PHOTO: SUPPLIED – Angela Cuming is looking for a home for herself, her husband and their three children.
Hamilton woman Angela Cuming is moving to Dunedin in search of an affordable first home for her family.
She and her husband had always thought they would settle in the Waikato city. But, when they applied for a mortgage, they were disappointed.
Although they had saved $80,000 for a deposit and had household income of $130,000, they were priced out.
“Having three kids makes it more difficult. So a friend of mine moved from Auckland to Dunedin and loved it and we went from ‘ha, that’s a thought’ to ‘hey, let’s seriously consider this’. The house prices were a big drawcard, obviously, but we’ve both been down to Dunedin and love it. And happily neither of us mind the cold.”
