Foreigners should not be about to purchase land until they are working, tax paying, citizens of New Zealand. They should be capped at a maximum of two properties. They should be placed at the back of the line when I comes to prime real estate. They should not be able to purchase more than five hectares of land unless using it for some type of occupation e.g farming. Where they must employ New Zealanders.

Don't we already require approval for purchasing property from overseas purchasers. Overseas Investment commission.

 @9DTCTV3New Zealand Firstanswered…1yr1Y

Foreigners, if they are not living in NZ should not be allowed any purchase of land.

 @9D84MNFanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but with a caveat that their purchase of land contributes back to NZ and NZers in some way e.g., jobs, taxes, giving back to the land - like buy this land here and contribute xx to reforestation or roads or railway etc. etc.

 @9V878ZFanswered…2mos2MO

Foreigners should not be allowed to buy land at all. (Unless was for a wider community well being etc)

Foreign business should need consent and evidence of NZ benefits, plus higher tax. However Foreigners who intend to live and use the land should be allowed at standard rates. Local NZ business should have priority.

 @9G4MBY3answered…1yr1Y

Non citizen, non permanent residence should not be aloud to own land, property at all! full stop. That would be a very quick way to easy the housing market!

 @9G45JKSanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, I’d prefer if land to foreign buyers was leased land only. They should also be taxed higher on that purchase.

 @9G3BYHZOpportunitiesanswered…1yr1Y

Yes and make rights to purchase land reciprocal so that only citizens of countries which allow New Zealanders to purchase land have this right in NZ

 @9G343YTanswered…1yr1Y

whatever country allows new Zealanders to purchase land should be allowed to purchase land in new zealand but if they don't then we shouldn't allow them too either

 @9G3424Janswered…1yr1Y

No, only resurrections for migrants buying land not living in the country while claiming rent from citizens

No, people who are not NZ citizens or permanent residents should not be allowed to own NZ properties. Businesses should be NZ owned and operated too.

 @9F5HGZ4Greenanswered…1yr1Y

No not if they are living here. I think as long as they remain in NZ and don't go away for a certain period they should be allowed

 @9F3PYRBanswered…1yr1Y

Foreign buyers should be able to lease land for business purposes long term with environmental caveats in place

 @9F36NWPGreenanswered…1yr1Y

If they already have a house in another country then yes because they could then do tax evasion and no-one likes that

 @9F2ZC82answered…1yr1Y

Foreign investment is what has got us in the terrible state we are in- overseas investors buy here, go home and pay tax there, leave their partners and kids here to suck up the schooling system, bring their elders out to suck from the health system, while many, not all, do not contribute to the systems they suck from. House prices go up so our kids will NEVER own a home - this is not an answer to our problems here. Nationals new policy regarding overseas investment is like putting make up over a wound - it will not heal but it will look good for a little while.

 @9F2CFJKanswered…1yr1Y

No one living outside New Zealand should be eligible to purchase land or a house.

 @9DZVPTBanswered…1yr1Y

If a foreigner wants land and has money plenty of NZ companies happy to facilitate... None of this matters really.

 @9DZV9JTanswered…1yr1Y

Quotas or restrictions on the amount of land available for foreign ownership.
Priority access for citizens to certain types of land or properties.
Stringent criteria for foreign investors, ensuring that their projects align with national development goals and do not harm local interests.

 @9DRXV7Hanswered…1yr1Y

Foreigners who havnt made NZ as their permanent residence for 5+ years SHOULDN’T be purchasing NZ land.

 @9DRPXDCOpportunitiesanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, But there should be massive restrictions on foreign home ownership and land ownership. If a foreign person wants to buy a piece of land they should have to have things in place such as stewardship practices. And they have to purchase a piece of land for a NZer who doesn't own land that should be the costs bared.

 @9DCCQHCOpportunitiesanswered…1yr1Y

If you are not a permanent resident or citizen you have no business buying property.

 @9DBKDMDanswered…1yr1Y

No. Increasing taxes could add/up costs to residents and not those foreign - impact the cost-of-living/housing affordability. Perhaps placing limitations on purchase consents that would require prerequisite knowledge of te ao maori and te tiriti principles relevant to land use.

 @9DB2GBLanswered…1yr1Y

foreign corporations or landlords purchasing more than 2 houses should, and pay more tax, but not for foreign individuals buying a home

Yes, only if they do not plan on living on the land or using it for produce.

 @9D83RG5Nationalanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, unless they are moving here to live. If they are using it as an investment there should be increased tax/a more difficult process to attain that land giving citizens a chance

 @9D783Q7answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only to make sure that the owners will spend a certain amount of time in the country each year.
