MORE NEW ZEALANDERS LIVING IN THEIR OWN HOMES

HOW IT WORKS

01

FIRST HOME BUYERS

If you are a buyer, you’re currently restricted to existing homes or subdivisions. Simplocation is a new property market for underutilised land.

With Simplocation, the buyer can search all properties in a specific area to identify which ones can be subdivided; then approach the owner of the property to begin a process that will leave both parties better off.

02

HOME OWNERS AND MORTGAGEES

Simplocation provides a handup to homeowners to get mortgage free faster and allows potential buyers to access desirable land and own their own home without having to live in a shoebox apartment.

Simplocation allows homeowner to learn about the development potential of their property at a quick glance. With simplocation, no one needs to trawl through pages of the district plan anymore.

With Simplocation, a homeowner simply types in their address and clicks search, and is shown a dashboard of information unique to their land zone.

Homeowners get to become mortgage free faster.

03

PROFESSIONALS

Simplocation is a great platform for professionals such as planners, builders and bankers to market their services to potential clients.
