250 Ormond Road, Mangapapa, Gisborne, 4010, New Zealand

If it’s a first step onto the property ladder you’re looking for, Mangapapa is always a solid place to start. Check out your Kiwisaver and investigate the Kainga Ora Home Start Grant – this one may qualify!

OR, if it’s a first-time investment or addition to your existing portfolio, then this one should pique your interest; particularly given a starting fixed price, but also … these tenants have been long standing for so many years.

A compact home, but proven to be very workable for singles, couples or a small family. Brimming with ample opportunity for those keen on some easy D.I.Y; this is a 1950s classic weatherboard home awaiting someone with the get-up-and-go to sprinkle a little T.L.C.

Set to the front of the 659m² site, means there is plenty of off-road parking out front, and out back you will discover a much larger backyard than you’d expect. All fenced, with a small outbuilding, it’s calling out for a summer gardening revival; the perfect project for those with green fingers or continue with the laid back rambling Kiwiana style.
