About Us

At Staircase we’re here for one reason: to help New Zealanders to step up the financial independence they’ve always dreamed of.

We do that by helping homeowners use the equity in their own homes to invest in new-build rental properties, with a potential to make capital gains and generate rental income.

Our team has been helping Kiwi families build wealth through long-term property investment since 2001… we know a thing or two about it!

As a client of Staircase you can expect to receive professional, factual information and well-founded advice from qualified and experienced professionals.

For information about your rights and our obligations to you under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013,  please visit the disclosure section of our website or contact us.

How it works – the Staircase secret

When you invest with Staircase, you’ll use the equity in your own home to invest in one or more new-build rental properties. Usually this will mean no cash is needed from you up-front.

Your property’s rental income is used to offset outgoings such as mortgage interest, rates and property management.

If you decide to sell your rental property (e.g. when you retire) you’ll benefit from the capital growth in your property.

If you choose to hold long-term rather than sell, your investment can deliver cashflow as well as capital gains.
