Advocacy for Property Investors Across New Zealand
At the NZ Property Investors Federation, we believe effective advocacy is key to building a fair and sustainable rental market in New Zealand.
We’re committed to representing the interests of property investors by working closely with key groups to tackle important issues and shape a better environment for everyone in the housing market.
Our Advocacy Focus Areas
Engaging with Politicians
We proactively connect with lawmakers to promote a balanced approach to property investment policies. A significant achievement has been our advocacy for the restoration of interest deductibility, a crucial measure that ensures fair tax treatment for property investors. This reform not only supports individual investors but also enhances the overall health of the private rental market.
Collaborating with Industry Leaders
Working together is vital for driving meaningful change. NZPIF partners with industry leaders and organisations to amplify our collective voice and promote policies that benefit property investors. By uniting efforts, we can tackle the complexities of the housing market and advocate for solutions that serve both investors and tenants alike.
Influencing the Media Narrative
We recognise the power of media in shaping public perception. Our advocacy reaches into this landscape, where we strive to elevate the conversation around property investment issues. By sharing insights through various channels, we highlight the essential role that property investors play in providing housing solutions and addressing challenges in the rental market. Informed discussions lead to better policies.
Interaction with Government Officials
Our advocacy initiatives involve government officials, where we take an active role in discussions and consultations. We submit formal proposals and offer insights on initiatives, including incentives for landlords who take on emergency housing tenants. Through these efforts, we aim to develop practical solutions that address the current housing crisis while ensuring a stable environment for property investment.
