creste, Glenfield, westlake &; Milford and other four districts are relatively newly developed. Due to the rising housing prices in Kopuna and Linhai, it is difficult to apply for school districts. In recent years, new Asian immigrants have started to go north to these four districts. These four districts are located in the middle of the north shore city, on the east and west sides of the expressway, and about 10 to 15 minutes' drive from downtown Auckland. Glenfield is a junior high school in this area.

Junior high school, West Lake boys' high school and West Lake girls' high school are the main ones.

BAYS city on the east coast is a new development area of Beian city, and the development time is about 65,438+00 years. Most of the roads in this area are adjacent to the sea in the east, so it is called a bay because of the name of this area. It can be seen that the coastal areas generally include Campbell Bay, Melange Bay, Murray Bay, Rosetta Bay, Bronx Bay and Tolbe. In recent years, new Asian immigrants began to migrate northward. This area is located in the northeast of Bei 'an City, near the east sea area of Panji Expressway, with undulating terrain and tortuous bay, about 15 to 20 minutes' drive from downtown Auckland. WAIRAU Middle School, MAIRANGI BAY Middle School and RANGITOTO College are the main middle and high schools in this area.

This article is for reference only, the purpose is to provide an outline for new immigrants, so that new immigrants in China can choose your new home quickly and correctly.

Third, the postscript:

( 1)。 Auckland is a huge city with hundreds of districts, so it is impossible to list them all. The area not mentioned in the article does not mean that the area is not good, just because there are not many China folks living there, so there is no more pen and ink.

(2)。 The housing prices in various districts mentioned in this paper are compiled by the author with reference to the information and personal experience of housing agencies, and have not been obtained through scientific analysis. In addition, New Zealand's housing styles are diverse, and the housing prices are staggered, and they are all built in the same district. The prices listed in this article are for reference only, and the actual prices should be based on the current market situation, waiting for you to advance, make rounds frequently and ask more.

(3)。 The travel time of each district mentioned in this paper is only a summary figure, excluding the rush hour factor of commuting traffic.
