We use cookies to help improve your experience of https://hobsonvillepoint.universal.co.nz. This cookie policy is part of Universal Homes' privacy policy, and covers the use of cookies between your device and our site. We also provide basic information on third-party services we may use, who may also use cookies as part of their service, though they are not covered by our policy.
If you don’t wish to accept cookies from us, you should instruct your browser to refuse cookies from https://hobsonvillepoint.universal.co.nz, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired content and services.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit, typically containing information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.
Cookies are used to enable certain features (eg. logging in), to track site usage (eg. analytics), to store your user settings (eg. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (eg. advertising, language).
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as “first-party cookies”, and typically only track your activity on that particular site. Cookies set by other sites and companies (ie. third parties) are called “third-party cookies”, and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.
Types of cookies and how we use them
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are crucial to your experience of a website, enabling core features like user logins, account management, shopping carts and payment processing. We use essential cookies to enable certain functions on our website.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies are used in the tracking of how you use a website during your visit, without collecting personal information about you. Typically, this information is anonymous and aggregated with information tracked across all site users, to help companies understand visitor usage patterns, identify and diagnose problems or errors their users may encounter, and make better strategic decisions in improving their audience’s overall website experience. These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. We use performance cookies on our site.

Targeting/advertising cookies
Targeting/advertising cookies are used in determining what promotional content is more relevant and appropriate to you and your interests. Websites may use them to deliver targeted advertising or to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. This helps companies improve the effectiveness of their campaigns and the quality of content presented to you. These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. Targeting/advertising cookies set by third-parties may be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. We use targeting/advertising cookies on our site.
Third-party cookies on our site
We may employ third-party companies and individuals on our websites—for example, analytics providers and content partners. We grant these third parties access to selected information to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They may also set third-party cookies in order to deliver the services they are providing. Third-party cookies can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. As we have no control over third-party cookies, they are not covered by Universal Homes' cookie policy.
Our third-party privacy promise
We review the privacy policies of all our third-party providers before enlisting their services to ensure their practices align with ours. We will never knowingly include third-party services that compromise or violate the privacy of our users.
How you can control or opt out of cookies
If you do not wish to accept cookies from us, you can instruct your browser to refuse cookies from our website. Most browsers are configured to accept cookies by default, but you can update these settings to either refuse cookies altogether, or to notify you when a website is trying to set or update a cookie.
If you browse websites from multiple devices, you may need to update your settings on each individual device.
Although some cookies can be blocked with little impact on your experience of a website, blocking all cookies may mean you are unable to access certain features and content across the sites you visit.

We recommend checking the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider to learn what information they make available to us.
Personal information
We may ask for personal information, such as your:
Name
Email
Social media profiles
Phone/mobile number
2. Legal bases for processing
We will process your personal information lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. We collect and process information about you only where we have legal bases for doing so.
These legal bases depend on the services you use and how you use them, meaning we collect and use your information only where:
it’s necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract (for example, when we provide a service you request from us);
it satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote our services, and to protect our legal rights and interests;
you give us consent to do so for a specific purpose (for example, you might consent to us sending you our newsletter); or
we need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.
Where you consent to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time (but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place).
We don’t keep personal information for longer than is necessary. While we retain this information, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. That said, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and cannot guarantee absolute data security. If necessary, we may retain your personal information for our compliance with a legal obligation or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.
3. Collection and use of information
We may collect, hold, use and disclose information for the following purposes and personal information will not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with these purposes:
to enable you to customise or personalise your experience of our website; to enable you to access and use our website, associated applications and associated social media platforms;
to contact and communicate with you; for internal record keeping and administrative purposes;
for analytics, market research and business development, including to operate and improve our website, associated applications and associated social media platforms;
to run competitions and/or offer additional benefits to you;
for advertising and marketing, including to send you promotional information about our products and services and information about third parties that we consider may be of interest to you; to comply with our legal obligations and resolve any disputes that we may have; and to consider your employment application.
4. Disclosure of personal information to third parties
We may disclose personal information to:
third party service providers for the purpose of enabling them to provide their services, including (without limitation) IT service providers, data storage, web-hosting and server providers, debt collectors, maintenance or problem-solving providers, marketing or advertising providers, professional advisors and payment systems operators;
our employees, contractors and/or related entities; sponsors or promoters of any competition we run;
credit reporting agencies, courts, tribunals and regulatory authorities, in the event you fail to pay for goods or services we have provided to you;
courts, tribunals, regulatory authorities and law enforcement officers, as required by law, in connection with any actual or prospective legal proceedings, or in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights;
third parties, including agents or sub-contractors, who assist us in providing information, products, services or direct marketing to you; and third parties to collect and process data.
5. International transfers of personal information
The personal information we collect is stored and processed in New Zealand, or where we or our partners, affiliates and third-party providers maintain facilities. By providing us with your personal information, you consent to the disclosure to these overseas third parties.
We will ensure that any transfer of personal information from countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries outside the EEA will be protected by appropriate safeguards, for example by using standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission, or the use of binding corporate rules or other legally accepted means.
