ST BEDE’S surfer Caspar
McCormick (above) put on
a stylish display in his first
national event finishing second.
Competing in the longboard
section of the national scholastic
surf championships in Gisborne,
he narrowly missed out on
the title, which was won by
Auckland’s Matt Newdick.

Coach Aaron Lock said
he did incredibly well

“He is a really talented surfer
and we want more contests out of
the young fellow,” he said.
The Canterbury team placed
third overall at the event held
from October 9-13.

about poor road

“Staff have suggested caution
in establishing a working group
due to the resource that will be

said in the memo.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK News.................................... 3-14
THE CITY council has put the
brakes on a bid by Fendalton
residents to set up a working
party to make their streets safer.
Residents on Glandovy, Idris
and Straven Rds say their streets
are poorly laid out, have narrow
cycleways and are used by too
many heavy vehicles.
Two weeks ago we revealed
they had called on the city council
to set up a working party to
thrash out and solve the issues.
But city council boss Karleen
Edwards (see page 1) has just
sent out a memo saying no to the
working party.
Her staff have told her that
the chances of a working party
being able to effect change is
“low”.
So the city council will talk
with the community board
about solutions. No prizes for
guessing for what the residents
think.

Young inventor’s looting solution
• By Julia Evans
MICHAEL HANN likes fixing
things.
The 18-year-old always has.
His earliest memory is helping
his dad, Jody, put an electric
motor on a tricycle. “When I
see a problem, I like to think of
ways to fix or improve it,” he
said.
The Papanui High School
student saw a problem he could
solve when medication and
hearing equipment was stolen
from a North New Brighton
home during the tsunami
evacuation after the Kaikoura
earthquake last November.
“Seeing the looting when the
earthquake happened inspired
me to create this product,” he
said.
So he designed a security
system to be deployed in a
natural disaster when the
power goes out, and now he’s a
finalist in the ASB Bright Sparks
competition. It’s called TEMS,
which Michael said stands
for “temporary emergency
monitoring system”.
The invention acts as a battery
charger for devices and a place
to keep belongings locked inside
during a disaster. It also has
an alarm to keep houses safe
when evacuated. It is triggered
by the rocking caused by an
earthquake and lights up an exit
path. Michael’s now working
on connecting TEMS to an
app which would send a text if
someone breaks in.
“I really want to get it
connected up to a phone
network so it sends out a text or
notification through an app,” he

School, with a prototype of
his security device designed
to be deployed in natural
disasters.

said. Michael will be flying up
to Auckland on November 7 to
attend the Bright Sparks awards
evening.
“It’s on the same night as my
last high school prize-giving,
but I’ve decided to go up to
Auckland instead,” he said.
With him will be his proud
dad, from who Michael may
have inherited the “fix it”
gene. Mr Hann’s job involves
repairing electronics for the
police. “He doesn’t help me that
much on my projects anymore
but . . . we have wires and
stuff lying around the house,”
Michael said.
He spends his free time on
Trade Me, buying broken items
to upgrade. “Sometimes it’s not
even fixing things; I just like to
make improvements like in my
bedroom. I made a motorised
blind to wake me up in the
morning,” he said.
Next year the budding
inventor will study engineering
at Canterbury University.

Victim of drink driving shares his
George Cairney’s life was completely changed
in 2008 when he sat in the back of a car with a
driver who had been drinking. The vehicle crashed
into a brick wall at 135km/h. Mr Cairney, 24, told
his sobering story to students from Christchurch
Boys’ High School and the wider community on
Wednesday. Here’s what he told the students
NOR’WEST NEWS
THANK YOU very much for
having me here this evening, I
think I have a lot of important
information that can
either help, if not save,
your lives.
And you may ask me
what I mean?
I may seem like a
normal guy, just a
regular Joe Blogg, but
I’m sure by the end
of my speech, by the
end of my story, you’ll
think very differently.
At the time of my
accident, I was back at
King’s College. I was in seventh
form in Auckland. I was loving
school, absolutely loving it.
I was in the school’s basketball
team. School sports was a
passion for me and I was loving
school. I got As in English, which
was fantastic. All of these things,
all of these passions I loved, all of
these things can be changed by
George Cairney
one decision, one bad decision.
I would like to tell you about
that now.
I was at a party, it
was about a month
before my final exams.
October 1, 2008. I was
with a bunch of friends,
I was at an 18 th party,
and it was just a regular
night.
But I was drunk, this
was my first mistake
because getting drunk
hinders your ability to
make good decisions. It
makes it really hard to
say ‘hey, I don’t want to do that’.
I asked my friend for a ride
home because I was drunk and I
couldn’t drive.
He said he was sober, he said
he hadn’t had anything to drink
– how was I supposed to know
that? Unless you plan it before or
you keep an eye on it the whole
night.
He told me he was sober, this
was not true. He’d had more
than twice the legal limit to
drive.
We hopped in the car. This was
my next mistake, one of
many – I didn’t put on my seat
belt.
It’s so simple, it takes three
seconds and it saves lives. I may
have been in the back left side of
the car but people still die.
Then he started driving very
fast. Extremely fast and very
badly.

