Jake's Platinum Story

They purchased their home in the Bay four years ago and realised over that time that they had built up some equity along with savings, so they wanted to look at the next step which for them, was building an investment rental property. With a new build, they could get the 20% deposit they needed rather than the 40% required for an existing home.

They met Jim through a mutual friend who had built some investment properties with Platinum Homes in Taranaki and after talking to him decided he was the guy for them.

“He was able to put us in touch with a mortgage broker that specialised in new home builds and also his local developers where he could source the land from, and because of the off-market deal, we were able to get the land for a very reasonable rate.

Living so far away, Jim made it a very easy process for us to follow, by sending us the weekly updates about how the build process was tracking, including photos. We were able to build a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, spacious home that came in under budget.

As a whole, the whole process with the Taranaki Platinum Homes team has been amazing from start to finish, so much so that we have actually signed up for our second investment property through them”.
