Customer Stories
"Super easy to deal with. Very professional. Would definitely work with the team again."
York
"The team at Assured have been great to deal with and have made this whole process of buying a new build and purchasing off the plans seamless. With all of the uncertainty over the last couple of years, they have delivered everything they promised in spades."
George
"Great communication. Great people. Great product."
Simon
"I have found John, Ryan and the team at Assured to be highly professional, thorough and most importantly, they are trustworthy."
Rachael
I need another one. Buying brand new and having a 10-year build guarantee is excellent peace of mind.
Brendon W.
“We didn’t have any complaints. We meet every day, me and my daughter, and if something goes wrong, we usually have a bit of a bitch session – but we’ve never done that with Assured Property.”

About Us
21 years of residential investment property development experience
Assured Property began in 2004, based on one simple belief: investing in property should be easier for everyday New Zealanders.
Founder John Kenel bought his first rental property in Cambridge in 1997. Since then, he has built a large residential property portfolio and helped everyday Kiwis invest in new-build rental properties across the Waikato.
Assured Property focuses on practical, well-located residential investment properties designed with both the investor and tenant in mind.
After 21 years, close to 1,000 rental property investments, and more than 600 buyers, the focus is still the same: build good homes, in good locations, that work for the long term.
