Hi Neighbours!

We hope you are keeping warm and dry in this cold and wet weather.
To warm you up a little we are going to share our "Seven Top Tips To Get A Property Ready For Sale". We will share a new tip every couple of days. Enjoy tip number 1!


Planning to sell a property? Follow these seven simple tips to ensure your property will provide you with the best possible return on the time and money invested.

Having made the decision to sell a property, an investor should be aiming to maximise their returns.
To this end, they need to make sure their property presents as well as possible to potential buyers. But that does not have to mean spending vast amounts of time and money.

There are some straightforward, cost-effective ways to go about doing this. Here is our first tip for getting a property sale ready:

1. First impressions matter

First impressions count for a lot with potential buyers and those impressions are formed quickly. Therefore, vendors need to make sure the exterior of their property presents well.

Lawns should be mowed, hedges should be trimmed, paving or concrete should be cleaned, fences should be well-maintained and paintwork should be clean and fresh. The property needs to be spick and span and any renovations must be complete. This includes minor repairs as well as major ones.

Electricity switchover scandal

Stuff which runs Neighbourly have run a commercially viable campaign to get subscribers to shift their electricity supplier to Nova.

So I just went through the comparison test between what Nova is offering and my current provider, Meridian. And to my surprise despite all the hype that Stuff had created, Meridian is $40 cheaper on my last bill from them.

I am no great fan of Meridian otherwise and I actually have shares in Mighty Power but Meridian seem still to give residents in the Wellington region the best deal among electricity providers. This does not include gas.

Fireworks at risk - so are the birds

Annual "Fireworks Fantastic" staged at Trentham Memorial Park is at risk of being canned unless the Upper Hutt City Council puts money into it says the Upper Hutt Leader's front page.

The council will probably do so unless we object.

TMP is virtually a bird sanctuary with its twin areas of native forests and any fireworks especially in the nesting season, is greatly damaging towards birds. Of course the commotion of the fireworks is simply terrifying to birds. So TMP is not the place for this kind of event.

So let's make the UHCC well aware of this as if they are not already but choose to turn a blind eye - or deaf ear.
