🏡 Healthy Homes: Smart Policy or Red Tape Nightmare? | Full Breakdown with NZ Property Expert

Are New Zealand’s Healthy Homes Standards protecting tenants—or punishing landlords?

In this eye-opening interview, we sit down with one of New Zealand’s top property experts to pull back the curtain on what the Healthy Homes policy really means in 2025. Is it a smart move for rental quality—or a bureaucratic blunder that's strangling investor confidence?

Whether you're a seasoned property investor, a first-time landlord, or a tenant who wants to understand your rights—this conversation lays it all bare.

We cut through the jargon. No political fluff. No corporate spin. Just straight-up answers to the questions that matter:

What do the Healthy Homes regulations actually require in 2025?

Who benefits most—tenants, the government, or third-party contractors?

How are landlords coping with the rising compliance costs?

Could this be the final straw for mum-and-dad investors?

Are we solving the rental crisis—or creating a new one?

💬 Here’s the truth: the Healthy Homes rollout has become one of the most polarising debates in New Zealand property. And in this episode, we don’t hold back.

Whether you're renovating your rental, considering a new investment, or just trying to stay compliant—this is must-watch viewing.
