Council set to sell houses for unpaid rates
Two Napier houses are for sale after their owners failed to pay rates.
In both cases the owners claim they did not know the council had applied to the High Court to sell their house sold.
Justin Gregory, a 75 year-old engineer, has lived in his house for 41 years.Gregory said he had no idea his rates weren’t being paid.
“I got a letter earlier this year telling me to set up a direct debit to pay my rates, so I went to the bank and did that. I thought it was coming out of my pension automatically, like my power and insurance,” he said.
