TO BUILD OR NOT TO BUILD? • - T\^ 1 m &<* -t < 'M With rising costs, many people who have been contemplating building homes may be uncertain whether to proceed, or to defer building in the hope that costs may at some later date be more favourable. In giving consideration to this matter certain factors cannot be ignored, viz.:— (a) A serious house shortage definitely exists. (b) Speculative building is not being undertaken to the extent required to meet the demand for housing. (c) Private ownership is desirable. An examination of these factors indicates that to be assured of satisfactory housing accommodation many people will have to build their own homes, and we should therefore consider the position as to whether the venture may be looked upon as a sound investment on to-day's cost figures. The financial means at the disposal of the various prospective home builder, will vary very materially, but it will be sufficient for our purpose to take an average moderately-priced home of £750 (about 1100 feet to 1200 feet of floor space), plus section costing £250; a total expenditure of £ I 000. Although the State Advances Corporation of New Zealand may not be prepared to loan more than two-thirds or thereabouts of this amount, for the purpose of examining the investment we shall assume that the whole £IOOO is borrowed capital bearing interest at the Government rate of 4£ per cent. Those who are fortunate enough to possess one-third ng of the required capital would not, of course, have to face the same he annual outgoings, although the value of their own money contribution cannot be ignored. bo To repay £IOOO under the State Advances Corporation of New Zealand table, based on a 25-year term, the half-yearly payment per £IOO is £3/4/6, or £64/10/- per annum to repay £l'Doo. The annual payment would work out approximately as under:— £ s. d. Repayment of interest and principal .... 64 10 0 £ Fire insurance, say .... .... .... •••• ■>••• 3 0 0 •?j Rates, say 7 10 0 1 Allowance of I i per cent for repainting, repairs, etc. 11 5 0 on £B6 5 0 This gives a weekly rate of 33/2 to cover the cost of principal, mC interest and other charges. Now compare this with (the average rental required for a new five-roomed house. di- I n the one case the weekly outgoing provides for repayment of the principal sum of £IOOO spread over 25 years, and in the case of a t rented home the weekly outgoing is for the privilege of occupation only. N t, Private ownership is worthy of the serious consideration of every :ho citizen, and, although costs may be reaching a comparatively high level, ate they are still at a point where prospective home builders may go ahead ird with the assurance that their capital is well and safely invested. —Article and illustration contributed by Ellis arid Burnand Ltd., Hamilton The perfect base for all interior decoration!
