Vendors Committed, and Ready to Go!

Some homes just feel right, somewhere to kick off your shoes, let the kids play, and enjoy being together.

Welcome to 840 Te Rahu Road, a lovingly updated four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with space for the whole family.

Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge bring everyone together. From busy school mornings to relaxed dinners with friends. Four bedrooms give everyone room to retreat, while the sunny master enjoys its own generous ensuite.

Double glazing adds everyday comfort, with a wood burner and heat pumps keeping things cosy when the weather cools.

But it's the outdoor living that really makes this home special.

Two outstanding decks, at the front and rear, give you options to follow the sunshine throughout the day. Enjoy your morning coffee, stretch out in the afternoon sun, or gather friends around the barbecue on the large covered rear deck.

There's plenty of yard space for cricket, four-legged friends, a trampoline and everything family life brings along.

Established easy care gardens and a large separate garage complete the picture.

Warm, welcoming and ready for its next chapter come and imagine your family here!

Our estimate$790,000

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales and its own last sale have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

Reading the council's maps…

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
