8 Tonga Place

About 8 Tonga Place

Welcome to Wolfbrook Residential
We build thoughtfully designed developments in high growth areas for both homeowners and investors alike. We understand that there is no cookie-cutter solution to building a property. No two streets, communities or suburbs are the same, and therefore no two developments should be the same.

Wolfbrook Residential’s founding shareholders James Cooney and Steve Brooks have a long history in the property industry and take a long-term view on property. Together they own in excess of 300 residential properties. James and Steve bring to the table a strong understanding of what customers and tenants require in new affordable housing and know how to deliver a product that is affordable without cutting corners.

We don’t just simply find a piece of land and slap a building on it – we identify opportunities, research the market thoroughly and strategically select viable locations for developments. From there we work with award-winning architects to build properties that have been carefully considered to optimise the market demands of those locations and their local amenities.

We leverage our experience so our clients can reach their financial goals and experience financial freedom.

The Development
This fantastic new development, 8 Tonga Place, is comprised of 17 architecturally designed townhouses, with off-street carparking and EV chargers. There are seven 2-bedroom townhouses and ten 3-bedroom townhouses, all with high quality appliances and thoroughly thought-out design.

The 2-bedroom units have an open plan layout on the ground floor, with an island style kitchen to maximise space and storage options, there is also a handily located guest toilet on this level. The living space opens to a beautifully landscaped courtyard, with a timber deck. Upstairs, are two double bedrooms with built in wardrobes. This is where the main bathroom is also located, with a floating vanity to create spaciousness and a tiled shower for easy cleaning.

The 3-bedroom units are designed with two different layouts either over two or three levels. In units 1-6, on the ground floor you will find an open plan kitchen and dining area, with an L shaped kitchen to maximise space, the living area opens to a timber deck and beautifully landscaped area to enjoy the sunny mornings in. On the second floor, there is one double bedroom with the main bathroom, storage space and a washing cupboard. The third floor holds the remaining two double bedrooms, with an ensuite in the master. There is also ample storage space in this area.

In units 7-9 and unit 12, the 3-bedrooms are set over two levels. On the ground floor, there is a double bedroom with an ensuite, also an open plan kitchen and living area. The island style kitchen means that the counter can also be used as a breakfast bar. The living area opens onto a generously sized courtyard with timber decking. Upstairs, you will find the remaining two bedrooms, along with the main bathroom – complete with a stylish tiled shower and floating vanity.

With Prime Stone bench tops, tiled splashbacks and quality stainless steel appliances used in all kitchens, as well as durable flooring and carpet, these townhouses will be the perfect investment for years to come.

Wolfbrook homes are ‘move-in’ ready on settlement, meaning that your home comes equipped with a heat pump to keep you warm and dry in winter and cool in summer, keyless front door entry, blinds, a washer and dryer machine and stainless-steel appliances.

Maintenance Period & Building Warranties
Wolfbrook only uses trusted building products, tradespeople and building systems when constructing your new property. We take pride in our work and stand behind our properties after all we build the same properties for ourselves! All Wolfbrook properties have a 1-year defects remedy period and a 10-year structural warranty, pursuant with the Building Act.

When you settle your Wolfbrook property you will receive a comprehensive pack containing information on Warranties and Maintenance for the products used in the construction of the property. The products used carry manufacturers warranties and are covered under the Consumer Guarantees Act.

What if there are minor defects I notice?
Give us a call on the contact numbers provided in your Wolfbrook Warranties and Maintenance information pack and we will get one of our team on the job and ensure your new property is up to standard. Alternatively, you can contact suppliers direct on the numbers provided if you believe there is a defect in the product quality.

Is my Wolfbrook home covered by a Master Build Guarantee?
A Master Build Guarantee is one of a number of residential build guarantees available in New Zealand. While it is a great product, we feel it is best suited to new build contracts where progress payments are taken by the builder. When your sales agreement goes unconditional you will pay a 10% deposit and nothing further until settlement. Your deposit on your new Wolfbrook property will be held in a Solicitors Trust account until the property is completed, title is issued, and settlement takes place.

Some of the other benefits offered by a Master Build Guarantee such as a 10-year structural warranty are also covered by the Building Act and Manufacturers and Suppliers warranty or guarantee.

If you would like further information on the above let’s talk further.

2 Year Rental Guarantee
We understand that investing in property can be daunting
– that’s why at Wolfbrook we’ve decided to take some of he guesswork out of it for you. We are offering a 2 Year ental Guarantee* if you buy from us and choose to have our property managed by us. Like we said, we stand by our product… and our word.

*T&C’s apply please visit www.wolfbrook.co.nz

Residents Society
Your new property will have a freehold title – you own the land, and anything built on it, but as you share common areas (or walls) with your neighbours its best to have an agreement that protects your property long into the future. A Residents agreement does just that – it sets up a professionally managed Residents Society that helps anage and maintain the communal facilities of the development for benefit of all owners. It will ensure the evelopment is adequately insured and common areas re safe, clean and a well-presented environment.
