As the property market in the region is thriving, Latitude Homes Central Otago has been making its mark in the region since the couple took over the franchise in 2020 just six weeks before the first Covid-19 lockdown. It proved good timing as the property market surged afterwards. “People have realized they can live where they want to and work remotely,” says Jeremy. “There are a lot of people relocating here and we seem to be growing constantly.” Cat and Jeremy bring a wealth of experience to the table. With Jeremy’s qualifications as a qualified Quantity Surveyor and a background in project management, and Cat’s expertise as an accountant overseeing the administrative aspects, Latitude Homes Central Otago offers a well-rounded approach to home building. The duo’s combined skills have paved the way for a truly customer-centric experience. “Our ethos is simple – we strive to build trustworthy relationships that stand the test of time. We offer a personal service and maintain a strong bond with clients throughout the entire building process, culminating in satisfied, content homeowners,” explains Jeremy. Jeremy says that Latitude Homes is one of the top 10 group housing companies in the country and is still locally owned by a husband and wife team, Marc and Kelly Hunter. “That’s what we like about Latitude. It’s a great company to be a part of. There is a sense of unity and shared purpose and a personal, rather than a corporate, approach to building.” With a range of house and land packages as well as a full design and build option, customers can choose a build process that suits their needs. The Latitude Homes wide range of house plans caters to various budgets, lifestyles, and preferences. “Our extensive collection includes everything from granny flats to five bedroom house floor plans, ensuring that people find the perfect design for their dream home,” says Jeremy. “Whether people are looking for a contemporary design or a more traditional style, our house floor plans have something for everyone.” Homes are designed with modern living in mind and include quality fixtures and can offer forward-thinking features like Electric Vehicle (EV) pre-wiring and WiFi keypad entry door locks. Keypad operated alarm systems and hard-wired smoke alarms plus a high wall heat pump are also included in each home and double glazing is standard throughout. All homes are backed by a 10-year master builder’s guarantee, instilling confidence in the longevity of people’s investment. Fixed price contracts give further security. Delivering affordability is always at the forefront of a Latitude Homes build. “It’s our nation-wide buying power that allows us to provide such an affordable price,” says Jeremy. Based in Cromwell, Latitude Homes Central Otago covers the entire Central Otago and Southern Lakes area. It has a small, dedicated team plus utilizes the skills of a trusted hand picked team of local contract builders. A new showhome is on the horizon. Located in Hawea at Longview, Cemetery Road the 188sqm home will offer four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage. Its contemporary design incorporates elements such as James Hardie Stria and plaster cladding, a schist chimney, tiled wet areas, and a sophisticated kitchen equipped with home automation features. A Daikin ducted heat pump system ensures comfort while raking ceilings and skylight features amplify the spaciousness of the home. Jeremy says the upmarket family home will showcases the innovation and style delivered by Latitude Homes Central Otago and is set to open for viewing early next year, around the time the franchise should have some more house and land packages available in Longview with the next release of land. To enquire about Longview and other house and land package options Jeremy invites people to get in touch with the team at Latitude Homes Central Otago. “Our purpose is to help people gain security through home ownership by helping people to achieve their dream of building a home,” says Jeremy. “Because at Latitude Homes Central Otago we believe everyone should be able to afford their own home.”
