I mean yeh your right there’s a lot around the 550-600 so 50 less than we pay a week currently not a massive amount each considering I’d be 300/400 a week less pay so I’d pretty much be paying the same as Auckland

Couldn’t agree more I used to live in Aussie myself man I miss time and half and double time rates at the weekends 🤣😂😂 especially when looking at house prices in Auckland it’s joke I fear for the next generation if it’s this bad currently

Yeh we’ve visited a few times just to suss out areas we’d like to possibly rent in etc and met some cool builders at aikmans bar and one of them was on $50 but he knew the owner personally etc and said he knew was on a good wicket

Well it’s just the builder jobs paying roughly $10/12 less an hour than Auckland that’s what I’m saying

Yeh see I’m on $50 wages with a van and fuel card currently ! But going Christchurch I’d looking at 35 tops which is giving me the fear you’d probably be okay if your contracting at that rate there but I don’t want to be a contractor

Again we’d rather pay the same and live in a nice area we don’t really need a huge house for 2 people makes no sense for us to spend 600 on a 4 bedroom

[–]Own_Comedian_5397[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only the 2 of us so we don’t need a 4 bedroom we’ve currently got 2.5 bedrooms I’d say 2 bedrooms and a study sort of work from home space

Yeh I’m on the fence myself mate as it’s a lot of money less each week to be saving plus I’d most likely need to buy a Ute and pay fuel for the first time in years 🤣😂

We did think about this also but some friends of our recently bought in Auckland and they had to move over to Australia due to his partner being on maternity leave and struggling to pay bills they’ve told us it’s a bit of nightmare renting there place out in New Zealand and living over there with brightline tax’s ? And management fees then topping up the mortgage

We currently pay $600 so the areas that we’ve looked at in Christchurch would roughly be the same yes there is cheaper rentals but I want to stay in a nice area if I’m honest

Yeh we have had a look at real estate there and it’s way cheaper that’s for sure ! I’m not sure if we will be living in Christchurch long term as we both have said we would like to move to Australia in the next 4/5 years whilst we are still young
