Who loves property the most?

Nearly two thirds of Parliament’s 120 MPs qualify as multiple property owners. That’s a total of 77 – including those with shares in blocks of Maori land – who own, or have interests in, two or more properties.

Of those MPs with two or more properties, the majority (43) are from the National Party. Former National Party MP Jami Lee Ross, who is now an independent, is also a multiple property owner.

The Labour Party has 32 MPs who qualify as multiple property owners, while NZ First has five MPs who are and the Greens have just one multiple property owner (Eugenie Sage) among their ranks.

But the MPs with the biggest property portfolios are all – bar one – National Party MPs.
