Your Guide to Bridging Finance Tauranga _ Best Mortgages
How Bridging Finance Works in New Zealand and Its Key Features
It is a type of finance or home loan with which you can buy a new property, before you’ve sold your existing home. It is a short-term and interest-only mortgage loan, which is also commonly referred to as “tideover” finance. It allows you to make a quick move on your next property, without settling your existing debts with the current residence. However, it comes with a cost, as you’ve to pay for both the mortgages, at the same time. You can avail a bridging finance for a period of 12 months, and during that time frame, you pay your present mortgage, along with the interest-only on the new property.
Here in New Zealand, a renowned and popular mortgage broker like “Best Mortgages” can help find the right lender or bank that offers bridging loans to individuals at comparatively lower interest rates and on easy repayment terms. You can partner with one such consultant, as you receive FREE quotes of some of the top private lenders in Auckland, Tauranga or Hamilton. In this way, one can avail both ‘Closed’ and ‘Open’ bridging loans, without having sold their existing home.
What Experts Say about Bridging Finance in Tauranga or Any Other City
If you’ve made up your mind and bent over buying a second home, a bridging finance Tauranga or in any other place is the right solution, without having to sell your existing residence. This is one of the key features of an ‘Open’ Bridging Finance, where your lender would work with you in a manner, structuring your loan for a period of 6 months or till your existing home is sold (whichever is earlier), to make things manageable for both parties. But, if your property does NOT sell on time or sells for a lesser value than expected, you could be left in a critical financial situation.
Therefore, it is best advised to team up with a registered and licensed mortgage broker that can assist you through the right steps and processes of acquiring a bridging loan in New Zealand. In the case of a ‘closed’ bridging finance NZ, it is less risky, as here you’ve already sold your existing home and agreed to a settlement date. In the meantime, you can go for buying a new property that settles before the sale of your existing one. This is why a mortgage loan consultant in Tauranga or Auckland needs to be hired for getting the right suggestions that have little or no financial implications.

Refinancing vs. Staying Put: What's Best for NZ Homeowners?
For New Zealand homeowners, deciding whether to refinance or stick with their current mortgage depends on several factors. Refinancing Mortgages can offer benefits such as lower interest rates, reduced monthly payments, or access to home equity for renovations. With fluctuating interest rates, 2024 may present opportunities for homeowners to lock in better deals, especially if current rates have decreased since their initial loan.
However, staying put can also be advantageous, particularly if breaking the existing loan incurs high penalties. Some homeowners may value stability over potential savings, especially if they have a fixed-rate mortgage and are close to the end of their term.
Ultimately, the choice comes down to personal financial goals. Refinancing may be a smart move if the long-term savings outweigh the costs, but for others, maintaining their current mortgage could provide peace of mind. Consulting a mortgage advisor can help weigh the options effectively.

