Beautiful home on seven hectares 12 Burgess Road, Staveley Live the lifestyle you’ve imagined for your family under big skies, with the foothills of mid-Canterbury as your backdrop and views to green pastures in all directions. A truly unique property, this home offers spacious living spaces indoors and out, as well as excellently appointed outbuildings, including a rustic red barn suitable for events, hay sheds and a horse tack shed. There’s also a horse arena, small stockyards and 15 acres of paddocks. Recently used for grazing horses and cattle, the paddocks have also produced over 700 bales of hay per annum. Currently known as Topp Lodge it has hosted a number of special events from a Don McGlashan concert, to
weddings, horsemanship clinics and more. But perhaps it’s the peace and quiet of rural living that will draw you to this generously proportioned family home and the comforts it promises. From the colonial windows to exposed rafters, the rustic barnstyle kitchen with a classic cast iron stove, to the large open plan living area with substantial fireplace, six bedrooms and five bathrooms, this home could be in your family for generations to come. Picture yourself spending long afternoons on the wraparound bullnose verandas; enjoy the established gardens and babbling creek running through, with spaces for the reader seeking solitude, the horse lover, children and guests.

Disclosure for sellers
By NZME
It’s no secret that selling real estate is all about the right kind of marketing, and real estate advertising is designed to show a property in the best light. An advert might focus on the sundrenched location while neglecting to mention the busy road, for example, or highlight the spectacular views rather than the difficult access from the street. Glossing over a property’s quirks if they are likely to be easily spotted at an open home (or by reading the marketing material closely) is one thing, but lying by omission or design about more serious matters is risky. “When thinking about selling, it’s a good idea to get legal advice about your obligations before you sign an agency agreement,” says Real Estate Authority chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith. Most agency agreements, which set out the terms and conditions of your contract with the real estate agent, require you to confirm that you do not know of any problems with the property and that you haven’t withheld any information about it. As a seller, you should also confirm
Today’s construction is tomorrow’s legacy If a home of excellent design and exceptional quality of workmanship is important to you, then look no further than Des Millar Construction. The quality home builders.
that your property has all the consents and code compliance certificates for any building work and if you have given consent to any works at a neighbour’s property because this is likely to impact on the view or enjoyment of your property. “This is important for several reasons. “Real estate agents have clear obligations when it comes to disclosure. They must not mislead a seller or a potential buyer or withhold any information. While it’s not up to the agent to uncover hidden issues with a property, they must tell any prospective buyers what they know,” says Lampen-Smith. Under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008, if licensed real estate agents suspect that a property may have a defect then they are obliged to ask the seller about it and, if confirmed, advise potential buyers of any risks. For example, if a property is next door to a proposed new development, or if it’s in an area that’s been subject to flooding, the agent must tell prospective buyers rather than turning a blind eye. If your property is prone to weathertightness issues – thanks to its age or cladding – then the agent will need to disclose this to prospective buyers.
If you choose to get additional checks on your property, it’s wise that the report is done by a qualified building inspector who has professional indemnity insurance, understands the strict legal requirements of their role and carries out their work in line with the New Zealand Standard for Residential Property Inspection (NZ S 4306:2005). “If you know there are issues with your property, whether it’s something small like a garage door not working properly, or a bigger deal like an unconsented deck, it’s best to discuss them with the agent you are working with. They can help you understand the importance of being open and honest and will guide you through what could happen if you don’t disclose. They can also help you decide how to tackle a problem – whether that means fixing it or sharing the information with potential buyers. Your agent isn’t able to tell buyers about problems with your property without your agreement. If you can’t agree, they may decide not to take your listing,” Lampen-Smith says. “If you knowingly mislead a buyer, you may be in breach of the terms of your sale and purchase agreement and they may have the right to cancel the

sale or re-negotiate a reduced buying price. They can even take you to court and claim damages. “These rules for disclosure offer more protection to buyers than the traditional approach of caveat emptor (let the buyer beware), which assumed that the seller would always know more than the buyer and any sale was at the buyer’s risk. However, buyers should always do their own research about a property before signing a sale and purchase agreement. Buyers should also ask the agent about anything they are concerned about – no matter how trivial it may seem. It’s far better to be aware of an issue as early as possible than finding out when it’s too late,” Lampen-Smith says. Buying a house is not only a matter of weighing up the numbers and doing your homework, it’s just as much about the feeling you get. When thinking about what you have to tell buyers about your property, it’s a good idea to flip things around and ask yourself what you would want to know if you were in their shoes and had fallen in love with a property.

Jonty Downes might not own his own home yet, but he is already working towards selling his first house. The 18-year-old is Christchurch’s youngest real estate agent, and he has 10 buyers wanting him to find them their new home. He is also the second youngest licensed real estate agent in New Zealand. The youngest a person can be registered for a real estate licence is 18. He has been interested in real estate since he was a small boy. As a 7-year-old, Jonty would cycle around his neighbourhood, see “for sale” signs and be interested in new houses built in the area. By the time he was in Year 12 at Hag-
ley College he was attending auctions and putting his foot in the door of the real estate industry. “I’ve always had a real passion for houses,” he said. But he found people could not understand his passion or take him seriously for wanting to leap into real estate straight out of high school. Traditionally, real estate is a second or third career for people, entering the industry as a career change from their previous job. Real Estate Authority Statistics show 2071 people aged 53 to 57 were issued with their licences in the first half of 2019 in New Zealand, compared with 171 people aged 18 to 22. Avonhead Harcourts branch manager Lisa Yardley-Vaiese decided to give Jonty a chance, offering him a place on the Grenadier graduate programme.
She said it was more difficult for young people in terms of credibility because, usually, younger people had not yet bought a house. Older people tended to create the perception that they knew the industry better and buyers were more likely to have confidence in them. Real Estate Authority head of regulatory services Josh Doherty said the number of people aged 18 to 21 issued with a salesperson’s licence in New Zealand had remained relatively stable over the past five years. More young people have joined Grenadier’s graduate programme in recent years, though Yardley-Vaiese said she had never mentored someone as young as Jonty. In spite of his age, Jonty has proved his worth and knowledge with colleagues and buyers.
*At the time of printing “I’ve nicknamed him Wikipedia because he just knows so much,” Yardley-Vaiese said. To enter real estate, agents must complete 13 papers before registering for a licence. Jonty remembers the moment he got his licence and said it was his best achievement so far. “I was quite excited to just call buyers and do anything real estate-related, because I think it had been inside of me for ages and I just wanted to let it out.” He does not yet own a home, but said it was on the cards. He is not looking for anything fancy – a one-bedroom flat would be perfect.
