Council has successfully prosecuted a Lower Hutt company for failing to strengthen a residential building it owns in Petone.

Council has attempted to have the owner strengthen the building for a number of years. The 2016 Kaikoura quake and the growing scientific work around quake-prone buildings, and a lack of action on the owners part, prompted Council to take court action as a last resort.

Westpac report says the good times in the residential property market will "end very soon".

Garry Tranter from Price My House for Free Limited

The housing market is facing a looming slowdown, according to Westpac's chief economist Dominick Stephens.

In a Home Truths Report on the housing market Stephens said although the market was positive for now, it will soon slow.

"In our view the good times for the market are going to end very soon," he said.

"We are forecasting a small decline in house prices in the second half of 2018.

The report pointed to six factors that would likely cause a market slowdown:

- Foreign buyers will be banned from buying existing residential properties, probably by the middle of this year.

- Ring fencing tax losses on residential investment properties, which means investors won't be able to offset any tax losses from a property against other income.

- The Tax Working Group will probably recommend a Capital Gains Tax, although the family home will likely be exempted.

- Mortgage rates are more likely to rise than fall

- Net migration is expected to keep slowing while home construction will keep rising.

"This is a prodigious set of negative factors, but for a few reasons we are forecasting only a slight house price decline, rather than anything dramatic," the report said.

Poll: Is it fair for petrol prices to vary according to where you live?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

An internal email from BP's head office has exposed the petrol industry's pricing behaviour. It revealed a novel tactical plan: raise prices in the Levin, Kāpiti and Paraparaumu areas, and hope that its major rivals responded by doing the same. To find out more, click here.

Wondering kitty

Michelle from Belmont

Has anyone, around Belmont Domain, been seeing this little madam on a regular basis?
She's been away from home a lot more than usual and has put on a bit of weight - from what I suspect is extra feeding. Please let me know if you've seen her hanging around :)