The thing that gets me so worked up about universal healthcare is how people say that it will be so expensive for the tax payer.
This is long rant warning so I added a break lol.
The TLDR is that even in a low tax state like Florida, someone making 50k a year will have an effective rate of of 32% (for taxes, healthcare, costs for an undergraduate degree).
Someone making 50k a year in a 'high tax' country like New Zealand has an effective rate of 21% (for taxes, healthcare, costs for an undergraduate degree).
For an American and a Kiwi with the same salary of $50k, if they have the same disposable income, the Kiwi will be able to save an extra $75,000 over 10 years that they can use for a downpayment on a home to further build wealth.
Low tax states just have the costs shuffled to other places, you end up paying a LOT more for the same services.
Here's a comparison of someone who makes $50,000 a year in New Zealand and Florida (I chose Florida as an extreme example because they have 0% state tax rate) and each person makes $15,000 worth of purchases that are taxable.
New Zealand
$7,658 in combined income taxes and levies
$2,250 in taxes on $15k of purchases (15% sales tax)
Total of $9,908 - an effective total rate of 19.8% paid to taxes and purchases and healthcare
Florida
$7,945 in combined taxes (federal taxes, social security, medicaid etc)
$1,050 in taxes on $15k of purchases (7% sales tax)
$1,700 average annual health insurance premium for Florida
$2,060 average annual health insurance deductible for Florida
Total of $12,755 - an effective total rate of 25.5% paid to taxes and purchases and healthcare
Even in a low tax state, you're already have less take-home income than someone with the same salary in New Zealand.
But
... in New Zealand with your taxes you're also getting public education. It's not completely free, but costs are fixed, and you get one year of your undergraduate free, so for example a Bachelor of Arts would cost a total of $13,548 (USD $8,347)
If you can't pay that upfront, you can get a 0% loan from the government, which you don't need to start paying off until you earn at least $23k per year. For someone making $50k that would be an extra 6.5% deducted from your income ($270/month) until the loan is paid off (which would be 2 years and 8 months).
In Florida the average student loan debt is 25k and if you're making the same payments as someone in NZ ($270/month) then you'll be paying that off for 11 years. [Note: I believe that some private loan interest rates go as high as 15%].
Bachelor of Arts in NZ $13,548, paid off over ~2.7 years.
Bachelor of Arts in Florida $35,539, paid off over ~11 years.
So lets look at effective payments over 11 years (for simplicity salary stays at 50k).
New Zealand works out to be 21% effective rate over 11 years (including taxes, healthcare, and undergraduate degree).
Florida works out to be 32% effective rate over 11 years (including taxes, healthcare, and an undergraduate degree) - you're paying 52% more!
That means someone with the same income will effectively be able to save an additional $5,000 per year over 11 years, if they invest that extra amount and get a 5% return, the New Zealander will have savings of about $75k which they can use for downpayment for a home etc.
In conclusion, even though it may seem like you're getting a good deal in a low tax state like Florida, you end up paying soooo much more in healthcare and education costs compared to a country where taxes are a little higher, but you get public healthcare and education.
Why is the U.S. so expensive? Well once place to look is defense, intelligence, and police. In the United States this costs on average $3,700 per person. New Zealand spends $1,600 per person (USD ~1,000).

I wanted to give some advice to people who are near enough to help areas affected by the recent hurricanes and haven't been affected themselves. I live in New Zealand and last year my home town was devastated by Cyclone Gabrielle, I live 4 hours away and was organizing to get things in to people who needed them.
Look on Facebook. Groups will be organizing and sharing information about what donations are needed and where to bring them to. A determined middle-aged woman will be helping hundreds of people out of her garage or whatever empty space she's been able to sweet-talk or brow-beat some business man into loaning her.
Donate material goods that are actually needed right now. It's tempting to go 'I've got no money but I can clean out my wardrobe and give stuff'. Please don't. I saw several charities turning stuff away because SO MUCH had been dumped on them.
Right now things that you can actually give from your own homes if you have them to give or if you can appeal to your community:
Big and tall men's clothing, they'll get loads of women's and kids stuff but there will be a shortage of larger men's clothes so if you are a larger man or know one you can hit up, they'll be grateful.
Sturdy footwear, particularly rubber boots - they've got a lot of mud to slog through and they need to protect their feet.
Protective clothing, work gloves, hard hats, high vis gear.
Camping lights, head-lights, solar-lights. If they're without power these are all much safer than candles.
Monitor local Facebook groups and see if they're appealing for anything in particular.
In a few months to a year or so they're going to need everything else so if you want to help but all you've got to give is your old fridge or a pile of blankets then just hold off until people are asking for those things. Once they have a safe place to live they'll need help filling it. Keep following any Facebook groups that form and be prepared to help later.
If you can buy things to take in or get local businesses to donate or however you go about providing new things, stuff that's gonna be really helpful right now:
Prepacked food that's easy to heat up on a barbeque or camp stove. Pouches, meals in a can, just add boiling water, anything you'd take camping. Ingredients aren't really helpful right now for people who are using all their energy to survive and don't have extra to make a meal.
Milk powder. You can make up just as much as you need and don't need to worry about refrigerating it.
Bottled water.
Baby formula.
Diapers
Toilet-paper
Baby wipes. The wastewater systems will be a mess so they're probably being advised to avoid showering even if they have running water. Baby wipes are a good way to keep reasonably clean.
Clorox wipes or similar products. Just as they're having trouble keeping themselves clean it's also a challenge to keep their environment clean.
Heavy duty garbage bags. There's a lot of spoiled food, soaked/rotting paper/fabric/building materials, that need to be contained until they can be gotten rid of. Landfill is likely affected so the best they'll be able to do is seal it up in heavy duty plastic until there's somewhere they can dump it.
Camp stove gas canisters
Batteries
Pet food
Tortillas. They keep longer than leavened bread, there's a million things you can do with them, and they're way more compact for transport. (When we had the car full to the roof with stuff we were taking in to our family, I was so proud when I realized we could transport 300 tortillas in the spaces under the driver's and passenger's seats.)
Over the counter meds - there'll be lots of people doing work that's making them very sore. Also basic first aid stuff, it'd be a bitch if you survived the hurricane uninjured only to end up with an infection that you got from a splinter while cleaning up.
If you're delivering things yourself then avoid staying in the area for too long unless you're actually taking part in the clean up. Take everything that you'll need while you're there. When you leave offer to take trash out with you.
People who've been through a disaster like this will need help long term so if you can't help right now don't feel bad, keep an eye on the situation and eventually something will come up that you can help with.

