Christchurch Woman Gets Helping Hand For Home Improvements

Christchurch woman Tania Pocock received an unexpected Christmas gift, winning a Mike Pero Mortgages radio promotion at the end of last month.

Tania was one of four winners in the Mike Pero Mortgages promotion and was the only winner from the South Island.

Every listener who took out a product with Mike Pero Mortgages during November and December went in the draw to win $2,500 worth of home improvements. These products included a mortgage, personal loan, debt consolidation, KiwiSaver or insurances.

Tania says she is delighted with her good luck and will certainly put the $2,500 Harvey Norman voucher to good use.

“I’ve just moved into my new home in Springfield Road, St Albans. It’s my first home and I’m struggling to furnish it,” she says.

“At the moment I’m sitting on camp chairs, so I was very tempted to hit the Christmas sale at Harvey Norman and buy myself some new furniture. But common sense has prevailed and I’ve decided to put the money towards a heat pump instead. I’ve also used a small portion of the voucher to buy a vacuum cleaner.”

Tania says she had been looking at buying a home for the past year, but had become more serious about it in the past three months.

“I was a first home buyer and in these uncertain times I really needed to talk to someone I could trust. My sister had used Mike Pero Mortgages previously and recommended I give them a call,” she says.

“Broker Chris Downes was excellent to deal with and I ended up taking out House, Contents and Car Insurance with him as well.”

Tania says it was a huge step for her to take the leap and become a homeowner but she has no regrets.

“I love my new home and winning the $2,500 of home improvements has really given me a helping hand to set myself up. But the whole process was made so much easier and stress-free by using Mike Pero Mortgages and Chris Downes,” she says.

“I would definitely recommend Mike Pero Mortgages to anyone looking to buy a house. I was very nervous about taking such a big step, but I trusted my broker, Chris Downes, completely and he didn’t let me down.”
