Units 5, 52 and 57 in the sought-after Thompson Park Apartments are all being offered for sale through Ray White Auckland Central listing agent Steve King.

Mr King said it was unusual to see multiple properties become available in the same building at once.

“Thompson Park Apartments have always been popular, offering large apartments, a great location, excellent facilities, and a real community,” he said.

“I now have a unique opportunity as several vendors wish to move on to the next stage of their lives.

“One person has a flight ticket booked to move back to the UK and another has dropped their asking price by $50,000 after securing an apartment at a retirement village.

“Opportunities to buy at current levels seldom present themselves.”

All three homes are spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments, with residents enjoying access to a swimming pool, landscaped gardens and a barbecue area.

Vendor of unit 57, Mike Johnson, said he had lived in the apartment just prior to COVID and had loved the lifestyle.

“The location is excellent – it’s about 10 minutes to the CBD,” Mr Johnson said.

“They’re well-built, spacious apartments, and I’m used to apartment living.

“You’re close to shops and amenities, and the building has a swimming pool.

"It’s a really lovely building – everyone is very respectful and there’s a good mix of people, both young and old.”

Mr Johnson said his decision to sell was purely lifestyle-driven.

“I’m only selling because I’m moving back to England. Otherwise, I’d absolutely stay.”

Unit 5 owner Terry Lord said he purchased his apartment off the plan and initially rented it out before moving in nine years ago.

“Until recently I’d sworn I’d never leave it, but I’m getting older now and I feel like a retirement village might be a better fit for me in the future,” Mr Lord said.

“Visitors always comment on how quiet it is. It’s very secure, beautifully insulated, I installed a heating system and I’ve barely used it.”

He said there were great local walks at the Panmure Basin, Mt Wellington and Stonefields which were a positive feature

“My favourite memory was the first week I moved in, I couldn’t stop smiling. It really feels like home.”
