Q: Can I invest?

Landify’s farmland investment opportunities are available to both domestic and international investors, provided they meet New Zealand’s wholesale investor criteria. Who qualifies as a wholesale investor? Under New Zealand law, wholesale investors include: ✅ Experienced investors who meet financial sophistication thresholds. ✅ Individuals with at least NZ$5 million in net assets or NZ$1 million in financial investments. ✅ Large investment entities such as family offices, trusts, or institutional investors. Due to New Zealand’s Overseas Investment Act, foreign ownership of farmland is typically restricted. However, Landify’s fractional land ownership model (<25%) aligns with regulations, allowing eligible overseas investors to participate in farmland investment without requiring special consent. Additionally, this investment qualifies under New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus Scheme, offering a pathway to residency for those who meet the broader investment requirements. If you’re unsure whether you qualify as a wholesale investor, we’d be happy to discuss your eligibility.

Q: How will I know my investment is being looked after?

Landify provides transparent, ethical, and hands-on investment management, ensuring your farmland asset is secure, well-managed, and generating returns. Key Assurances for Investors: ✅ Structured Lease Agreements – Your co-owner farmer leases the land under a legally binding agreement. ✅ Financial Monitoring – We monitor the financial health of co-owners, ensuring they meet lease obligations and maintain a stable, productive farming business. ✅ Impact & Performance Reports – You'll receive detailed updates on: Farm sustainability metrics (soil health, water management, management practices). Farm infrastructure and business growth (upgrades, efficiencies, financial performance). How your investment supports rural resilience and the long-term success of your co-owner. ✅ Ongoing Communication & Farm Updates – We keep you connected with regular investor updates, video footage, and insights into the farming season, market trends, and the people behind your investment. ✅ Ethical & Transparent Management – Landify ensures all investments align with our mission of supporting sustainable farm succession, and our governance structure prioritizes responsible asset management. Your investment isn’t just a financial asset—it’s a stake in a farm’s future. We provide the clarity, reporting, and oversight you need to invest with confidence.

Q: What are the fees?

Our fee structure is designed to ensure transparent, fair, and sustainable investment management for all parties involved. Farmers (Co-Owners): ✅ Landify Entry Fee – A one-off fee of NZD $5,000 to make their listing Investors Pay: ✅ Landify Investor Membership Fee - An annual subscription of NZD $1,000 to access our current listings ✅ Arrangement Fee – a one-time fee of 1.5% of the investment value in return for the connection with suitable farmers and the commercial template that forms the basis of the co-ownership structure. ✅ Annual Platform Fee – 0.5% per year of your investment value, covering essentially reporting services. Both Parties: Due Diligence Responsibility and Agreement Negotiation While Landify presents screened Investment Memorandums to prospective investors, both farmers and investors are responsible for conducting their own independent due diligence before proceeding with an investment arrangement, and funding the advisory services required for the agreement negotiation.

Q: What are my options for exit?

At the start of your investment, you can choose between: ✅ Long-Term Co-Ownership – Hold your stake indefinitely alongside your co-owner farmer, benefiting from ongoing lease income and land appreciation. ✅ Structured 10-Year Buyback Option – A pre-agreed exit pathway, where the co-owner farmer has the right to buy back your stake over time or at the end of the 10-year term, ensuring a structured succession plan. Early Exit Option If you need to exit before your selected term, you can: 1️⃣ Sell Your Stake to Another Wholesale Investor – You may transfer your ownership to a qualifying investor, subject to Landify’s approval. 2️⃣ Trigger an Early Buyback by the Farmer – If your co-owner farmer agrees to buy your stake earlier than planned, they can do so under mutually agreed terms. 3️⃣ Exit with an Early Withdrawal Penalty – If neither of the above options is possible, you can trigger a full exit, but a 5% early exit fee applies if exiting within the first five years. This fee aligns with industry standards and accounts for liquidity management and market stability. After the first five years, this penalty reduces to 2%. While farmland investment is designed for long-term stability, we provide structured exit pathways to ensure flexibility while maintaining the integrity of co-ownership agreements.

Q: What tax will I need to pay?

As an investor, your tax obligations will depend on your residency, investment structure, and individual circumstances. However, here are some key considerations: ✅ Lease Income Taxation – The annual lease income you receive is taxable in New Zealand. If you are a non-resident investor, tax may be withheld at the applicable non-resident withholding tax (NRWT) rate or under double taxation agreements (DTAs) with your country of residence. ✅ Capital Gains Tax (CGT) – New Zealand does not have a general capital gains tax, so gains from farmland appreciation are not typically taxed upon exit. However, tax treatment may vary based on investment intent and holding structure—we recommend seeking independent tax advice. ✅ Foreign Investor Tax Considerations – International investors should consult with a tax professional to understand any tax obligations in their home country, particularly if they qualify for tax relief under New Zealand's double tax agreements (DTAs). ✅ Limited Partnership Tax Structure – Investments are structured through a Limited Partnership (LP), meaning tax obligations flow through to investors rather than being taxed at the entity level. Since individual circumstances vary, we strongly recommend consulting with a tax advisor to understand your specific tax obligations and potential benefits.
