You can bring whānau with you to court to support you and your application. If you are a whānau or hapū member who did not submit the application but would like to speak in Court, you can file a ‘ Notice of intention to appear upon application ’.
In such circumstances it may be worth applying to Court to see whether the trustees can grant leases or licences for a term exceeding seven years, with rights of renewal for one or more terms, which may exceed 14 years in total. Until such an application is made there is no guarantee as to how the Court would view the matter and the success of any such application would depend on its own facts.
As part of a mortgage application or loan application, you will be required to provide financial and income information, which the bank will review to determine your ability to repay the loan.
