Intensive day of filling out legal documents. In order to get the finances together, we will need our own deposit, plus both our KiwiSaver accounts emptied, plus an extra $10,000 for the government's First Home Grant (2x $5k). So today, we applied for the grants, and sent them to NZ Housing Corp (from Kainga Ora, as they're called these days).
Also, we sent a statement to the Lawyer to say we're legally entitled to purchase land in NZ; i.e., we're actually resident in New Zealand, and have passports and visas to match that claim.
I'm sure there's a ton more documents to be signed - we'll hit them one by one.