If you could have anything in the world right now, no catch, what would you want?

Prince Alfred in his Royal Navy midshipman's uniform, c. 1860. He joined the navy at the age of 12 in 1856 (RCT).
After their initial training, Royal Navy cadets of the 1850s and 1860s transferred to the Fleet for at least four years before being able to sit for the exam for lieutenant. Although many would serve on large ships close to home (which were more likely to have a naval instructor aboard), imperialism and global ambitions of the metropole meant that midshipmen could see action:
The China and Far East station, even after the ending of the Second China War in 1860, was a major employer of manpower absorbing over 40 vessels and in excess of 6,000 men over the following decade. The Civil War diverted ships and men on the North American station and trade protection and anti slavery patrols kept at least 15 ships and about 2,000 men employed off the coast of West Africa. Most vessels here were relatively small, shallow draft gun boats under junior command and unlikely to carry cadets or midshipmen by scheme of complement, but they frequently employed them on loan from larger vessels. Thus in the late 1850s and 1860s many 15- and 16-year-old boys received a baptism of fire in small craft up rivers and inside reefs, with expeditionary brigades ashore in China, India, New Zealand or off the coast of Japan. Admiral Sir John Fisher, a future First Sea Lord, saw action as a youngster in 1859, witnessing the death of Midshipman Herbert and the wounding of Midshipman Powlett and Armytage in the failed attack on the Peilo [sic] forts. ... The small wars and policing duties of the era provided early active service for very young officers, many of whom demonstrated considerable devotion to the navy they had so recently joined.
— Harry W. Dickinson, Educating the Royal Navy: Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Education for Officers
Attack and capture of the Forts at the Entrance of the River Pei-ho, China, on the 20th May 1858. By the Allied British and French Gun Boats and Boats of the Squadron in the Gulf of Pechili, print made 1858 (NMM collection).

