has meant many Kiwis have
benefited from huge capital gains,
and now have the opportunity to
capitalise on the equity in their
existing home.
And Covid-19 has certainly
drilled home the need for space.
Upsizing can mean different
things to different people. Some
might want a rumpus room for
a teen who is at uni, while others
might want somewhere with
office space, or perhaps a property
with land where they can add a
self-contained space.
Before you start looking for
a bigger home, ask yourself

When upsizing to a new
development, you are coming
to homes that are designed in a
way to use every single square