Fire rages, homes at risk
sobering story with students
I should’ve said: ‘Stop. Please
pull over, I’m not comfortable,
will you please let me out.’ It’s
simple.
That was the moment that
changed my life forever.
He was rounding a corner too
fast on Remuera Rd in a 50km/h
zone, going twice the speed
limit-plus.
He hit a power pole exactly
where I was seated.
We went through a garage
door and halfway through a
brick wall.
I was in a coma for a month.
When I woke up, I didn’t
know I was there, I didn’t know
what had happened because I
don’t remember this night. I
don’t remember a year and a
half before this night or a year
and a half after this night.
Three years of my life is gone
and I feel like I’m telling stories
about another person.
But these were my mistakes. It
has affected my life hugely.
I have diabetes, epilepsy,
splenectomy – it took my spleen.
These are the scars from
one, two, three, four, five bad
mistakes in one evening.
I even had to have part of my
skull replaced with titanium
plating.
My left leg was partially
replaced with a titanium rod
and behind this metal front is
the part of my brain that was
most damaged.
Sure, I damaged the left
and right lobe but the frontal
lobe is what makes it hard to
behave correctly, behave socially
correctly and manage my own
life.
I can’t plan. I work with six
carers part time, 24/7.
Every single day of my life is
planned by someone else. That
was not my plan when I was
back at high school, this was not
my plan when I was 17 years of
age.
But I made those mistakes.
Partial loss of sight, partial
loss of hearing, partial loss of
smell.
My left eye I can only see
when I look in one direction.
My right eye, I can’t see my
hand when it’s right there.
My left ear is deaf, which is a
big bummer. I only have eight
per cent taste left, which is a
real bummer – I was a big food
person.
Not so much anymore.
All of these things, all of these
injuries, all of this crap in my
life could’ve been prevented by
just thinking before I did those
things.
Before I finish this speech,
I just have a few questions for
you.
How would you think, how
would you feel if you were in my
position?
How would you feel having all
of this happen to you and you
were in the middle of it?
What would you do to stop it
again? And how would you live?
Because every day I get up, I
feel like I have less motivation.
Every day I get up, it’s hard.
There are three things you
have to remember.
Don’t drink and drive. Come
on, it’s not that hard, is it?
Second thing, (when you) hop
into a car, put your seat belt on.
It’s three seconds of your life.
Put your seat belt on, even
if you’re in the back seat. They
save lives. Millions of lives.
And next, if your friend is
driving dangerously, if he’s
driving fast, if he’s driving
drunk – tell him to pull over, tell
him to stop the car.
You shouldn’t be embarrassed
to ask because they should
be the ones embarrassed for
putting your life in danger.
Thank you.

