Ever wondered why your neighbour seems so well off?

The greater proportion of family wealth in New Zealand is derived from the ownership of residential property.

Houses. Apartments. Units. Flats.

Places people live in.

The wonderful thing about this is that absolutely anyone of average means can make this type of investment. Many reading this article perhaps don't realise that they already have made such an investment and are perfectly comfortable with it, in that they have bought the home they now live in, whether or not they have a mortgage on it.

So would it be all that hard to own TWO? The second one being to increase your wealth and give you an income later in life?

So who should you talk to?

That's where the Rolston Group of Companies comes in. We believe that our skill, experience and reputation in building quality homes and providing sound financial advice makes us your best choice of partner in increasing your wealth through residential property ownership. It might be your first home, the one you plan to live in, or it might be your first dabble in residential property for rental, as an investment.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand the foundation stones that make for sound residential property investment. They are:

• The generation of income
• The reduction of tax
• The creation of capital growth …(meaning that your asset grows in value)

May we introduce ourselves

The Rolston Group of Companies has a thorough understanding of the investment property market and is here to help. What do we mean by a GROUP of companies?

Well, we've split our expertise and resources up into various specialities, each closely looked after by one of our senior people. These specialities include, arranging of mortgages, design and construction of the property, rental management and taxation advice through accountants who are specialists in property taxation. But don't worry. We'll assign you just one person from our group to co-ordinate everything. As things progress, they will introduce you to others, while remaining your ultimate contact.

Isn't building a hassle these days?

You may have already looked at having a house built, only to find an amazing array of "add-on costs" for such things as excavation, retaining walls, security systems, whiteware, drapes, tiling, carpeting and many other items. These things diminish the dream.

The Rolston Group can restore that dream. At any given time, we have a number of residences being built, having allowed us to developed excellent relationships with contractors and suppliers. They provide high quality products and workmanship, and because we offer them a consistency of work and supply orders, they reward us with highly competitive prices.

And lastly, we are family

You have never seen us quoted in all the publicity about leaky homes or other shady practices. Fact is that we offer the highest standards of design and construction that you could buy anywhere, and we create really rather beautiful places to live in, whether for you or your tenant. We are a family, just like you. Values are important to us. So, we understand the importance of long term relationships with our clients and partners. We predict that if you take us on as a partner now, we'll still be together a decade on. WHY? Because you are a smart investor, and we are The Rolston Group of Companies.
