Around the country, the demand for property continues to outstrip supply, driving record median prices even higher. In Auckland - where an average house price of over $1m has seen it ranked the fourth least-affordable city in the world - some properties sit empty and unmaintained.
Last week I reported on some of Auckland's mysterious million dollar dumps, and I'm sure there are plenty more out there. If you live near an empty, derelict property and are curious about it, I'd love to hear from you - flick me an email at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz

Auckland Council workers are surveying healthy trees as part of their study into kauri dieback disease.
They are investigating the impacts of the disease on individual trees and the wider kauri population.
Auckland Council kauri dieback team manager Lisa Tolich said new remote sensing technology had given the council a good estimate of how many kauri trees spanned the ranges.
The team had drawn a sample of trees to survey.
“We are giving 3500 kauri in the Waitākere Ranges a full health check and will continue monitoring these specific trees for years to come,” Tolich said.
“The trees have been randomly selected from the overall population so field teams don’t know going in whether they’ll be assessing healthy or diseased trees.
“This is important because it means we can build a picture of what’s happening across the entire population – not just the areas where we know the pathogen is already present.”
Data collected will identify risks to tree health associated with the locations, environment and other factors such as changing climate.
Survey findings will help the council assess how well precautionary measures are working and if any adjustments are needed.
Funding for the monitoring programme comes from the Natural Environment Targeted Rate at an expected cost of between $650,000 and $700,000.
This includes the design and delivery of the Waitākere Ranges Surveillance programme between 2020-2022.
Environment and Climate Change Committee chair Richard Hills said the investment was another step towards helping protect and preserve kauri forests.
“Kauri dieback disease is unfortunately not going away and the more we can find out about the disease, through robust processes like our surveillance and monitoring programmes, the better placed we are to protect our native taonga now and for generations to come.”

My home is on the market. View the nearly complete floorplan below with the (almost) original floorplan at the bottom. Printing out the pdf attached will make it easier to spot the differences.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to count the number of differences in the two floorplans.
Note: Please count each difference every time it occurs (each time it occurs) even if the same difference is repeated somewhere else. e.g the same difference (change) in two places is counted as two differences not one.
Also see:
www.trademe.co.nz...
Looking at the pictures and video in the above link may help you spot the differences.
Please email me (Alan) the number of differences you find.
Please send your emails to alan99nz@gmail.com before the closing date (19 March).
Good Luck.
p.s. I asked the real estate salesperson to look at the original floorplan, photograph during an open home anywhere changes were required, and send the photos to the person creating the floorplan who had not seen the property.
The salesperson only sent one photo!
I really appreciate Tim's help getting the floorplan updated :)

If yes to any of these questions, then please see our buyers this week. We will buy single items or complete collections.
