Ep 226Why NZ’s Housing Crisis Isn’t About Land or Money—It’s About This

In this eye-opening video, we expose the real reason behind New Zealand’s housing crisis – it’s not about land or money, it’s about the relentless council red tape that’s holding up development. While everyone points to rising land prices or the lack of affordable homes, the true cause is a broken system where councils are dragging their feet on development consent.We delve into how council bureaucracy and delays in issuing consent are stalling new housing projects across the country, pushing up costs, and making the property market even less accessible for Kiwis. With expert insights and firsthand analysis, we reveal how these issues are crippling the housing supply and preventing New Zealand from tackling the housing affordability crisis.If you're a developer, investor, or homebuyer, this video provides you with a deeper understanding of the barriers to development and what needs to change in order to build the homes Kiwis desperately need.🌐 For mortgage solutions and tips on refixing your mortgage, visit www.mhq.co.nz.
