The Maintenance Myth: Why ‘Low Maintenance’ Properties Still Need Love⎥Ep. 2281
Townhouses are now a big slice of New Zealand’s new builds. But some investors worry these modern builds could look tired, cheap, or even slum-like in a decade. So … will they?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew uncover what makes some townhouses age beautifully – while others fall apart.
You’ll learn:
- 3 key warning signs a townhouse won’t age well
- Why cladding type, location, and upkeep make all the difference
- How to spot a “future slum” before you buy
Ed and Andrew reveal real examples and explain how to tell if your new build will stand the test of time.
