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?

Should You Stay Home During Open Homes or Private Viewings? 🏡🤔
Should You Stay Home During Open Homes or Private Viewings? 🏡🤔
When you list your home for sale, you might wonder: should you be there during inspections? While it’s your home, many agents suggest stepping out during these moments.
Here’s why:
1️⃣ Protecting Your Peace 🛡️
Selling a home is an emotional journey, and potential buyers often share candid opinions about your home. While their feedback can be valuable, it might feel personal when you’re nearby. Stepping out helps you avoid any unintended stress or discomfort.
2️⃣ Creating a Comfortable Atmosphere 🌟
Buyers want to imagine themselves living in your home, and that’s easier to do when they feel at ease. Your presence, even with the best intentions, might make them feel like guests rather than potential owners.
💡 Pro Tip: Take a break—go for coffee ☕ or enjoy a walk in the park 🌳 during inspections. It can make a big difference for everyone involved.
