Speaker: Cameron Bagrie & Paul Kos

At this meeting, we bring two technical subjects together, both of which will have significant implications for us as property investors in the Capital.

Firstly, we hear from the esteemed ANZ economists as they gaze into their crystal balls to paint a picture of our economy, and the property markets in particular, into the coming months and years ahead. Have we stabilized somewhat? Is this as bad as it gets? Or is this just the eye of the storm until rising unemployment really starts to impact the spending power of our tenants and buyers? And what about interest rates… will there be a respite from the relatively high longer term rates, and will short term rates really remain low for as long as Allan Bollard indicated in his recent announcement?

Secondly, a topic of terrific mystery to most of us… Council planning! A Wellington City Council planner will paint a picture of the council’s long-term vision for our city, and the likely implications for property investors. The Airport to Ngauranga corridor, infill housing and urban intensification, the supply of new land for residential development… these are all topics that will influence the supply and demand of real estate in our city, and therefore impact the long-term results of our portfolios. This is also important information when considering the best locations for your strategic property purchases.

Come along and pick the brains of these experts, and reap the rewards!
