Help with Downsizing or with a Deceased Estate

Ant McLagan from DownSize NZ

Hi Neighbours

You may have seen our vehicles around your neighbourhood but be uncertain about what we do.

At DownSize NZ, we clear unwanted possessions from homes. We help our clients to dispose of unwanted items from their house, garage or section and we sell, donate, recycle or dump items on their behalf.

As well as helping clients when downsizing or moving into care, around half of our work involves deceased estates where we provide a complete service of clearing possessions and preparing homes for sale. As well as clearing possessions we tidy-up sections, complete necessary house maintenance and arrange any repairs needed to ensure the property achieves the best sale price possible.

For reference, we're a local Hawkes Bay business, have been Police-vetted and we take no commissions on items we sell. You can read what our clients say about us and see some examples of our work at downsize.co.nz...

So if you or someone you know needs a hand with downsizing or help with a deceased estate, please get in touch on 06 601 4266.

Kind regards, Ant and Sue McLagan
Owners, DownSize NZ

New World Havelock North car park

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Sitting in my work van, in the new New World carpark and I’ve been getting dirty looks. I get it. My van is halfway into the driving area. Literally. If you look, even from a distance, you’ll see my back end is almost hard against the fence, with my towball around the corner of the fence.
My work van is over 6m long and the car parks are only about 4.5m. The only spaces I can park out of the way are the nearest and the furthest corners from the door. And that still means parking across another carpark. Today, both those parks were taken.
Now, before you point out that I shouldn’t bring such a big vehicle to the supermarket, 1) why not? Everyone needs to shop; and 2) I drive a retirement village resident passenger van. And they have as much right to shop as anyone.
Okay, so park in the mobility parks. Nope. I don’t have a Mobility decal or placard. And, those parks are the same length as all the others.
So, if you want to get me to stop blocking the way, do the supermarket survey on your receipts and ask for one way driving around the carpark (clockwise is the most logical and safest) and oversized parks. Almost every other supermarket has them. Vehicles are getting bigger, parks aren’t.
