I always get asked what questions should I ask when choosing a Property Manager, so I thought I would put together each week a snippet of two questions and answers from "Personal Property Management" perspective.

Part 1 of 6
1) Does the agency have a dedicated Property Management Department?
PPM answer: We specialise in Property Management. It’s our passion. We don’t have any other side areas we just focus on Property Management and our point of difference is one person handles all aspects of the rental from the owner to the property and the tenancy.
2) Are you a real estate investor yourself?
PPM answer: I own my own property in Karori and have done extensive renovations to make it into a 4-bedroom plus in the progress of turning the rumpus room into a one-bedroom flat - underneath our current house. I have also helped my father with his 7 rentals ever since I was young – it's been like a family business. My goal this year is to buy my first rental investment.
If you have any questions about your rental or need some advice please don't hesitate to call Andrew 0274 888 933 PPM

My cat has decided he is not too happy to go outside these days since a new cat (I am assuming) in the neighbourhood beat him up a few weeks ago really badly resulting in a vet stay. He seems to be getting increasingly scared. I think I need to resort to a cat litter tray. I am happy to pay but it must be hooded:)

The Hutt City Council recently agreed to name its first dog park after Dalton, who died in May 2020, while working on opening the amenity, which would have been his most significant achievement.
His wife, Jill Dalton, said he would have been delighted by the decision.
“I think it is a wonderful tribute to him and his legacy of 45 years.”
Mayor Campbell Barry said Dalton was an advocate for dog welfare and having a dog park named after him in Wainuiomata, where he lived, was a fitting tribute.

The little manu first came into the care of The Nest Te Kōhanga, the Zoo’s animal hospital, on Boxing Day when he was found on the ground in Eastbourne.
Team Leader at The Nest Te Kōhanga, Shanna Rose, says the vet team was able to treat the owl’s injuries and provide supportive care, which he responded well to.

It’s a moment of horror – moving a piece of furniture and realizing what it’s done to the carpet. In fact, some people even refuse to move their furniture around because they don’t know how to get rid of the carpet dents that the heavy pieces have left. Luckily, there is a fix!

The only things you’ll need are ice cubes, and a vacuum or hairbrush.
1. Place an ice cube on the dent. If the dent is large or long, use extra ice cubes as needed
2. Allow the ice cubes to melt.
3. Once the ice cubes have melted, the carpet will fluff back up.
4. After the area has dried, vacuum over the dents or gently use a hairbrush to further fluff the carpet if needed.
Additional Tips:
Moving furniture a few inches at regular intervals can help prevent carpet dents from becoming severe. Every couple months, scoot the couch or other heavy items a couple inches to one side and fluff up the dents. If this is done, the dent can often be fluffed simply with your fingers; no water necessary.
Scraping a coin over the dent can also work to fluff it up if your fingers alone aren’t getting the pile back up.
Another method of fluffing the carpet is to use a spray mister to slightly wet the dent, then use a hair dryer on warm or cool air (holding it several inches away from the carpet) to dry the area while gently fluffing up the pile with your fingers or a hairbrush.
Another method of fluffing the carpet is to use steam. Hold a clothing or upholstery steamer several inches above the carpet and quickly blast the dent with steam. Let the dent cool, then use your fingers or a hairbrush to fluff it up. However, most carpets are nylon, and nylon can melt easily, so it’s best to test the steam on a small hidden area first, such as in the corner of a closet, to see how the carpet fibres react to the heat. Again, be sure to hold the steamer several inches away from the carpet when applying the steam.
