Poll: If you're renting, what are you seeing?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Rental prices on Trade Me have dropped but Hamilton seems to have missed the memo with city property managers saying that’s not what they are seeing.

The latest Trade Me rental price index shows prices have fallen to an eight month low, with the median cost of a rental in the Waikato at $580 - down 0.9%.

If you're renting, what are you seeing? Tell us about it in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Tamahere home in dentist case was once centre of accountant’s fraud

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s been a feature in a recent Hamilton District Court trial , but a Tamahere mansion already has an complicated history.

The property in Woodcock Rd - notable for having a hydroslide in the back yard - the scene of now-disproved alleged sexual offending by Hamilton dentist Rahul Gautam - made headlines more than 15 years ago, when it was a focus in the case of accountant Gary Soffe.