Where we transfer personal information from a non-EEA country to another country, you acknowledge that third parties in other jurisdictions may not be subject to similar data protection laws to the ones in our jurisdiction. There are risks if any such third party engages in any act or practice that would contravene the data privacy laws in our jurisdiction and this might mean that you will not be able to seek redress under our jurisdiction’s privacy laws.
6. Your rights and controlling your personal information
Choice and consent: By providing personal information to us, you consent to us collecting, holding, using and disclosing your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy.

The Axis Series Home Buyer form and the below terms and conditions are to be read alongside each other and are together the “Axis Series Terms and Conditions”. While most of the criteria is defined in the Axis Series Home Buyer form and should be straight forward, some points are more complex and require the further explanation that we set out below. We set out below that further detail, some additional provisions and explain the process and matters you are agreeing to when you apply to become an Axis Series Home Buyer. We recommend you read the Axis Series Terms and Conditions in full.
请仔细阅读Axis经济适用房(简称:Axis经适房)所有相关文件:《申请资格(Purchasing Criteria)》、《申请表(Application form)》,以及《条款与条件(Terms and Conditions)》。申请表已涵盖并说明了大部分的申请条件,以下将进一步解释其中较为复杂的内容。如果您计划申请Axis经适房,须满足特定的条件、流程和注意事项,下列内容将作出阐释。强烈建议完整阅读英文版《条款与条件》。
In both these terms and conditions and the Axis Series Home Buyer form “you” means the applicant/s and “we” or “us” means HLC (2018) Limited (“HLC”) and Housing New Zealand Corporation (“HNZC”). Where there is more than one applicant, your obligations and liability is joint and several.
1. No Current or Previous Interest in Property 1.1As set out in the Axis Series Home Buyer form, to qualify, you must be a first time home buyer with no current or previous interest in property in New Zealand or overseas. If you are successful at the ballot, you will need to obtain and provide to us a letter from your New Zealand based solicitor wherein they “undertake” they have searched Land Information New Zealand and the search results confirm your statement that you have not previously owned property in New Zealand or overseas.
1.2You must also not have any unregistered interest in land that you could expect to sell or permanently and exclusively live in. Your solicitor must also “undertake” to us that they have no knowledge of any unregistered interest in property that you could reasonably be expected to live in or sell. For example, an interest in property by virtue of marriage or a de-facto relationship.
1.3You do not need to submit your solicitor’s letter with your application, but you will need to obtain this immediately if you are successful at the ballot. You will not be able to sign an Agreement for Sale and Purchase for an Axis Series Home without first producing this letter. If you have any concerns, we recommend taking the advice of your solicitor.
How Membership of a Trust Affects Eligibility
1.4By way of explanation only, a typical trust situation involving the ownership of land has:
- trustees (one or more people who have legal ownership of the land)
- beneficiaries (the people who can receive benefits from the trust)
- usually, but not always, some of all of the family lives in a dwelling on the land that is held on trust.
We may still consider you to be a qualifying Axis Series Home Buyer if you have a legal or beneficial interest in property by virtue of a trust. All such interests must be disclosed in writing to us with the application and we retain full discretion as to whether or not we consider you to be an Axis Series Home Buyer, however, interest in trusts may be disregarded by us in the following scenarios:
Where you are:
- a discretionary beneficiary (a beneficiary who is entitled to be considered for an entitlement under the trust but whose entitlement is not automatic);
- a contingent beneficiary (a beneficiary whose entitlement to a benefit under the trust depends on an event (such as reaching a certain age)); or
- a vested beneficiary (a beneficiary who has already received their entitlement) of a trust
and you do not reasonably expect to be able to occupy the land you have an interest in to the exclusion of the person/s who currently occupies the land (the occupier) as your principal place of residence until the death of the occupier or the death of the occupier’s survivor.
Where you are a bare trustee (a bare trustee holds assets and acts as directed by the beneficiaries) holding an interest in land.
Inherited and gifted Land
1.6How you came about your interest in land whether through purchase, gift or inheritance is irrelevant.
Value and size of land holdings
1.7The size and value of the interest in land is also irrelevant.
2. No Nominee 2.1If you are approved as an Axis Series Home Buyer, that approval is personal to you. That means you cannot nominate someone else or a trust or company to complete the purchase of the Axis Series Home. The applicant/s must be the registered proprietors of the Axis Series Home.
3. Evidence of Ability to Finance the Purchase 3.1The Axis Series Home Buyer form requires you to submit details of how you will fund the purchase of your Axis Series Home if you are successful at the ballot. We reserve our discretion to reject your application if you do not provide sufficient evidence your ability to finance the purchase of an Axis Series Home.
4. Evidence That a Household Meets the Income Cap 4.1Applicants are required to provide documented evidence of household income as set out in the Axis Home Home Buyer form. The income cap test for salary and wage earners is based on the applicant’s gross taxable income.
4.2Salary and wage earners are required to provide a certificate of all earnings for the past 12 months, which include (but are not limited to):
- ordinary salary or wages or primary Work and Income benefits
- overtime
- shift allowances
- second job and casual employment
- permanent and part-time employment
- ACC payments and private insurance payments, such as income protection.
