Prepare your home for the Spring Selling Season
Starting today you should be thinking about Spring being the best time to list your home for sale as most potential buyers tend to make their way out of the hibernation of the winter months.
Now is a good a time to look at the maintenance and repair items that need attention.
Make a list of the must-do items needed for a successful sale and those that are wish list items and ensure that you are working through the essential items prior to listing your home for sale.
Make time for repairs and maintenance now so that when it's Spring and time to list your home for sale and in front of interested potential buyers it can be the difference in the number of weeks that your home is on the market.
Inaction may result in negotiations on the final sale price.

FARMERS PURCHASING
JUST A HEADS UP TO SHOPPERS. I HAVE SHOPPED AT FARMERS FOR YEARS. BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT ON THE DOCKET IS SAYS IF YOU RETURN AN ITEM THEY WILL NOT REFUND MONEY BUT GIVE YOU A GIFT VOUCHER. NONE OF THE STAFF HAVE EVER STATED THAT. I PURCHASED AN ITEM SATURDAY RETURNED IT SUNDAY AS FOUND I HAD ONE WHEN ARRIVING HOME. EXPECTING A REFUND, BUT NO APPARENTLY NOT. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING AS I WILL IN THE FUTURE.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
