Auckland has been one of the weaker-performing housing markets over the past year, with residential property values down 3.2%. It's also home to the vast majority of New Zealand's apartments.

Which raises an interesting chicken-and-egg question: is Auckland underperforming because it has more apartments? Or are apartments underperforming because so many of them are in Auckland?

Matt Edginton, Valuations Director at Prendos, crunches the numbers and finds the answer isn’t that straightforward.

When one of our valued clients expressed frustration with their existing property managers, it accelerated a move Prendos had already been planning – to launch a new Commercial Property Management service.

Having supported our client through technical due diligence and other advisory work, we were well placed to take on the role of Commercial Property Managers, bringing a more informed and proactive approach to managing their portfolio.

It's a natural extension of the work Prendos has been doing alongside property owners and investors for decades.

Are standalone homes really the safest bet when it comes to property investment? Conventional wisdom says they are, but the data tells a more nuanced story.

Prendos Valuations Director Matt Edginton looked at a decade of housing market data and found almost all of the performance gap between housing types emerged during a single 16-month period between 2020 and 2021.

What happened before and after that might surprise you.

Technical Due Diligence (TDD) is often thought of as an assessment of the building fabric. But for operational facilities with specialised services, plant and machinery, there’s much more to it.

Surveying the building itself will only tell you so much – you also need to understand how the systems within the building interact, what keeps the operation running, and where an issue with the property could affect the wider business.

That’s where the ability to quickly pull together a coordinated team of specialists is critical, as Prendos Director Rory Crosbie explains in our latest article.

When a building is identified as earthquake prone, demolition can seem like the most straightforward option. But it’s not always the most commercially or environmentally sound one.

The Government’s proposed changes to the EPB system could soon make remediation even more realistic for some buildings. But it still doesn’t mean every building is suitable for reuse.

In our latest article, Prendos Director and Chartered Structural Engineer Cathy Thomas explains why the decision to retain or demolish should always be based on a proper feasibility assessment.

From due diligence and condition assessments to remediation projects and asset management, good outcomes rely on accurate information.

Our new 3D scanning technology captures buildings in exceptional detail within seconds, creating a permanent digital record that can be accessed from anywhere. This reduces the need for repeat site visits, improves collaboration between project stakeholders and provides a visual record that can be referenced long after the initial survey has been completed.

It's one of the ways we're continuing to invest in innovative tools and technologies that help our clients make informed property decisions.

As the proposed Earthquake Prone Building (EPB) reforms move towards a more risk-based approach, building owners in lower seismic zones like Auckland may have greater flexibility in how they manage seismic risk.

But that flexibility comes with a challenge: knowing what really matters for life safety, and what doesn’t.

Prendos Director and Chartered Structural Engineer Cathy Thomas discusses why good engineering judgement will be more important than ever under a less prescriptive EPB framework.

Prendos Director Mike Woods was invited to speak at the recent New Zealand Institute of Building Surveyors - NZIBS conference on the role of AI in building surveying, covering practical applications, emerging risks and the importance of maintaining trust in an AI-enabled profession.

AI has significant potential to improve how surveyors research, analyse and deliver their work. But as the technology rapidly evolves, the fundamentals of professional judgement, verification and accountability remain as important as ever.

It's an area we're actively exploring at Prendos, to ensure our clients continue to benefit from informed, evidence-based advice backed by real-world expertise.

What if house prices don't grow as fast over the next 25 years as they did over the last 25?

Between 1992 and 2019, New Zealand house prices grew by an average of around 6.8% per year. That period shaped an entire generation's view of property investment. But will the future look the same?

With improved housing supply, changing demographics and a less speculative market, investors may need to rely more on rental income and less on capital gains.

The next chapter of New Zealand property could look very different from the last. Prendos Valuations Director Matt Edginton shares his thoughts on where the market will go from here.

Prendos Director Mike Woods and COO Steven Woodman were at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington earlier this week for a student-industry networking event.

The relaxed session gave students studying built environment subjects the chance to meet people working in the industry, ask questions about career opportunities, and learn how they can set themselves up for success.

One student said his biggest takeaway from our team was: “success in the industry always comes down to being a people person”, which is something we’ve always believed in. Technical expertise matters, but strong relationships, communication and collaboration are just as important.

Thank you to Wellington Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation for the opportunity to be part of this event.
