This is an opportunity for iwi members to purchase their own home, using a shared leasehold model.

The leasehold model is where you own the home, fences, decks etc and the Rūnanga remains the owner of the land.

There are twenty-four homes to choose from. Thirteen 3-bedroom and eleven 2bedroom townhouses. All have been refurbished with new carpets, painting throughout and refreshed bathrooms and kitchens.

To be eligible you must be:

• A registered Ngāti Toa iwi member

• At least ONE registered Ngāti Toa iwi member owner must live in the property

• You cannot own another residential property

• You must be able to get a mortgage and home insurance

Prioritisation is given to first time and ‘second chance’ home buyers. A second chance home buyer is someone who has previously owned a home but no longer owns a property.

Yes, a non-Ngāti Toa member can own the home with you. However, in the event the Ngāti Toa iwi member no longer lives in the property (i.e. relationship ends or death) the non-Ngāti Toa owner would not be able to buy the property and remain as the only owner.

We will manaaki the non-Ngāti Toa owner through a process, but they cannot remain the sole owner and the house would need to be sold.

Yes, in the event of death the home can be left to named person(s) and providing there is a Ngāti Toa member who can meet the scheme requirements the home transfers to their ownership.
