Property prices continue to soar in Lower Hutt
A Lower Hutt subdivision sold out in a day, as the demand for new properties remains high and prices continue to climb.
The 14 townhouses at the Riverside Drive development in Fairfield were all under offer within hours, starting at $589,000 for a two bedroom unit. All were bought off the plans, and still more 18 months away from being ready to move into.
It comes as Real Estate Institute figures for August, released on Friday, record houses prices recorded in Hutt Valley, with growth month on month faster than other parts of the Wellington region. Professionals real estate agent Shane Brockelbank, who sold the Riverside subdivision, said he was surprised by the speed at which the houses sold.
”Offers started coming in on Thursday morning, and they were gone by the afternoon.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

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.
