  Corsair properties ltd

  Jan 1990 - Jan 2001

  Director

  My experience in the financial broking arena brought me into contact with a large number of property developers and investors. As bank conditions altered It became more difficult to get first home owners into properties. I devised a deferred settlement arrangement which I suggested to some of my developer clients. They failed to grasp the true value of the concept and wanted their profit immediately so I set up Corsair Properties Ltd and:o Negotiated purchase of houses from Housing NZo Recruited and supervised a team of builders for renovationso Developed and maintained strong relationships with various councilso Negotiated approval as a Building Apprentice facilityo Designed “Rent to Buy” concept. This became the format on which current contracts are basedo Renovated or built over 300 properties and sold them using Rent to Buy.o Enabled over 300 families to purchase homes they would not normally have qualified for.
