The construction industry continues with very high level of activity across most of the country. Supply and labour issues are a constraining factor, but forward-looking indicators, such as building consents, do not suggest any slowdown in the short to medium term.
As detailed in this article, building consents for residential dwellings consented in the 12 months to August set an annual record at 46,453, up 24% compared to the 12 months to August 2020.

Navigating property finance with lower CVs? We can show how to navigate the changing market and position your lending for better outcomes.
With capital values softening across parts of New Zealand, many borrowers are finding that lower CVs can impact how much they can borrow — especially when property is being used as security. While CVs don’t directly set lending limits, they influence how lenders assess risk and scale your available equity. At Finance New Zealand, we help clients navigate these challenges by working with multiple lenders, using alternative forms of security, and structuring finance that supports long-term growth — even in a tighter lending environment.
