Looking for advice on relocatables

[Pegasus]

Hi everyone

I am new to the forum and am looking for anyone in the know about moving a relocatable home onto a section for resale. My partner and I have been making our living renovating and trading properties for the last few years in the lower price brackets in Whangaparaoa. We're noticing a few sections going cheap around here and are thinking of having a go at relocating a second hand house (we have one in mind) and renovating for resale. This would be our first one of these and as it means veering away from what we normally do, I would love hear from someone who has done it before about the pitfalls or things to be aware of. So if there is anyone out there with words of wisdom in this area, I would love to hear from you. Also if anyone in Rodney would recommend or not a house moving cpy. We're considering Haines right now.

Thanks in advance
Anju

Use craig walker in Kumeu,they are excellent. Be careful of Haines they have/had a reputation for leaving jobs half finished.

I have been seriously looking at this as a possibility in another area. Also interested in hearing the experiences of others and the likely costs involved including foundations, utility reconnection etc.

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks Ryutara

Much appreciated, I will give craig walker a call.

Would love to hear something of your experience if you have done a relocatable and feel like posting...

Yes
Have been involved in a few of these 2nd hand house projects in the lower North Island--All councils seem to have slightly different rules --but the process is similar everywhere
I could have a phone conversation sometime--but do not know how this property talk system works- so you will have to bear with me-- i gather there is a private message system
