Barry Soper: Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent on the Government allowing foreign investors to buy a home under certain conditions - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The coalition's confident allowing certain wealthy foreign buyers to buy a home won't drive up house prices.

It's agreed to pass changes, allowing people on an Active Investor Plus visa to buy or build one home in New Zealand - worth a minimum of $5 million.

The visa requires an additional investment of at least $5 million, on top of the price of the home.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says these changes make sense for investors.
