The first home given away by the Faisandier Group has found a new home.
The tidy two-bedroom house that was given away after developers bought the section of Lower Hutt it sits in has found a new home and a new family.
Former owner Benjamin Johnson said the building had found new owners and will move to its new site in March. Now, he is giving away a second home, which is also on land owned by the developers.
“Our lovely little two bedroom house has found a wonderful new home and family yay!” Johnson wrote in a post on Facebook.
“We now have a second home in Naenae to give away on behalf of the developers, Faisandier Group. The same conditions as before. ”

The second home, one of four located on the four-section lot Faisandier purchased for a new medium-density development, is considerably larger than Johnson’s two-bed cabin.
A four bed bungalow, the house is 130 square meters with two reception rooms, a bathroom and a bathroom, its size and shape means that the house will have to be divided in half to move in, so it will cost much more to move than the first free house.

A second home is being given away in Naenae, Lower Hutt.
Johnson said: “It is also an opportunity to hold the speculative market to account and change the culture around development in New Zealand to ensure that quality usable homes are not wasted.”
He estimated the cost to be over $ 100,000 to relocate the building.
“It’s another wonderful house,” Johnson wrote in his post. “The original part of the house is wooden boards and solid bones. The later addition is less than 20 years old and wooden planks to match the original. “
Despite the additional costs and sizing issues, the same strict criteria apply to claiming the first home: the home must be moved off-site by March 26, and prospective owners will need to show they can do so and have a place to place it before they do. you can claim it.
The developer waives any fee or price for the building in lieu of a donation to Te Omanga Hospice.
Johnson, who is the founder of Wellington The Free Store, said he wanted giveaways to happen because he has “a little bit of a history ensuring that things that are fit for use, whether it’s food or clothing or in this case a house, are use, instead of wasting it ”.
He describes the second gift house as “well maintained by the owner-occupant throughout the years.”