Funding gives confidence to plan ahead
Manager of the
Neighbourhood
Trust Ginny
Larsen writes
about how
three years
of funding
has secured the trust’s
future to the benefit of the
community
Funding – the very word is
enough to send chills up the
spine of most not-for-profit organisations.
As the manager of Neighbourhood
Trust, (the community arm
of St Albans Baptist Church),
a local not-for-profit working
mainly in the Mairehau, Shirley
and St Albans part of town, I
feel like half my life is taken up
with funding applications and
accountabilities.
So it is a nice surprise to have
some funders making the process
a bit easier by putting three-year
funding as an option.
This year both NZ Lotteries
and the city council, through its
community boards offered this
alternative.
And we are exceptionally grateful
to the Papanui-Innes Community
Board for its grant.
It must be hugely difficult
making decisions, especially as
the funds available to them have
been cut by $85,000.
So what does this mean for an
organisation to have funds guaranteed
for three years?
It gives us confidence to plan
and look ahead, to know we can
retain our wonderfully effective
staff and provide appropriate
training to keep them up-to-date.
It means we can continue to
offer our community consistent,
community-led work at a high
level to a variety of sectors – the
Golden Connections programme
for over-60s; from exercise classes
to community days; from free
English as a second language
classes to OSCAR programmes
to the Pay It Forward collective
of over 50 local designers, selling
their products through the store
at 49 Nancy Ave.
It also means we can dream
a little about working with our
community in different ways,
supporting and mentoring,
listening to their aspirations for
their whanau.
Through the Mairehau Neighbourhood
Project, a three-year
COMMUNITY: The Neighbourhood Trust can focus on
supporting the community now that it has secured three years
of funding.
project supported by The Tindall
Foundation, we have seen transformational,
long-term change;
some remarkable stories.
Working alongside partners
Te Ora Hou and Kingdom
Resources, with Mairehau
Primary School as a base has
brought a depth to our work with
families.
We have seen the value of
longer-term thinking and are
delighted that this work can
now continue to develop. It’s
energising and empowering for
our organisation and for our
community.
On one hand, we are humbled
by the trust funders have put in
us; on the other hand, we’d love
to see the process made easier for
all those organisations who have
a proven track record and give
great value for money.
Let’s release them from the
application grind and free them
for more time making things
happen.
NOR’WEST NEWS
Readers respond to
the article regarding
construction of another
set of lights on Main North
Rd outside Northlands
Shopping Centre.
Glenda McMillan – Maybe
the people who decide these designs
should take a look at some
Australian malls. All their busses
detour into the malls so all other
traffic doesn’t have to deal with
a shambles like Papanui Rd has
become. It’s a real shame as there
is a big impact on the local community
with increased traffic
that doesn’t flow.
Conrad Fitz-Gerald –
Pretty convenient really. I mean,
you don’t even have to find a
park anymore. Just jump out at
the start of the lights and you’ll
be back before you need to go
anywhere. Great way to keep customers
happy.
Unearthed
Excavating our stock room we have brought some
hidden gems to light.
Historic through to recent works will be displayed in
an exhibition unlike any we have held before. Any
artwork can be taken on the purchase day for the
ticket price, no need to wait until the end of the
show. You can also take the silent auction option,
make a respectful written offer to the artist. At the
end of the show the highest bid will be considered,
perhaps it will be yours, a chance to get an artwork
‘for a song’.
Delve into the wonderful paintings, sculptures and
prints by emerging and established artists. Some
of the participants are Robin Slow, Brent Forbes,
Anna Dalzell, Chris Pole, Jane Downes, Hamish
Southcott, Carol Stensrud, Chris Moore, Rae West,
Jill Perrott, Barb Warren and many more.
That esoteric artwork that has haunted you for
years may be back to tempt you, others may
seem like old friends, whatever, it will certainly be
a diverse and intriguing show. Presales welcome.

Darryn Bennett – I’d love
to meet the brainless imbecile
who thought this was a good
idea. Can’t they just stick to
ruining the CBD and leave the
suburbs alone?
Jill Lang – In my opinion
the money would be better spent
putting in much needed right
turning lights. Since the turning
rule was changed some places are
hideous such as Cranford St onto
Innes Rd.
Mike Allfrey – Chuck in a
couple of roundabouts and a
railway crossing while you’re at
it. Way to go council, lets stuff up
the whole traffic flow. And they
wonder why people don’t go to
the CBD. It’s the same but worse
there.
Andrew Miller – The Papanui
High School students that
walk straight out onto the road
will keep doing it.
Aaron Campbell – Don’t
forget the useless traffic islands
with trees and a cycle path that
takes up most of the road and
you are on to a winner.
Vanessa MacKenzie –
Where? There are lights at the
corner by Westpac, there are
lights at the closest entrance
to Countdown and lights by
Couplands. If people are crossing

unsafely, shouldn’t they be penalised
for it? Most crossing are
grown-ups who know better.
Jacque Skinner – This is
getting ridiculous! They’ve also
put completely unnecessary
crossing lights in on Sawyers
Arms Rd at the Papanui Club.
There are lights down just a bit
at the Gardiners Rd intersection
so this is going to cause even
more congestion especially
after school. There was already
a crossing bay there that cars
would often stop for so lights are
a waste of money which could
have been used to put lights
where really need such as the
hideous Breens/Harewood/Gardiners
Rds intersection.
Rachel Powell – It’s already
so slow going that way it’s quicker
to go around back streets to
avoid Papanui Rd do they really
need more lights in that area.

