Auctions can be daunting but check out a few tips for buyers preparing to buy a home through the auction process.

What are some of the most successful bidding strategies?

A lot of buyers sit back to wait at auctions - this approach gives the other buyers more confidence. 

Arrive at the auction with confidence and a genuine commitment to give it your best. It creates an atmosphere where other bidders can see that you aren’t going to give up. It wears the other bidders down. 

What does this look like on the day?

Open the bidding confidently at a respectable price to show you mean business and as soon as another person bids then bid straight over the top. This allows you to control the auction and make the other buyers think you are not going to give up. 

Essentially, bid boldly, confidently and don’t show any sign of weakness. 

The best thing about an auction for you the buyer is that you can see the last bid unlike with a private sale. 

For info on the auction process give me a call or message me 0274951536

It’s all go in Welcome Bay! 🤩

The playground upgrade and new 3x3 basketball court at Waipuna Park are complete, and the middle sports fields (northern end of the park) are getting better drainage and new training lights installed. Once this work is complete, cricket practice nets will be added. We’re also connecting up the existing footpath at the northern end of Kaitemako Road to the new pathway that leads into the playground.

A heads up that two access points to Johnson Reserve will be closed over the next few weeks for upgrades, including the Pelorus Street walkway which is getting a new fence, and the Meander Drive access which is getting a new concrete path and boardwalk.

More information about Welcome Bay parks improvements can be found here bit.ly...

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

The frequency of cleaning curtains largely depends on a few factors such as the material of the curtains, their location, and the level of dust and pollutants in the air. As a general rule, it is recommended to clean your curtains every 6-12 months. Here are some reasons why:

1. Dust and allergens: Curtains can collect dust, dirt, and allergens over time. If you or anyone in your household suffers from allergies or asthma, it is especially important to clean your curtains regularly to prevent the accumulation of allergens that can trigger symptoms.
2. Stains and spills: Curtains can also become stained or soiled from spills, pet hair, or everyday use. Regular cleaning can help remove these stains and keep your curtains looking fresh and new.
3. Sun damage: Curtains can also become damaged over time from exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning can help prevent sun damage and prolong the life of your curtains.
4. Odours: Curtains can also absorb odours from cooking, smoking, or pets. Regular cleaning can help eliminate these odours and keep your home smelling fresh.

However, curtains located in high-traffic areas, such as the living room or kitchen, may require more frequent cleaning, perhaps every three to six months. Curtains made of heavy fabrics, such as velvet or chenille, may also collect more dust and require more frequent cleaning.

In addition to regular cleaning, it is also recommended to vacuum your curtains regularly to remove dust and other particles. This can help to reduce the frequency of deep cleaning and extend the life of your curtains.
