Introduction
Due to the high expenses that are incurred in buying a new house in New Zealand many
people opt to relocate their houses instead of buying new ones. The idea of relocating a house
to the new residential place is a great idea but achieving it in real life situations is greater.
Sometimes people tend to choose not to leave behind their houses due to the great memories
they have in that house or sometimes because they cannot be able to afford acquiring another
(Council, 2017).

Otago daily times has as clearly indicated that the value of houses prices in New Zealand has
been ranked among the most overvalued behind Hong Kong. New Zealand's housing debt sat
at 89% of GDP, as per the report. The report was published the time when New Zealand’s
median house price increased by 3.6% year-on-year in august to $549,000, as per the report
by the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand. The median house price of Auckland also grew
by 1.4% b in August to $852,000, the city's first year-on-year increase in six months.
On the other side acquiring a moved house is much cheap as compared to buying a new one
or constructing g a new house (Waitzman, 2016). Many people currently are carefully on
buying relocated houses due to the facts that they are cheaper and it is possible to be moving
withy them considering the fact that the relocating expenses are not that high.
Before relocating a house, the owner should consider the phases that has to be done in order
to have the house relocated from on area to another.

building consent to;

(Richard, 2017)
Other useful information the owner will be required to give include;
 All the architectural drawings indicating the site plan of the original site and the
elevations
 The layout of the foundation and the subfloor framing for the new location of the
building.
