Kane recently purchased our home in Cashmere. We found him to be completely reliable, flexible and genuine. He evened helped us with advice on properties we looked at purchasing! An all round nice guy who we have no problem recommending to anyone.
After 10 long years EQC and the insurance company decided that we should be paid out. we were left wondering what to do, do we stay and fix it ourselves or sell as is. I heard an advert on the radio for my new start, and thought it was a good idea to look into this. I answered the website and very quickly Kane rang and made arrangements to come and see us. Kane is very knowledgeable on what needs to be done, and never once put pressure on us to sell. We actually put it on hold for a couple of months before we agreed with Kane to sign over to him. with a long settlement date we had plenty of time to look for the ideal home to move to. Once we had found one the process of bringing this forward was very easy and every went through with no problems.
Kane has been so helpful with everything even on moving day. I would thoroughly recommend using My New Start and Kane if you are in the position of wanting to Sell your house as is.
Kane was incredibly helpful and flexible through the entire process – especially with the uncertainty I had around when settlement would occur. Kane is a shining example of a fair, honest and hard-working Kiwi who I would recommend to anyone who needs to sell a house as-is where is. I commend him for contributing to the repair of Canterbury’s housing stock
It was a pleasure to deal with Kane in person, as advertised. He was always positive, flexible, reasonable and straightforward, offering a fair deal and sticking with it, despite the challenges thrown up by a tricky site, and a COVID lockdown.
At last we are in our new house in Rangiora. Still settling in and plenty to do. Won’t have a lawn until September, the day it was going to be sown 26 March, was Level 4 day so didn’t happen.
Thanks very much for your help during the lock down and your understanding when we couldn’t settle on 9th April. Was getting a bit concerned that our world was about to fall apart. Your agreement to put settlement day 5 days after we got out of level 4 regardless of when it was going to be was most helpful and your follow up phone calls of reassurance were much appreciated.
Hope all goes well with the repairs, really pleased that you are going to do a proper job, unlike some of the horror stories I have heard about.
Thanks again and all the best.

After an arduous battle with the EQC and insurance company we rang my new start on hearing an ad on the radio, we were extremely impressed with Kane lawson very professional and knowledgeable, we were also very satisfied with the offer and how smooth and efficient the process was, giving us time to find our new home.
Having an earthquake damaged home hasn’t been easy and when it comes to my home, my trust in people had diminished, however having gone through the “as is where is” selling process with Kane it has restored my faith and trust in people.
The process was effortless, you deal directly with Kane, and in his calm, reassuring manner he answered all questions on the spot, he advised ways forward where I didn’t think there were any. There was no pressure, he gave me plenty of time to mull over the information to make a decision that was right for me.
Kane gave a fair market appraisal, was upfront and honest about what I could expect to receive for the sale and why, I was kept informed every step of the way.
Kane acted with integrity, it was important to him that I felt comfortable about the sale of my home. His concern was genuine, he made every effort to work to my timeframes. When the news of alert levels came, he kept me informed, calling to reassure me he would still be in a position to settle, and when lock down news came he worked hard to ensure we could settle a few days earlier.
I am grateful to Kane as it is truly my new start.

We decided to sell our ” as is ” house.
After contacting Kane via email, he responded the next day. After meeting Kane to look through the house, an offer was made on the spot, which was very fair.
Kane had done his homework prior to the meeting which was impressive, and went through the process of what he would do with the property. Everything was up front.
The process was seamless and we would highly recommend Kane at ” My New Start”
After moving out of our “as is” house we contacted “My new start” and Kane got back to us within the promised 24 hours.
After some questions we made an appointment to meet and Kane, he had a good look through our house.
He made an offer on the spot and it was an offer we were happy with.
The next day we signed the paperwork and 4 weeks later we settled.
Things went quick, simple and all communication was really good.
And the really pleasant thing was that all communication was always with Kane, that was the only person we had contact with and we think that works absolutely brilliant!!
We recommend getting in contact with Kane at My new start if you are wondering what to do with your “as is” house, it worked out great for us!!
Thank you Kane, it was great doing business with you.
We found Kane from My New Start very straight forward to deal with. Our conversations with him were open and honest and he communicated in a timely manner with us. Overall the process of selling our ‘as is where is property’ was easy and we are happy to recommend My New Start to anyone in the same situation.
