Which house to choose is to choose is carrots and cabbage, each with its own preferences and disadvantages.

Apartments are relatively cheap, have no garden, have a small range of activities, but are more convenient. They are generally located in the city or central area.

It's okay to have an extra property fee and other expenses, but the most troublesome thing is that New Zealand's rainy nature causes many apartments to have a risk of water leakage.

New Zealand's regulations are that once an apartment building leaks, all owners will have to bear the maintenance costs. Unfortunately, the apartment building leaks here will cost a huge amount, so Xiaoting does not intend to recommend an apartment to Yuan Yi at all.

In addition, although the lifestyle can be galloping and free and easy, its location is mostly in remote villages. Not to mention the price is expensive and the transportation is inconvenient, especially inconvenient for families like Yuan Yue who is a school-ager, he naturally did not get Xiaoting's recommendation.

Relatively speaking, houses like House are more suitable for Yuan Yi and his son. Although the most common type in New Zealand is more expensive, it is more free to be a single-door courtyard, and it will not be too far away even if it is not in the city center.

As for the house material mentioned earlier?

This place is very different from China. In New Zealand, only apartment buildings are generally reinforced concrete, while other houses are made of wood frames. Although some houses have brick or cement boards, the interior is still made of wooden structures.

In fact, it is a very good house to lay a layer of brick or cement on the outer layer. It is much better than an exterior wall that is completely covered with wooden boards or even plaster. Not to mention insulation and sound insulation, there is a greater risk of leakage even when it rains heavily. In Xiaoting's words, just don't buy it.

Finally, it is the process of buying a house.

There are two ways to buy a house in New Zealand, one is bargaining and the other is auction.

Negotiation is not a simple negotiating price. There is no credibility. Bargaining is written on paper. Once an agreement is reached, it will be sold directly. The auction is for everyone to bid, and the higher the price will be rewarded.

No matter what form of transaction, all transaction processes must be done by lawyers, including the house payment being paid through the lawyer's trust account. Under the supervision of the lawyer, it is definitely impossible to have bloody things such as selling one house more than one house.

Generally, you pay a deposit of 10% on the day of the transaction, and pay a final payment on the day of the house delivery. After the delivery, the house will belong to you.

It's fun to say that the taxes here are paid according to the land ownership of the house. If the land belongs to you, you only need to pay the land tax every year, which is the so-called property tax. The fees vary according to the size of the land owned, with an average of 2,000-4,000 NZD per year.

If the land does not belong to you, you will have to pay property tax, deed tax, stamp tax, and transaction tax just like in China.

"That's it here, let's start from the beach."

Yuan Yi, who was still immersed in digesting the information of the house, was suddenly awakened by Xiaoting's words, and then he found that the car had already stopped by a tree-lined road.

Looking up, the steeple of cottages were exposed among the dancing treetops, red, blue, and gray...

From time to time, you can see seagulls circling and flying in the air, or find some target that seems to rush down from a high place and lose its traces in an instant.

"Dad, will this house be cleaned with bird droppings every day?"

The group of people was immediately amused by Yuan Yue's words. Zhong Chen simply teased him and said that he could get a condom to catch birds and make barbecue, sprinkle some cumin, chili noodles, etc., so delicious.

It was not until later that Yuan Yue looked a little serious that Zhong Chen quickly explained the protection regulations for wild animals here. Not to mention intentionally hunting seagulls, even wild ducks that were hit by cars on the roadside were not allowed to be picked up and eaten, otherwise the waiting would be a huge fine.

"No wonder I didn't see any ducks coming out of the supermarket. What should I do if I want to eat them?"

"The easiest thing is to take a plane back to China to eat a special meal."

"Okay, when I didn't ask..."

Several people walked while chatting, and led by Xiaoting to a two-story building with a light blue exterior wall and a gray roof.

"That's it," Xiaoting found the key from her bag and twisted the lock, "Come on, just look at it."

Entering from the courtyard gate is a lawn of about 2,30 square meters. Judging from the uneven grass leaves emerging from the corners of the wall, it should have been unscrupulous for a while.

“Ouo…”

As I was looking at the situation in the courtyard, I saw a seagull flying over and landing on the courtyard wall. I looked sideways and saw the few people not afraid at all.

"Dad, can I give it something to eat?"

Yuan Yue saw the cute white bird and suddenly felt like she wanted to get close to her. She took out the bagel from her bag and grabbed it and asked.

"Hey, I just need to pay attention to your movements. Don't scare it away if you don't feed it."

Yuan Yi is also a person who likes small animals by nature. He doesn't care about his son's "waste" food behavior. It's rare to find some fun, why bother with so much trouble?

Yuan Yue was very smart. She didn't use the big move of swinging her arms. She pinched the bread between her fingers, then buckled and squirted, and the bread flew over in a soft arc.

The seagull was really not afraid of people. I don’t know how he could tell that what was flying over was eating. He glided and jumped down the wall. When he saw him again, he had already held the bread in his long mouth.

"Wow, it's coming again!"

As Yuan Yue exclaimed excitedly, another sound of wings flapping the air came from the air, and several white figures quickly landed and pecked at the food on the mouth of the seagull.

"Oh! Don't grab it, don't grab it, you'll have a share!"

Yuan Yue quickly grabbed a few more pieces of bread and spilled it out.

Then it was time, and Yuan Yue had forgotten the purpose of this trip. Until Yuan Yi and his friends walked around the inside, they were still making noise with the seagulls, but the birds still grew from the first three or two to a group, with the sky, walls, roofs, and grass everywhere.

"Like this house?"

Yuan Yi came over and squatted beside his son who was having fun and asked.

"I just like to tease this seagull, but if I want me to feed this every day, I will be scolded to death by you even if I die of endless poverty!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The child's words caused everyone to burst into laughter again. After finally, Yuan Yue finished pinching the bread in her hand, she came out one after Xiaoting's greeting.

"We don't rush to judge, we'll talk about it after seeing all three properties."

After everyone got into the car, Xiaoting turned around in the passenger seat and suggested to Yuan Yi, "The next city is in a good location, not far from school, supermarket, and commercial street, and walking enough to handle it."

"Wow, after hearing what you said, I'm more interested in the condom."

Yuan Yi was full of longing. He thought the house by the sea just now was quite good.