working party
•From page 1
Concerned resident James
Wilding said it was difficult to
comprehend there would be a
“low” chance of change with a
working group.
“Fundamental city council policy
includes listening to and working
with communities, creating
healthy and safe communities and
elected members making decisions.
We want to work with the city
council,” he said.
Dr Edwards sent the memo after
city council staff recommended
the issues could be “sufficiently
addressed” by having a work shop
with the community board next
month. That workshop would not
include the public, which Mr Wilding
said was “difficult to reconcile”.
One issue Mr Wilding was
expressly concerned about is the
width of the cycleway on Idris Rd.
Dr Edwards said the section of
the cycle lane would be remarked
by November. But Mr Wilding said
the city council has only acknowledged
one section of the cycle lane
does not comply, when there are
more than 10.
The memo will be discussed
by the community board at its
meeting tonight.

Bypass almost finished
Open Day
planned for
October 29
THE WESTERN Belfast Bypass
project is almost finished.
Construction of the 5km,
four-lane stretch of road which
will aim to cut down traffic from
Main North Rd to the airport is
95 per cent complete.
Work is to set to ramp up over
the next few weeks as the project
draws to a close.
Traffic will be switched onto
the new bypass in stages from
early November after an open

The stagnated opening will

surfacing work on the ramps.

project. Depending on the
weather, all lanes of the bypass
should be open to traffic in
December.
The construction team will
return to lay the final low noise
asphalt surfacing in spring 2018.
About 118,000 plants, shrubs
and trees have been planted
along the bypass.
Most have been grown from
seeds and cuttings sourced from
native plants in the area.
During the project, more than
3500 native fish, including long
fin and short fin eels, giant bully
and inanga, have been rescued
and relocated to other parts of
the waterway.
Where the bypass travels over
waterways, culverts have been
designed to allow fish passages
and riparian planting has been
restored with native species.

crowned national champions for
the sixth year in a row.

of students from north-west

compete earlier this month.
Their only loss came in pool
play at the hands of Wanganui
(2-3). They beat Manawatu
(12-0), Thames Valley (7-0) and
Hawkes Bay (4-0) before beating
Waikato 4-0 in the quarter-final.
After a tough 2-1 win over
hosts South Canterbury in
the semi-final, they faced
Wellington. Christchurch Girls’
High’s Sophie Bowden slotted
home the winner from a penalty
corner with 4min to go.
She then added another after
Wellington subbed their goalie,
to close out the game 4-2.
Villa Maria’s Kate Davies
was the top scorer for the side
netting eight goals during the
tournament.
The under-15 A girls team
also won a national title after
travelling to North Harbour.
The team, made up entirely of
north-west school students,
went through the tournament
undefeated.
They finished top of their pool
with wins against Otago (6-0),
Taranaki (4-0) and Northland
(1-0) before following this up
with a tough quarter-final 2-1
victory against Waikato.

Morel bowls start of season SPORTS
• By Andrew King
CANTERBURY’S most
decorated bowler has got her
season off to another great start.
Bev Morel won the South
Island chartered clubs women’s
championship fours title this
month.
Playing with her longtime
partner and sister Theresa
Woodham, as well as Sherrie
Cottle and Margaret Pilkington,
the team overcame stiff competition
from 54 teams throughout
the South Island.
“In the final, the three girls
played outstanding and I played
average,” she said.
“Luckily, my opponent struggled
as well. It was just one of
those games.”
It was another win for the
Redwood resident, who turns 76
in November.
She was recently awarded her
35th Canterbury centre title by
Bowls Canterbury president
Brian Barker at the Elmwood
Park Club, the most by any
woman bowler in the region.
Morel still trains four days
a week at the gym as well as
mentoring and coaching new
bowlers at her local club.
With the national open championships
approaching, she will
be looking to add to her three
titles. “I am looking forward to
nationals. I have been to a few,”
she said.
One of her standout memories
HONOURED: Bev Morel was presented with her 35th Canterbury centre title by Bowls
Canterbury president Brian Barker at the Elmwood Park Club.
as a bowler was from a national
event in Dunedin in 1998.
“My brother died while I was
down there playing and my sister
was in my team,” she said.
“We played for our brother
and won it. We knew he was
going to pass away and we both
missed his funeral. He told us
to go there and win the title and
we did.”
Morel started playing in 1981
after making the change from
indoor bowls to outdoor as her
friend and husband were already
playing outdoor bowls.
In spite of Morel’s success, she
has never been in the national
team, known as the Blackjacks.
“Problem is it is an age thing.
(I was) told in my 50s I was too
old,” she said.
She said there is a definite age
culture bias with the selectors.
“They might deny it but
they have an age culture,” she
said.

