I hope you’ve found a great house now, Robert and that you’re enjoying life in Christchurch. Given our earthquake history, through due diligence is absolutely essential when purchasing a home.

Why not buy a new build?

Looking forward to showing you through! 😄

oh exactly same as me , what did you do for flatting there?

The section is 501sqm so might be a bit tight for that I’m afraid! Unless you were to convert the garage.

@@griffioencaleb Noted with thanks.

This property has now sold, I'm afraid!

@@griffioencaleb Blessed are the new owner who bought it.

Yes we are seeing more people leave the country, but we're seeing more arrivals at the same time. Migration stats for June showed a net gain of 86,800 people. www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/international-migration-june-2023

Let's go cruisin around the four aves!

Haha!!

New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. If you are concerned about earthquakes then you should probably avoid buying property in most parts of New Zealand or other seismically active areas of the Earth.

Hope you can visit Ōtautahi soon!

Dog box

your home. Most things are unaffordable.

Hope you’re happy in your new town or city, Elizabeth ☺️

I know city. Don't go by videos. This city sitting on tectonic plate. Any big earthquake will take investments to dust. It happened in past. Auckland, Hamilton are safe

​@@virenderkaleramna1540thanks for the info man!

Hey Nikhil! International fees for a Bachelor of Arts at UC is around $30,000 NZD for the year. Here’s a link to a helpful comparison chart for student accommodation at the University of Canterbury as a guide: www.canterbury.ac.nz/media/documents/accommodation/First-Year-Hall-Comparison-Chart-2023.pdf You might also want to explore options at Ara Institute of Technology or Lincoln University as well 😊

thanks for this brother it's very useful ☺️ I am from India

I'm so pleased to hear you had a great time here! Sing out if you're ever thinking of moving to the Garden City. 😃

Try it in winter, fog , freezing and it stays that way.

@@dorrisday1518 you're not wrong! unless you have one of those crisp, clear days with the sun out :)

@@griffioencaleb I own a house in Charing Cross

@@dorrisday1518 more than 100 metres more above sea level than Christchurch is, you're going to be getting different weather than the city

98% of what I’m saying is in English, Denys.

@@griffioencaleb perfect reply! Nothing wrong with Maori.

bro, just learn the native language. if you're confused about something, try learning it instead of throwing your toys out the cot when someone says words you don't understand.

@@crownart3668 you forgot to write your reply in maori. maori is significantly less important in the world than latin or espiranto, but it is right up there with klingon or elvish. virtually everyone in nz knows english - those who don't are more likely to speak chinese than maori.

@@superkiwistar would you understand the reply if it was in maori?? you're treating an entire native language as if it's irrelevant bc the area its from got colonized. nobody speaks the language because nobody bothers to learn, and when they DO, they get complaints from people like you who are too stubborn to learn anything other than english. and of course people are more likely to speak mandarin than maori?? mandarin is literally the most spoken language, but you wouldn't know that because you think that anyone who isnt white as paper should go back to where they came from.

Hahah small world eh? Hope you're keeping well, mate!

There are none here....they left.

In what way…?

Eurgh the Council really dragged the chain in getting the sewerage treatment plant sorted! Hope you’re enjoying life in Timaru, Nik!

Agreed! Those winters get pretty crisp. Now that you've been here for a couple of years, is there anything you wish you had known about living in Christchurch before you made the move?
