30 Benchmark Drive, Massey

The highly motivated vendors know the balance is tipped in the favour of the buyers and are prepared to consider all offers.

Grab the tools, your paintbrushes and your creativity and propel this down-on-its-luck family home into an exciting future! With you at the helm - whether you're a first-timer, a DIY star or want to break into the investors' market - you can smarten it up and be showered with the rewards.

There's no point beating about the bush, this home needs to be stripped down and revamped throughout. But with such a fantastic layout to get you going, all it needs is your inspired vision to modernise and refresh this four-bedroom, freehold home.

Solidly built and sitting in a tight-knit enclave of seven homes, the community is strong here. The tenants have lived here happily for 12 years and would love the chance to stay on, giving you the chance to hit the ground running with a rental income that will help towards the mortgage and the renovation costs.

Spread across two levels, the freehold home has been perfectly designed for families. It's got the classic open-plan design that breezes out to a north-facing deck and perfectly-formed garden. There are three bedrooms upstairs, and a family bathroom, and a large double downstairs with another shared bathroom, creating a functional, family-friendly design.

The location will be a big draw too. Just moments to the motorway, walking distance to Royal Heights mall and a short drive to Westgate. While parks are nearby and it's so easy to head out west and adventure in the Waitakeres or hit the surf at Bethells or Piha beaches.

Are you ready to gain big?
