Retirement should feel easy, comfortable, and full of life—not cold, damp, or impractical.
Many Auckland homes built decades ago are anything but retirement ready. They’re often draughty, mould-prone, costly to heat and impossible to cool. Talk to the friendly team at Green Homes Auckland to find out how a GreenSpec rebuild will enable you stay in the neighbourhood you cherish, but in a home that’s healthier, happier and easier to run.
Why Upgrade or Rebuild?
- Stay Independent: Avoid the rest home or apartment lifestyle. Keep your own space, your own garden, low-maintenance, raised beds and astro turf.
- Lower Bills, More Freedom: A green home means low or no power bills, and if you add EV charging, low or no petrol bills too.
- Better Health, Fewer Doctor Visits: Fresh air, even temperatures, and dry spaces reduce respiratory issues and stress.
- Stay Where You Are: Good land in Auckland is scarce. Keep the location you love, stay close to your friends and community, but make your home fit for retirement.
- Unlock Capital: Knock down and rebuild, or subdivide your section. Free up equity while creating a home that suits your lifestyle.
- Or Move Closer to Family: Build near your kids and grandkids, spend more time together.
- Income Options: Add a minor dwelling for rental income or family flexibility. Perfect for hosting guests or helping kids into the market.
- Single-Level Living: No stairs, no stress—just easy movement and comfort.
- Lifemark Design: Future-proof your home with wider doorways, level entries, and accessible bathrooms. These features cost little now and saves a lot later.
- Adaptable Spaces: Multi family living designs give flexibility as your family needs change.