Self-employed people are required to provide:
- Their most recent financial statements, supported by business and personal tax returns
- Up-to-date interim accounts if the end of your last financial year is more than six months ago.
Excluded from the income cap test are irregular and secondary sources of income including:
- secondary benefits, such as Accommodation Supplements
- tax credits, such as Working for Families
- investment income, such as KiwiSaver investments
- non-taxable income, such as allowances and scholarships
Even if no income has been earned by you or one of the others that you plan to buy a property with, we require confirmation/evidence of this.
4.6Please note that submitting documents that cover the IRD tax year are not sufficient, as it may not cover the period you are applying for.
5. Previous Home Owners – Additional Eligibility Requirements 5.1As set out in the Axis Series Home Buyers form, if you have previously owned property you may still be eligible if we determine at our discretion:
- That you are in the same position as a first home buyer in terms of assets, income and liabilities; and
- You meet all other eligibility criteria.
Realisable Assets
5.2To be considered, previous home owners must not have realisable assets of more than $120,000. Realisable assets are assets you possess that we consider you might be able to sell to buy a house.
5.3Applicants are required to declare their assets during the application process. We have determined that the assets set out in the Axis Series Home Buyer form are realisable, but we reserve the right to ask further questions and request further evidence about your assets and may consider other assets to be realisable and take them into account when assessing your eligibility.
6. Primary Place of Residence for Minimum of 2 Years 6.1The Axis Series Home must be your principal place of residence for two years from your settlement date.
6.2Flatmates are permitted as long as you remain living full time in the Axis Series Home.
6.3We will actively monitor compliance with the occupancy requirement.
7. Agreement with HLC 7.1Prior to and as a condition of entering into an Agreement for Sale and Purchase of an Axis Series Home, you must sign and deliver to HLC the Agreement with HLC set out below. A copy of that agreement is in Appendix A.
8. Exemption from the two year minimum occupancy period 8.1As set out in the Agreement with HLC, we may, at our discretion, consider an exemption from the two year minimum occupancy period in some circumstances examples of which might be:
- Where you are unable to meet minimum living expenses, and refinancing the mortgage to reduce repayments, or selling the property and buying again are not reasonable alternatives
- Where you are not able to carry out your usual occupation because of your temporary or permanent illness, injury or disability
- Where the property is no longer suitable for you or your dependents because of a permanent illness, injury or disability
- Where you suffer long term loss of employment
- Where your job is relocated and you need to move
- Other out of the ordinary circumstances which are beyond your control, to be determined by us on a case-by-case basis.
Satisfactory documentary evidence would be required by us to substantiate your circumstances before we consider any exemption.
9. Fraud 9.1If we suspect false or fraudulent information has been provided by you, we can in our discretion determine that your approval becomes null and void. We may also report such false or fraudulent behaviour to the NZ Police and other government agencies.
10. Discretions 10.1We will do all things reasonably possible to ensure that all applications are carefully and objectively considered and reviewed. However, for the avoidance of doubt, we retain full discretion to determine whether or not you qualify and are not obligated to provide you with any explanation as to our decision.
10.2Our decisions on eligibility are final and we are not required to enter into any correspondence or discussions with you.
10.3We reserve our discretion to amend, change, delete the Axis Series qualifying criteria, forms and these terms and conditions without notice as we see fit from time to time.
11. General 11.1While we will use reasonable endeavours to process your application in a timely way, we take no responsibly for lost or late applications.

The Purchaser acknowledges that:
1HLC has contracted for value, the delivery of Axis Series affordable homes with its Builder Partners (which includes the Builder) for the benefit of qualifying purchasers.
2HLC and the Builder are relying on the correctness of the Purchaser’s representations and statements, and the acceptance by the Purchaser of the obligation to reside in the property for 2 years following settlement of the Home.
In the event that those representations and statements are found to be incorrect, the Builder, and/or HLC shall be entitled to claim all damages and costs incurred as a result (whether directly or indirectly) from the Purchaser (jointly and severally).
On the basis of those representations and statements, the Purchaser further acknowledges:
3The Builder has allowed the Purchaser to participate in their ballot for the sale of the Home (“Ballot Offer”); and
4If the Purchaser’s Ballot Offer is drawn from the ballot by the Builder, the Builder agrees to enter into an Agreement for Sale and Purchase with the Purchaser for the Home (“the Agreement”) on terms satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Builder in their absolute discretion.
Purchaser’s Convenants
To protect its investment in and integrity of the Axis Series Programme and to ensure purchasers comply with the qualifying criteria and the relevant terms of the Agreement, the Purchaser authorises HLC to lodge and maintain a caveat and/or encumbrance against the title to the Home to ensure the contents of the Statutory Declaration/s are correct and to secure the performance by the Purchaser of the requirement to reside in the Home for 2 years following settlement of the Home (Qualifying Criteria).
The Purchaser covenants and agrees that the Qualifying Criteria is true and correct and that such covenant confers an equitable interest in the Home in favour of HLC and as such, HLC has a caveatable interest in the Home.
