Real Estate and rental facts and figures The average house price in Christchurch, as recently reported in The Press, rose to $450,000 last month (an increase in 2.1%) and some say it is spearheaded by the affect of overheated market in Auckland which appears to show no signs of cooling. The only difference between Christchurch and Auckland’s housing markets would be the development of new housing, land and building packages, and subdivision developments in Christchurch. These are well ahead of Auckland, mainly because of the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes, and should result in a levelling out in the market sooner than the Auckland market.

We have seen many privately managed investment home owners engage us to manage their properties, mainly because of issues with tenants or lack of time. Only then does the investor realise the rent they are charging is well below the median rental rate. Often landlord’s also state they don’t increase the rent because:”They have a great tenant and don’t want them to leave”. We as property managers do not want any tenant to leave unnecessarily either but it is fairer in the long term for both parties to keep up with the median rent. Whether buying selling or investing, it is imperative you contact your real estate professional for the best advice, advice that will be well worth it as buying or selling property is one of the most important financial decisions you will make in your lifetime.

DIY

Chalkboard walls Planning on giving your kids’ room a makeover?

The addition of a chalkboard wall can be classy and practical. A chalkboard wall doesn’t have to be something just for the kids’ bedroom, it can even be something which is a handy addition to a home office or kitchen. It can be a place to write a grocery list, display a menu, thoughtful quotes, or simply a place to doodle. But possibly the place it’s most commonly found is in a kid’s bedroom. And, it’s simple to do. A lot of major paint manufacturers make special chalkboard paint these

days.

then apply a second coat.

It’s as easy as prepping the wall and framing off the section of wall you want to paint – whether it’s the whole wall or just a section – and thoroughly clean it of any obstructions.

The paint should then be left for three full days, before the painter’s take is removed.

If your wall is covered in glossy paint, sand it down to help the chalkboard paint adhere more effectively. Stir the chalkboard paint and apply a coat directly to the wall, just like you would with any other wall paint, and let it dry for a few hours

A transition can be created between the chalkboard and the rest of the wall by painting a frame around it, using a contrasting paint colour, and it can be done by following a similar process. Use tape to mark off a frame and use a small paint brush to create the border before letting the paint dry then removing the tape. Before you use your chalkboard

wall for the first time, it’s important to condition it with a layer of chalk dust, which can be done by using the broad side of a big piece of chalk and dragging it along to colour over the whole surface, before erasing it with a chalkboard eraser. Maintenance of a chalkboard wall is easy too. You just wipe it clean, with a damp cloth. After it’s been cleaned, it’s important to condition it again by covering it with chalk and wiping it off.

Legal Advice

What should you expect from a pre-purchase builder’s report? So, you have circled the front page of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase and you are going to get a Building Report. Clause 9.3 of the standard agreement includes that the report must be a report on the condition of the buildings and any other improvements that is “satisfactory to the purchasers” and “on the basis of an objective assessment.” The person completing the report needs to be “a suitably qualified building inspector” and the report needs to be completed in “good faith.” So what should you expect the building inspector to report on, and how should the report be presented? Don’t settle for a one-page letter that refers to the property in an ambiguous way, leaving one to either be too worried to purchase

Good property reports include information such as: • What is considered normal wear and tear for a building of that age; • Any urgent defects that need to be remedied prior to purchase, and which the Vendor should be attending to; and • Identifying any maintenance that may be deferred to another day.

The biggest screen in town

Crossing the Bridge Venue: Baring Square East. Crossing the Bridge is a photography and film exhibition. It explores identity and belonging in Ashburton’s migrant community.

24/7 with movie being shown between 5pm & midnight Open Hat night is a new initiative from ATEC to provide the community the opportunity to experience a live performance in our venue at a price they believe is “value for money”. It also is a fantastic chance to try something different and new. There will be no charge for tickets prior to the event. Instead, guests are encouraged to pay what they think the performance was worth to them, after the concert has finished.
