Easy, stress free, enjoyable and exciting are just a few of the words I would use to explain our experience with Latitude Homes Central Otago. Not only are the team at latitude professional, they are such a down to earth good bunch of people. From the day we went in for our first consult till the day they gave us the keys it felt like they truly cared about what we wanted and nothing was ever too much of an ask. We went in with a price and a home in mind. They did all they could to make it exactly what we wanted and to the price we could afford was no trouble at all. Not only did they absolutely nail what we were after they did it in a very short amount of time. I think it's fair to say, we would use Latitude Homes 100 x over. We got to build our amazing new family home and enjoyed every minute of the process. Thank you so much.
