About Recycled Homes

A Smarter Path to Home Ownership

We relocate quality existing homes onto new land, upgrade them to the New Zealand Building Code, and deliver a finished, finance-ready home at a fraction of new build costs.

🏠

Relocated, Not Second-Best

Quality timber-framed homes saved from demolition and given new life on your land. Built with proven construction methods, these homes have stood the test of time.

💰

Fixed-Price, No Surprises

Every package is a single fixed-price contract. Land, house, relocation, foundations, services, and finishing. No hidden costs, no budget blowouts.

🛡

Fully Insured & Guaranteed

Insurance coverage during relocation plus the Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee through the NZ Certified Builders Association. Your investment is protected from day one.

🌱

Sustainable Housing

Every relocated home is saved from demolition and landfill. Less waste, fewer raw materials, and a meaningful step toward sustainable housing in New Zealand.

3 to 4 Month Delivery

From setup to keys in hand. Compared to 8 to 12 months or more for a standard new build. Faster into your home, faster building equity.

📈

Built-In Equity

Properties are independently valued after house placement. Clients typically see equity created before interior work even begins.

Non-Negotiable Standards

Some houses may need additional work to meet our standards, such as fuse box upgrades, roofing repairs, safety glass in bathrooms, or weatherboard repairs. These are addressed before any renovation work begins. If the house already has quality items like a new heat pump, that budget flows into your renovation package instead.

Renovation Package

After all essential upgrades are complete, the remaining budget goes toward your renovation package. Depending on your total budget, this could include a new kitchen, bathroom renovation, solar power, a garage, or a large deck and pergola. You choose how to spend it within your available budget.

What Makes Us Different

No other company in New Zealand offers a complete fixed-price, fully insured, relocated home package with a 10-year guarantee.

Every house is independently inspected with a full written condition report before we purchase it. No surprises.

3D Renders Before You Commit

See exactly what your finished home will look like with architect-provided 3D renders before you accept a package.

Vetted Subtrades

All subtrades including architects, engineers, and planners are chosen for reputation and quality. All must hold current licences and insurances.

No Variations Policy

Once your package is signed, there are no variations. What you agree to is what you get. This keeps the process streamlined and on budget.

Built for Equity

Every package is designed with equity in mind. We only create packages where the finished value exceeds the package price based on local median values.

Licensed & Certified

Built by a Licensed Building Practitioner and NZCB member. Backed by the Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee.

Nationwide Service

Not restricted to Auckland. We operate across all regions of New Zealand with multiple projects running concurrently.

Better Value Than New

Most standalone properties have defects and sell at high prices. Recycled Homes delivers a higher quality standalone home at a more affordable price.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Recycled Homes process.

A recycled home is a quality existing house that is relocated from its original site to a new section of land. The house is placed on new foundations, connected to all services, and upgraded to meet the New Zealand Building Code. It is a sustainable, affordable alternative to building new, and can be completed in 3 to 4 months.
Land and house packages start from $750,000. If you already own land, house-only packages start from $500,000. Every package is fixed-price with no hidden costs. The exact price depends on the land, house, and scope of work.
The full process from setup to handover typically takes 3 to 4 months. This compares to 8 to 12 months or more for a standard new build. The exact timeline depends on council processing times and the scope of renovation work.
Yes. Every Recycled Homes project is covered by the Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee through the New Zealand Certified Builders Association. This covers workmanship and materials defects for 2 years and structural defects for 10 years.
Yes. We prepare finance-ready packages that include QS reports, builder credentials, consent pathways, and full insurance documentation. Several NZ banks already lend on relocated homes. Our packages are designed to meet bank requirements from the start.
Building consent is required for new foundations, drainage, services, and any structural alterations. However, the relocated house itself does not need to be entirely brought up to the current Building Code (Section 112, Building Act 2004). Relocated houses do not require any council inspections during the move unless structural changes are made. Only foundations need council sign-off, which removes a massive layer of risk for lenders.
No. Recycled Homes operates nationwide across New Zealand. With 45 haulage companies operating across the country and demand for affordable housing in every region, our model works anywhere land is available and quality homes need saving.
Packages under $1M are our "Plug and Play" option. Every house selected within this budget must be liveable before and after the move with minimal renovation work. No major renovations, structural changes, or layout changes are included. The house is relocated and placed as-is. Any upgrades can be arranged after the Recycled Homes package is completed and CCC is achieved. This keeps the process simple and limits risk for the bank and the client.
