The separate bathroom, laundry and toilet are also of a good size, a heat pump for heating and large windows for natural heat and light. A large deck to capture the end of the day sun, this is the sort of property and especially its location that will pay off.

INDUSTRY COMMENT

PHOTO: RICHARD MUNCKTON/IMGUR.COM

More servants than Downton Abbey We have quickly learned the benefits of employing people to do the things that we do not have time to do or may be better at doing these things than we are.

New Zealand has never been a class system society, it is after all DIY, but hiring others to do chores, gardening, shopping, looking after your kids and buying clothes is increasingly becoming the norm. The average person today has more servants available to do things they could do themselves than at Downton Abbey, according to the International Business Times which surveyed the global growth of the on-demand economy. Nowadays with technology you can connect with people to do the fetching and carrying almost instantaneously and at a low price. Countdown will do the shopping, My Food Bag will sort your meals, Catering companies will sort the dinner party, cleaning Companies will sort the housework, nannies will sort the kids, dog walkers will sort the dogs.

The game works fundamentally like the real world when you think about it, although you don’t want to go to jail too offer! The game shows that as you build up savings, you then buy property, and when buying property, you can mortgage your property to buy more if you don’t have enough cash. This is exactly like life. Although I have many memories of having to mortgage John Moore properties in the game to pay the high prices of my brothers and sister who owned Mayfair and Park Lane.

Many people put themselves in the cash position to make offers on buying houses by going to a Mortgage Broker and getting pre-approved finance before they go and buy a new home. Or at least make sure they can get finance to buy or build a new home. Recently the Reserve Bank changed a lot of the rules around how much banks can lend on certain properties. You may have been to the bank and been told that they won’t lend to you now - when last month there wasn’t a problem.

The non-bank lenders aren’t governed by the same rules as the banks and can lend higher ratios, especially on rental properties and on some builds or subdivisions. Getting a mortgage has changed over the years and getting the right mortgage and lender is essential as you want to be able to access the money when required. It’s really not unlike the game of Monopoly that we grew up playing or are still playing. The mortgage broker gets you the funding required from the right financial institution that fits your personal requirements, whether you own Mayfair, Pall Mall or Old Kent Road.

SAFETY AT HOME

Gas heaters can be harmful BY PAUL TRANTER Fire Fighter & Community Safety During a particularly cold snap this winter the oil heater I have in my office simply wasn’t man enough to keep the damp and cold at bay.
