One of the biggest challenges in Central Otago is finding a home—whether you’re renting or buying, the market can be competitive.

But don’t worry, with a bit of planning and local know-how, you’ll be in the best position to secure a place that suits your needs.

Below are some expert tips and resources to help you get started.

Renting a Home

Preparing a Rental CV can be a game-changer in making a strong impression on property managers and setting yourself apart from other applicants.

If you have pets, consider creating a Pet CV to boost your chances of approval.

Start your search at least three months before your planned move to give yourself plenty of time to find the right place.

Additionally, filling out online application forms in advance can help streamline the process and improve your chances of securing a rental quickly.
