New Government Website - Settled.
Hi neighbours,
This week the REAA made some subtle changes to its name, now called REA and launched a new website www.settled.govt.nz...
Having a quick read of settled this morning, there is a heap of a useful information set out in a user-friendly way on buying and selling property in NZ. It covers selling with an agent and selling privately.
Check out the new site at the link below and enjoy your Art Deco weekend.
PS: The Puketapu Auction and Fair is on Sunday 25th February at the Puketapu Lake. It's going to be a great day with something for everyone with over 70 stall holders!
Ben.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
