Default LTBV

Hi Wendie,

We came over on a LTBV too, been here two months now. Whilst it is a very quick route into the country... took us 2 & 1/2 months from application including only 5 days from allocation to approval; it also has it's pitfalls... not having residency means that most mortgage lenders want 20% deposit. This to us, means that we are forced to rent for longer than we had hoped because we do not want to move the majority of our money out of the UK while the NZ Dollar is so strong.

In answer to your original question all Business applications are handled in Wellington.