Education loan for studying in New Zealand
New Zealand is one of the most popular destinations for international students seeking high-quality education in a diverse and welcoming environment. With world-class universities, beautiful landscapes, and a strong focus on research and innovation, it’s no wonder that more students are choosing to study here. However, one of the major hurdles students face when planning to study abroad is financing their education. This is where education loans come into play. In this article, we explore the options, process, and tips for securing an education loan to study in New Zealand.
Why Study in New Zealand?
New Zealand boasts a unique combination of high academic standards, a multicultural society, and an excellent student lifestyle. The country’s universities consistently rank among the best in the world, offering a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate programs across multiple fields, including business, engineering, healthcare, and the arts.
Besides the academic quality, the country is renowned for its natural beauty, making it an ideal place for students to not only pursue education but also explore new cultures and outdoor activities.
However, the cost of studying abroad, including tuition fees, living expenses, and travel costs, can be quite high. Therefore, most international students opt for education loans to finance their studies in New Zealand.
Types of Education Loans
There are primarily two types of education loans available for students planning to study abroad:
Domestic Education Loans (Home Country Loan)
Most students take an education loan from a bank or financial institution in their home country to study abroad. These loans are typically offered with specific interest rates and repayment terms. Some banks have tie-ups with New Zealand universities, making it easier for students to avail loans at competitive rates.
Eligibility criteria: The borrower must be a citizen or permanent resident of the home country. The loan is often secured against collateral (like property or savings), and some banks may also require a co-signer or guarantor.
New Zealand Education Loans
Some students opt for education loans directly from financial institutions in New Zealand, although this can be more complex, as most loans require a local credit history. These loans can cover tuition fees and living costs, but securing such a loan as an international student may require meeting certain criteria like a local guarantor or income source.
Key Features of Education Loans
When taking an education loan for studying in New Zealand, here are some key features to consider:
Loan Amount: Education loans can cover a wide range of expenses, including tuition fees, accommodation, living costs, and travel expenses. In some cases, banks offer loans for up to 100% of the required amount.
Repayment Terms: Repayment usually begins after the completion of studies, typically with a moratorium period ranging from 6 months to 1 year. Repayments are spread over a period of 5 to 15 years, depending on the loan amount and terms.
Interest Rates: Interest rates vary depending on the lending institution, the loan amount, and the country of origin. It is important to compare the rates offered by different banks and lenders to ensure that you are getting a competitive deal.
Collateral: Education loans are usually unsecured or secured. If unsecured, they may come with a higher interest rate, while secured loans (backed by property or assets) usually offer lower rates. Some banks may offer loans without collateral for smaller amounts.
Tax Benefits: In some countries, education loans come with tax deductions on interest paid, making them a financially viable option.
Steps to Apply for an Education Loan
Research Loan Options: Start by researching the available education loan options in your home country. Compare interest rates, repayment terms, loan limits, and processing fees from different banks and financial institutions.
Determine the Loan Amount: Calculate the total cost of your education, including tuition fees, living expenses, and travel costs. Ensure that you take into account any scholarships or financial aid you may have received to determine the exact amount needed.
Check Eligibility: Different financial institutions have varying eligibility criteria. Generally, applicants should have a good academic record, and some may require a co-signer or a guarantor, especially if the loan amount is large.
Prepare Documentation: Banks typically require documents such as:
Proof of admission to a New Zealand university
Proof of academic qualifications
Passport and visa
Financial documents (like income proof, bank statements, etc.)
Collateral documents (if applicable)
Submit the Application: Complete the loan application form and submit all necessary documents to the bank or financial institution.
Loan Processing: Once the application is submitted, the bank will review your eligibility and assess your financial capacity. This process may take a few weeks, so it’s important to apply well in advance of your intended start date.
Approval and Disbursement: After approval, the loan amount will be disbursed directly to the university or to your bank account, depending on the terms set by the bank.
Tips for Getting Approved for an Education Loan
Maintain a Good Credit History: A solid credit history can increase your chances of securing a loan at a favorable rate. Make sure to maintain a good credit score in your home country.
Secure a Co-Signer: If your credit history is not strong enough, a co-signer (typically a parent or guardian) with a stable income can improve your chances of loan approval.
Provide Accurate Information: Ensure that all the documents you provided are accurate and complete. Discrepancies can delay the loan approval process or lead to rejection.
Research Scholarships: In addition to loans, explore scholarship opportunities offered by New Zealand universities, the New Zealand government, and other organizations to reduce the amount you need to borrow.
Conclusion
Studying in New Zealand offers an incredible opportunity for students to grow academically and personally. Education loans play a crucial role in making this dream a reality by providing the necessary financial support. By understanding the loan options available, comparing different financial institutions, and preparing well for the application process, students can secure the funding they need to study in one of the world’s most prestigious and scenic countries.