Finally It Is
Here
Concrete homes may be
the way of the future
Compass Homes Canterbury have completed
construction of their concrete
show home in Prestons Park, Burwood –
the first of its kind in the South Island.
With this type of construction, specially
formulated concrete is poured into aluminium
building forms, then left to set.
This allows all the walls to be poured at
the property in one solid piece.
Christchurch General Manager for Compass
Homes, Yolande Mintrom, says she
and her team are very excited to see the
launch of ‘The Concrete Home’.
“Its benefits are speed, eco-friendliness,
versatility and warmth,” Yolande says.
Metal mesh made in New Zealand is used
for reinforcing, she says, providing a
structure that has a very high earthquake,
flood and fire resistance, as well as an extremely
high thermal efficiency.
“The thermal mass of concrete homes
is more efficient than conventional
wooden homes. It reduces the energy
required, and therefore the expense of
heating or cooling your home.”
Yolande also points out that concrete
homes are beneficial for those suffering
from allergies, as concrete doesn’t
support the growth of mould or mildew.
It tends to also have lower ongoing
maintenance costs, which she
puts down to the fact that it is less
absorbent than other materials.
This weekend, Compass Homes will
be opening the doors to the very first
Concrete Show Home in Canterbury,
and it will be the first of many,
Yolande says.
“The finish, the features, the duty of
care is evident in every corner of this
well-positioned home, situated at 33
Preston Park Road, Burwood. Come
and have a look for yourself.”
Compass Homes Showhomes are
open 12 pm—4 pm, Wednesday to
Sunday at 54 Footbridge Terrace,
Sillverstream, Kaiapoi, as well as 33
Prestons Park Road, Burwood.
See you there!

Part of the magic of being a girl-led

FASHION: Model Cirrus Tan shows off designer Cindy Weiss’ land of the long
white cloud design at the Art Couture NZ wearable arts competition.
Harewood
designer’s
wearable
creation
HAREWOOD‘S Cindy Weiss was among
the designers who unleashed their weird
and wonderful art in Selwyn’s first
wearable arts competition.
Art Couture NZ brought its first fashion
show to life in Tai Tapu, attracting about
150 people through the door.
The show, judged by designer Loretta
Sloan and artists Steve Henderson
and Blanche Fryer, featured about 29
designers.
Ms Weiss created a New Zealandinspired
outfit titled ‘land of the long
white cloud’.
The dress was made of merino wool and
seaweed.
Organiser Kim Strange said the dress
was a “beautiful garment that was well
constructed”.
Mrs Strange said people were stunned
at the quality of the garments and the
creativity of the designers.
NOR’WEST NEWS
BEAUTY: Designers from around
the country descended on Tai Tapu
for the wearable arts competition,
including Auckland’s Leanne Day and
model Laura Murton with this
award-winning madame bride design.
“It was just nice watching everyone’s
faces. You just saw everyone getting a lot
of pleasure from it . . . we have got very
clever people,” she said.
The competition, hosted by city
councillor Anne Galloway, included
designs ranging from a phoenix-style
dress to futuristic themed items.
The audience also had the chance to mix
with the designers and models.
“People were able to see the outfits up
close and go and talk to the designers to
see how they made them . . . they seemed
to enjoy that,” Mrs Strange said.
She’ll see
opportunities

