Industry comment
Why test for meth? The manufacture of meth produces incredible amounts of by-products that are considered extremely dangerous. Meth is the best and most cost effective drug to test for in these circumstances that points towards p lab activity, and therefore the existence of the by-products.
Mark Williams
For every 1 kilogram of methamphetamine created, 5kgs of toxic waste are created. Meth contamination is linked through scientific studies to a massive range of negative health effects as well as being extremely costly to clean up.
I have got a positive meth test, now what? The levels of methamphetamine and the precursor drugs will indicate whether you have a small or big problem. An appropriately qualified and experienced testing company will provide you with a risk assessment of the property, and explain exactly what that means.
What are the health concerns associated with meth effected properties? The New Zealand Ministry of Health Guidelines for the Remediation of Clandestine Methamphetamine Laboratory Sites, which is currently the only government released document for dealing with meth clan labs states that potential effects may include: Short-term effects: •
Shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains
•
Dizziness, headaches and nausea
Long-term effects: •
Liver and kidney damage
Is my property high risk?
•
Neurological problems
The risk of the property depends on a lot of different factors however a few of the main reoccurring properties we see come back positive for meth include:
•
Increased risk of cancer
•
Rental properties
•
Rural properties
However, because of the nature of meth clandestine laboratories, manufacture could occur in virtually any property from million dollar mansions, baches and holiday homes.
•
Can meth contamination be cleaned?
Why test Before you buy? •
Methamphetamine is a widespread problem in New Zealand, and rates of manufacture and use are very high compared to other countries.
•
Any house can be contaminated with hazardous amounts of chemicals detrimental to the occupants’ health.
•
Clean-up of the property after meth related activity can be
Yes. •
There are many cleaning companies that are suitably trained to handle contaminated dwellings, applying advanced cleaning techniques and facilitating rip out and disposal of contaminated waste.
To advertise in this directory, please phone Emma on 03 307 7936
MethSafe can provide a list of suitably qualified and competent meth clean up companies’ separate from ourselves on request.

extremely costly and range from $3000 to $25,000. •
Unknown meth contamination history can affect the ability to receive insurance on the property.
•
Always have your testing done independent of the real estate company selling the home, then there is no conflict of interest.
•
If you want a “P” test make sure you put it in your contract as halfway through the sale process it can totally mess up possession dates, and the meeting of other clauses in the contract.

What does a dollar cost us when we borrow it?
2 years
Interest rates and compound interest is an amazing thing. Interest costs every borrower more than what they really think. We don’t think of this when we buy a home or what the total cost of the money we borrow at that time, as we tend to get caught up in the emotions of buying a new or first home. It pays to talk to a mortgage broker when you’re purchasing a new property or thinking of refinancing or consolidating debt. This is because your broker can give you independent advice around mortgages and your borrowings and tell you the true cost of those borrowings and which lender is the appropriate one for you. Have you ever thought what a dollar borrowed today will cost you in 25 years? In this example, $1 borrowed over 25 years at a floating interest rate of 5.45%pa, the floating interest rate I can get for clients today. Over the 25 years this dollar will cost the borrower 83 cents in interest, you will pay the bank $1.83 for every dollar that you borrow. Now multiply that dollar by 250,000 an average borrowing in Ashburton and you’ll pay the bank back $457,500, with $207,500 of this being interest.

*At the time of printing
If interest rates were higher, and looking at standard residential lenders on www.interest.co.nz website, the variance is 0.65% amongst the bank and non-bank lenders. If you were paying 6.10% per annum you would pay $1.95 back for that dollar or in the example above, you’d pay the bank $487,500 - another $30,000 over a 25 year term. This is a simple example that shows you the current variances of floating interest rates and the cost over the life of a mortgage. The effect of compound interest over a 25 year term. If you’re paying too high an interest rate on your loan, it is really costing you. This example
is just the variance in floating rates and not even looking at fixed interest rates and terms. I’ve heard it said before, “my bank’s interest rate is a bit higher than others but the service is good”. Yes; we all want good service but shouldn’t that be a given and you shouldn’t have to pay thousands to get that service. Even if you are paying 0.10% per annum over a 25 year term on a $250,000 loan you’d pay an extra $4,479 - now that’s a lot of money to pay away. The service would have to be pretty good, although in the above example you’re actually paying $30,000 over the 25 years “that could be a new car”.
The cost of a dollar is very important and this is why independent advice is important when looking to borrow money, especially when it is a big ticket item, which your home is. I recommend that before buying, refinancing or consolidating your debt you should get that advice and know exactly what every dollar is costing you. Making every dollar work for you.

Home care
Now is the ideal time to sow lawn A lush, green healthy lawn is a great addition to your home, often the largest part of a garden and is an important focal point for a property. If you are thinking about selling your home during the warmer months, now is the ideal time to sow a new lawn or just tidy up your old one so that it will look in tip-top shape. Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are ideal sowing seasons as the weather is warmer (but not too hot) and the soil will be moist, providing good growing conditions for the seed. Sprucing up your lawn is not difficult, however, as with most DIY projects, preparation is the key to success. Before you start work on your new lawn you will need to decide what type of lawn seed to use, or if you are simply repairing, make sure you match the grass you already have. You will need to base your grass seed decision on what the lawn will be used for, the climate and what
By Shane Woods Insideout Property Services type of soil you have. There are two styles of lawn grasses – bunching grass and creeping grass. Bunching grass spreads by producing new shoots from the base of the plant, thereby spreading slowly outwards from the original seed site. Creeping grasses spread by sending out stems that creep along the ground. New plants then sprout at intervals along these stems. The toughness of these grasses makes
them useful for high traffic areas.
ensure good contact between seed and soil.
Each of these styles offers a very different look and feel. The first step is to prepare the ground.
Flatten the area by filling in any dips with topsoil and flatten. Till the soil until it is a fine crumbly texture to a depth of about 15cm. If your soil is of poor quality you may need to purchase and spread topsoil to provide a sufficient growing base for your grass. Fertilise the soil with an appropriate lawn fertiliser. Divide your lawn seed in half. Walk lengthways over the area, sowing your seed by hand or with a handheld applicator. Take the second half of your lawn seed and sow it while walking crossways over the area. This crossing-over technique ensures good, even coverage.

Spring and autumn are ideal sowing seasons.
Helping grow the country
Water well, using a fine spray that will not displace the seed. Your aim during this time is to keep the seeds moist enough to germinate. The best approach is to water lightly and often – once or twice a day. After germination, as the seedlings become strong and take hold, water more thoroughly and less often. This will train the roots to grow deeply and strengthen the resulting lawn. Some lawn seed comes coated with bird repellent. This may have advantages, but it is also slower to germinate and may allow weeds to establish themselves before the grass can take hold. This type of seed is also twice the weight of uncoated seed and so, per kilogram, will cover only half the area. Once your lawn has taken hold strongly and the grass has reached a length of about 5cm you can begin mowing. The first few mows should only lightly trim the grass, taking just the tips off the blades – this will encourage the grass to thicken.