Fiber Cement Siding market -( 2024 -2030)
Fiber Cement Siding market
Fiber Cement Siding market size is forecasted to reach $2.81 billion by 2030, after growing at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period from 2024–2030. Increasing construction spending especially in new building construction and growing urbanization are the prime factors supporting the demand of fiber cement siding market. Single-family housing begins to move rapidly and fiber cement siding is the most common fiber cement product which continues to gain market share. Fiber cement siding takes on the look of wood or masonry but has concrete toughness because it contains a mixture of water, wood pulp, fly ash or silica sand, and Portland cement consisting of calcareous, clay, and iron.
Request Sample
Each fiber cement siding part joins together to create a product that is durable, but flexible. Fiber cement siding continues to gain popularity due to its versatility in architectural design. Manufacturers are introducing new textures, patterns, and colors to mimic traditional materials like wood, stone, and stucco. This allows homeowners and architects to achieve various aesthetic styles while benefiting from the durability and low maintenance of fiber cement. Additionally, advancements in manufacturing techniques enable the creation of larger panel sizes, reducing installation time and costs. As a result, fiber cement siding has become a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects seeking to combine visual appeal with long-lasting performance. With a focus on longevity and resilience, fiber cement siding trends include innovations aimed at improving durability and weather resistance. Manufacturers are developing proprietary formulations and coating technologies to enhance the material’s resistance to moisture, rot, insects, and UV radiation. These advancements extend the lifespan of fiber cement siding, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and repairs. Additionally, improved installation methods, such as concealed fastening systems and interlocking panels, contribute to better weatherproofing and protection against wind-driven rain and extreme weather events.

Nevertheless, as restrictions have eased from 2022 onwards, the sector has shown a robust recovery. Rising house sales, the initiation of new projects, and a growing demand for both office and commercial spaces have spearheaded the market’s resurgence over the past couple of years.

Business loans gone bad put family homes on the line - Information Today Web https://www.merchant-business.com/business-loans-gone-bad-put-family-homes-on-the-line/?feed_id=201918&_unique_id=66e8a93dcd1be #GLOBAL - BLOGGER BLOGGER Photo: RNZBusiness owners who put up their own assets as security for lending are being put into personal receivership in increasing numbers.Keaton Pronk, an insolvency practitioner with McDonald Vague, said there had been a “large jump” in personal receivership appointments, which started in June last year and has sped up considerably this year.There were 30 last year, two-thirds of which were after June. In August there had already been 31.He said most had been driven by a small number of business lenders promoting themselves on “quick and easy access to funds often at higher interest rates, with even higher penalty rates, than those available through traditional lending means”.As with a company, when an individual enters receivership, a creditor-appointed or court-appointed receiver takes over the person’s assets and tries to repay debts by managing the assets or selling them.Information published in the New Zealand Gazette shows receiverships being instigated by organisations such as Revive Finance, Fundtap, Prime Finance, and Ignite Solutions.“A lot of it comes through from second- and third-tier lenders, you see a lot of the online lending that you can do – a couple of clicks and you get the loan straight into your bank account kind of thing,” Pronk said.“As part of that paperwork, people are providing security in their own name not just their business name, It’s the very easy ‘click click click and the money’s there’ but they don’t fully understand the repercussions of perhaps what they’re doing and they’re not getting advice on reading the fine print.”He said people could end up paying high interest rates quickly, especially if they were charged penalties. “It can be 20 percent-plus.”He said the numbers were likely to continue to increase while the economy was soft. “It’s tough out there for businesses.”Damien Grant, of Waterstone Insolvency, agreed more lenders were taking personal general security agreements (GSAs) from borrowers.“That’s been a change in the market for the last two years. We’ve probably done more personal receiverships in the last three years than the decade leading up to it. It’s a change business practice.”He said it often took too long to enforce a personal guarantee agreement through the courts, so a personal GSA was a way to give lenders access to assets like property or shares if a company defaulted on a loan.It could take up to a year to resolve a personal receivership if it involved a family home he said.Grant said for every personal receivership recorded, there would be four or five that did not go that far because the person was able to restructure their lending or take out a second mortgage.Financial Services Federation executive director Lyn McMorran, which represents many lenders, said the number of insolvencies for businesses was increasing and it was likely that some of them had the family home linked as security.“Our members tend not to take personal security to the extent that the banks do. They are more likely to take security over the asset being purchased or they offer asset leasing alternatives so I’m not hearing anything about having to realise on personal security for business lending from our members.”Independent economist Shamubeel Eaqub said it was a symptom of the downturn, which had hit businesses harder than individuals this time. “Businesses are going under.”He said it made sense for lenders to want to hold some security against their loans. “Especially smaller businesses, it’s very hard to prove you’ve got the finances and track record to be able to borrow on the basis of that. Many businesses don’t have physical inventory that you can take security over. So what do you do? Either you borrow against your house and put the money into the business or you give a personal guarantee.”
