Property Guides

Plan your next property move with practical guides from Ray White Mangawhai. Start with the decision in front of you, then use the checklists to prepare for a conversation with your agent, lawyer, lender or property specialist.

Our focus is homes, lifestyle properties and sections in Mangawhai, Mangawhai Heads, Kaiwaka, Hakaru and Te Arai. Local property conditions vary by address: a coastal home, a village section and a rural block need different questions.

Buying a property

Buying in Mangawhai

Follow the buying journey from setting your brief and arranging finance to researching a property, making an offer and preparing for settlement. Includes questions to take to your advisers.

Open homes and auctions

Prepare for a viewing, record what you need to check and understand the work to complete before bidding. Find current open homes and auction information.

Lifestyle blocks and sections

Work through access, boundaries, water supply, wastewater, covenants, hazards and building feasibility before committing to land or a lifestyle property.

Selling your property

Selling in Mangawhai

Build your selling plan: appraisal evidence, preparation, sale method, marketing, agency agreement, offers and settlement. Use the planning questions to compare recommendations for your property.

Understanding your appraisal
