Jagdip understands this dynamic and structures applications accordingly. She also helps families navigating the balance between supporting relatives in India while building assets in NZ.

💰 Overseas income and foreign assets

Some Indian buyers in NZ receive income from businesses or properties in India, or have savings held overseas. Jagdip knows which lenders accept foreign income and foreign asset evidence, and how to present these correctly to maximise borrowing capacity.
