Make no mistake - there is maintenance required here - but the fundamentals are all in place for a proven performer, that could be the cornerstone of your portfolio for years to come, if you are willing to roll your sleeves up. Ideal for seasoned investors seeking scale, land bankers looking for long-term value, or those wanting a high performing holding in Wellington's tightest rental catchment. Our vendors have owned this property as a blue-chip investment with strong occupancy, but family plans have changed, creating an opportunity for the next owner to step in at an advantageous moment - don't miss the Sunday viewing.
