Keep your

house warm
By Louise Richardson NZME
Europeans have generally always kept their homes warm and dry, cognisant of the need to keep inhabitants healthy, yet here in New Zealand, particularly prior to World War Two, very few homes had any kind of insulation installed and coal fires were a common but inefficient, pollution-producing form of heat; releasing green-house gasses and fine particles into the atmosphere. This is something we’re all very aware of now, but it wasn’t widely considered back then. Of course, being stoic Kiwis, our parents and grandparents simply donned another layer of clothing and got on with things — while around 40 per cent of the heat in their homes escaped through the ceiling. As a result of this, health problems caused by the resultant mould and mildew, which is fuelled by human breath, steam from cooking and bathing in colder temperatures, meets cold air and condenses, causing respiratory illnesses. Eventually, around the 1940s, it became better-known that many of these issues could be alleviated once insulation was installed but, the fact that suitable materials had to be imported — at considerable cost — from overseas, meant that their use was largely confined to the properties of well-off people. By the early 1970s, the process of insulating new dwellings in order to keep heat from escaping during winter was not only more widely understood and accepted but was actively promoted by local and central government. Midway through that decade, an interest-free loan programme was implemented to enable home-owners to insulate, thereby making their homes much healthier. Television advertisements at the time featured a creature called “sneaky heat”, who had a habit of slipping out of the house when nobody was watching, and since there was only one channel at the time, everybody quickly became aware of the pink fibreglass insulation that was being promoted. Eventually, in 1977, insulation became mandatory in new houses and over
the past 40 years, minimum levels have gradually been raised. These days, under the Building Act 2004, all new-builds must have a certain level of thermal resistance (R-value), which is determined by their location. As you might expect, the amount of insulation required in Dunedin or Invercargill is greater than for properties in Auckland or Northland. In 2015, then-Minister of Building and Construction, Nick Smith, announced that by July 1, 2019, all rental properties must be fitted with underfloor and ceiling insulation and that landlords will be ordered to specify what level they have provided. The minimum will be the 1978 standard for already-insulated dwellings, while properties that haven’t had any insulation up until now must meet current standards for new builds. With the valuable role of insulation now widely acknowledged and understood, many New Zealand home owners are retrofitting their older properties with ceiling and underfloor insulation. Unfortunately, it’s very tricky to retro-fit insulation into wall cavities although it is possible if you’re prepared to replace wall linings. Luckily, there are other ways of improving the insulation quality in
an existing property, such as doubleglazing, which will reduce heat loss through windows. It can be retro-fitted reasonably easily — at a price — but it will change the appearance of your windows and they will become heavier, which means hinges might need to be replaced. Thermal films, which are stuck on to the glass have some effect but they’re nowhere near as effective as double-glazing. Heavy thermal-backed curtains are another important form of insulation and can play a significant part in keeping thermal radiation from the day inside and minimising heat loss as long as you remember to pull them closed at dusk in winter. While the value of insulation cannot be overstated, it can be expensive, and EECA Energywise offers support to members of the community who live in homes built before 2008, and have special needs in terms of age or physical health. Insulation options If you’re considering putting insulation into an existing house or a new one, there are many different types available. Fibreglass: Made from recycled glass, this
works well at containing heat and is a reasonably priced option. It’s clean, sustainable and easy to install. You are advised to avoid inhaling any dust while putting it in place and excessive contact with skin is also inadvisable. Wool: This Kiwi product operates in two ways: retaining heat in winter, and keeping things cool in summer. It usually needs added preservatives, such as polyester or resin to achieve optimum effectiveness and its “R” value is lower than that of fibreglass. Polystyrene: A man-made material formulated using a liquid petrochemical, polystyrene provides good insulation but because it comes in blocks, it’s essential to cut it accurately in order to fit into ceiling, wall or underfloor spaces. If the cut isn’t perfect, energy escape can occur and it must have fire retardant added because it’s flammable. Rock wool: Its name is intriguing and the method used to produce it is fascinating. Natural rocks and minerals are heated to 1600C° in a furnace, then spun in a way that imitates the making of candyfloss. The finished product has excellent thermal and acoustic properties. Reflective foil: This is most-suited for underfloor insulation that’s being installed retrospectively. With the risk of electrocution it can be dangerous and must be cut perfectly to size. EECA isn’t a fan of this material because of this. Polyester: Made as a by-product of the petrochemical industry, it’s made from plastic bags and bottles in a process wherein it’s bound by means of very high heat. Effective at keeping a dwelling warm and dry, it resists moisture, fire, mould and vermin. Paper-based insulation: Cellulosic insulation is made from paper and the resultant mix needs to be blown into place. When it’s being manufactured, fire and pest retardants are included in the mix and in terms of sustainability it gets good marks, as long as New Zealand wood and paper materials are used.

Selling
Selling a property can be a stressful exercise, no matter how many times you’ve done it before. Every seller hopes for a swift, easy sale with a hefty price attached, but the reality can be quite different. It’s tough to realise that your home is not worth as much as you might hope. It’s even more brutal to discover that you might need to spend some money in order to get it into a saleable condition. The question is, how much should you spend? And do you have to tell buyers if there are problems? “When you’re selling a property, you and your agent are legally obliged to share all the relevant information about it to potential buyers,” says Real Estate Authority (REA) chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith. “These issues will vary depending on your property, but they could include problems with weather-tightness, unconsented renovations, natural hazard damage or even the impact of proposed developments.” If you know your property has some problems, such as flooding every winter, or an unconsented deck, and you fail to disclose this information, you may be in breach of the terms of your agreement with the buyer. This means the sale could fall over or, in some situations, the buyer could take you to court.

REA
“When the real estate agent is aware of an issue, they are bound by their Code of Conduct to disclose it to buyers,” Lampen-Smith adds. “If you tell them about a problem with your property but ask them to keep it quiet, they are required to stop working for you.” That said, REA research has shown that many sellers have pretty loose attitudes to disclosure; believing that it’s not necessarily a bad thing to withhold information about a property if telling all will jeopardise a potential sale. “Honesty is always the best policy,” Lampen-Smith says. “This can go a long way in terms of building trust with a prospective buyer.” He suggests sellers put themselves in the shoes of a potential buyer. If you were looking to buy, would you prefer a property that had all the correct paperwork in place, and any building issues fixed? Or would you be keen on

making a low-ball offer that reflected the uncertainty of what you were signing up for? Most properties benefit from solid deep-cleaning and de-cluttering before going up for sale, and some can be transformed by a lick of paint. But think carefully before you start splashing out on renovating bathrooms or kitchens, Lampen-Smith says. “If your property needs serious remedial work, it’s a good idea to get a proper quote so both you and any potential buyers have some certainty about what the costs are going to be,” he says. “It’s also a good idea to discuss your options with your real estate agent. They will be able to advise you on what buyers are looking for, and what scares them off. “Your agent should be able to help you weigh up the cost-benefit ratio of getting the work done vs adjusting the sale price. In an ideal world you’d find a buyer who was so willing to buy your property that they wouldn’t be fazed by a bit of remedial work. In reality, a softening market means that you are going to have to adjust your expectations. Either way, it’s best to be up-front.” For independent guidance and information on buying or selling, check out settled.govt.nz.
