A Foreigner’s Guide to Creating a Luxury Home Relocating to New Zealand.
So you’ve got the Golden Visa ticket - Congratulations! With the Active Investor Plus Visa, we welcome you to enjoy New Zealand while contributing to our growing innovative economy. To make it seamless - once you’ve found your property (likely in Queenstown, Auckland, Wellington or Waiheke) you will need a full turn-key furniture setup.
New Zealand homes are built slightly different to other countries due to our climate and exposed enviornment elements. Thats why youll find alot of the architectural materiality is closely linked to the environment asethetics and conditions.
When choosing furniture in New Zealand - again it’s a bit different to perhaps what you are used to. High end luxury furniture takes about 7 weeks to manufacture, there is very little luxury furniture available ‘off the shelf’. From selecting statement dining tables, beds, to linen - its quite hard for an American interior designer to liaise with local suppliers and we encourage you to either use a hybrid scenario where by you use the designer your familiar with but then they work with us to make it all happen and organise deliveries, ordering etc. We will literally be at the door when the delivery trucks arrive.
So how do international buyers create move-in ready homes in New Zealand? Engage with Pocketspace to work with your on the ground agents to make it less stressful as possible for you and your family. We have even filled drawers with cutlery and a steam iron ready for your arrival in New Zealand.
Its about creating a home that reflects New Zealand living but with your individual tastes woven in to create a cohesive, sophisticated palette and furniture selection.