HEALTH & BEAUTY
Clinic offers easy
solution to varicose veins
If varicose veins are a problem for you, the
dedicated, professional team at Transform
Clinic in Mandeville Street Riccarton can
provide the perfect solution.
Firstly, they will give you a free
assessment of your veins, and then suggest
the appropriate method of treatment,
depending on the condition of the veins.
There are two methods available –
endo-venous laser treatment, which is
used for both smaller and larger veins,
and ultrasound guided sclerotherapy.
Both are easy and straightforward, and
you can be fully active immediately
afterwards, without needing to take any
time off work, or curtail your normal
activities. The only requirement is for you
to wear special stockings for two weeks
following treatment, and daily walking is
recommended.
Both these treatments give long-term
relief from the pain and discomfort of
varicose veins, and as Transform Clinic’s
Jenny Little points out, they have become
the treatment method of today, with
surgical removal of varicose veins now
considered obsolete.
Jenny advises having treatment as early
as possible when varicose veins start to
appear, as left untreated they may lead to
venous ulcers and venous eczema, although
if these have developed, Transform Clinic
can treat them as well.
Transform Clinic has an affiliation
with health provider Southern Cross and
relationships with several other health
insurance companies, which means you are
usually covered for treatment, providing it
is included in your policy.
Transform Clinic also offers a full range
of appearance medicine options, including
skin rejuvenation and skin-tightening
treatments designed to improve skin quality
and enhance self-esteem. They remove
superficial veins on the legs and face, and
also provide mole mapping, mole removal
and primary skin cancer removal. Their
website, www.transformclinic.co.nz, has
information on all the various treatments
available.
“We are a ‘one-stop shop’ for all cosmetic
medicine treatments,” says Jenny.
Transform Clinic is discreetly located
at 52a Mandeville Street. Opening hours
are Monday to Friday from 8.30am, with
late nights on Tuesday and Thursday,
and Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Phone
343-2880 to enquire about treatments or

LUCKY? Perhaps more pure talent than luck!
Lana Doublet says she is ‘over the moon’ aer
claiming the NZ Country Music Awards
Songwriter of the Year for the 3rd consecutive
year.
“e song that won my recent title is called
'Together Apart' - inspired aer watching an
Attitude Live documentary of the same name
that told a beautifully sad story about how a
family lived with the struggle of dementia.”
Taking place in Rotorua on Saturday 14th
October, the prestigious NZCMA event is
considered the pinnacle for winners of
regional Country Music competitions.
“I've always had a love of music and
storytelling but it wasn't until I was
introduced to the country music scene aer
meeting my husband Phil Doublet, that I was
able to combine the two,” said Lana. “I have
always been very stage-shy, and still get
extremely nervous, so thankful for the
constant support and encouragement from
family and friends telling me 'I can'.”
And ‘she has’. Over the past few years Lana
has claimed numerous awards, including

Licensed Sales Consultant
As the 2017 year comes to an end many people are
making choices for 2018 with many people choosing
to move home, change schools, buy a car and
organise another holiday.
We make important choices throughout our life; what schools our
children will go to, what food we eat, what friends we have, where
to go on holiday, and the values we instil in our children. Two of
the biggest choices we have to make are; where we live and when
to sell and buy. A crucial component of the process is selecting
the right licensed real estate salesperson to guide you through the
mountain of information and industry jargon. A salesperson can
assist in the important task of identifying the right buyer for your
house, as well as understanding your unique requirements and
make your next dream home a reality. It takes great negotiation and
sales skills teamed with effective target marketing to deliver the
very best results. Kathryn and Peter can offer you an exceptional
real estate experience. Working as a team we collectively together
want to achieve the very best results and the best outcome. Give us
a call today, we would really like to hear from you.

Client Comments
We sold our house in Strowan Road. We were fortunate that we listed with experienced local agents Peter and Kathryn Hampton to perform this task on
our behalf. We were very impressed by Peter and Kathryn’s knowledge of the local area. The Marketing campaign which fitted in with our budget suggested
by Peter and Kathryn attrached a large number of people to the Open Home viewings. Throughout the three weeks sales period, Peter and Kathryn’s
communication and buyer feedback was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Their professional attitude and honesty gave us confidence to trust his decisions.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter and Kathryn Hampton to anybody looking at selling their house.
Brian and Maryanne
Many thanks Peter and Kathryn for doing such a great job in selling our house. We appreciated your knowledge of the local market, your ability to listen, your
calm demeanours and your straight forward and clear communication (without any annoying jargon!) The selling price was above our expectations and that
was down to your hard work and experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.
Cherry
I listed my three bedroomed villa with Peter and Kathryn Hampton, and have been extremely happy with the process and outcome. Their local knowledge and
past experience with other properties in the area proved to be invaluable to help convince buyers that ‘this was one of them.’ From the outset, I was determined
to find an agent that was realistic with market value, knew their stuff and would not tell me what they thought I wanted to hear. Coupled with a close working
relationship, as well as the ever important sale, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.
Brent
I thought both Kathryn and Peter worked really hard to promote and sell my house. They were easy to contact and explained what was happening clearly. I
really loved Kathryn assistance to get the house looking fantastic for the open homes.
