McCaw inspires St Andrew’s first XI
The 28-year-old spoke to
the students for 30min
about perseverance and
success and answered any
questions.
She also ran a coaching
and skills session on the school
turf.
The opportunity came about
when a parent won an auction
for McCaw’s time at the Chalky
Carr Trust fundraising dinner,
of which McCaw is the patron.
She spoke to the team about
the importance of looking
within yourself, giving 100 per
cent and never giving up on
your dreams.
She stressed the importance
of staying focused on school
work as well as the need for a
career after sport.
The team will be travelling to
the AIMS Games in Tauranga
in September.
They hope to place in the top
five at that event.
The team currently play in
division two in the Canterbury
Hockey Kwik Sticks 11-aside
competition.
They currently sit at the top of

Consent
sought
to build
Belfast
shopping
centre
• By Sophie Cornish
THE FIRST stage of a commercial
centre in Belfast may soon get the
green light after almost 20 years of
planning.
Belfast Village Centre Ltd has
applied for a land use consent to
develop a commercial centre on
Main North Rd, near the corner of
Johns Rd.
The 11,295 sq m proposal includes
a supermarket as the key anchor
tenant and several retail, food and
office spaces.
A city council spokeswoman said
the consent is still being processed
and no decision has been made yet.
Planning for the site dates back
to the early 2000s when a sequence
of Environment Court cases began
between Apple Fields Ltd, the city
council and Environment Canterbury
as to the zoning of the land.
The application covers stage one
of the development.
Future stages, which will involve
separate consent applications, are
anticipated to include community
facilities such as a health care and
child care centre. •Turn to page 4

CHRISTCHURCH continues to grow.
Our front page article today reveals more
commercial development is planned in
the north-west, this one near the corner of
Main North Rd and Johns Rd.
It comes on the back of major roading changes to the area and
fast residential growth. People mean money and where there’s
people and money, business sets up.
There’s never been any rocket science in that.
The Belfast plan includes a supermarket as the key anchor tenant
– no surprises there – and retail and food outlets.
It was first mooted 20 years ago by the late Tom Kain, of horse
racing and Apple Fields fame, and his wife Tessa. She is behind
the latest application.

Rats invade park in St Albans
• By Sophie Cornish
RATS HAVE taken up
residence in Abberley Park,
St Albans, threatening the
monarch butterfly and fantail
populations.
Traps have been set to rid the
park of rats. Friends of Abberley
Park group member Patricia
Wallace said butterfly numbers
had been noticeably dwindling.
“When concerns were raised
that rats might be eating
butterflies in the trees at night, it
immediately spiked our interest.
We also have quite a lot of
fantails and we know rats eat the
eggs and fledglings of our native
birds like these,” she said.
City council manager
community parks Al Hardy said
while no decisions have been
made in relation to rat control,
cameras, traps and a small
number of mice and rat traps
have shown evidence of rats in
the park.
Only one rat nest has been
found so far, after a dog had a
particular interest with one tree.
“We shook the trees and
we saw rats running in the
branches,” said Ms Wallace.
Ms Wallace is calling on
any volunteers who could help
to reduce the problem, and is
urging the public to report any
information if they see rats in
the park.
She said all parties involved
want to be careful about what
sort of traps that are set.
“Because it’s a public park, it’s
bounded by domestic buildings
which will probably have cats
and dogs and there are children,
too, who enjoy the park, too, so
we can’t be having any poison

baits.” She believes the number
of rats in Christchurch has
increased since the earthquakes.
“There is still an awful lot
of buildings in demolition or
rebuild states in St Albans.”
‘We’re optimistic that the
new traps might make a big
difference and we are asking
people to notify us if they see
any rat nests in the park,” she
said.

The city council is targeting
work on pump stations in the
north-west of the city to improve
well head security, in order to
stop chlorinating the water at
those pump stations. Water
supply improvement programme
manager Helen Beaumont said
the pump stations involved
have a mix of above ground and
below ground well heads. Those
identified for remedial works are
Grampian, Farrington, Burnside,

I RECENTLY voted against
giving $20,000 of ratepayer
money to Te Ora Hou
Otautahu to fund a social work
programme to address needs
such as mental health, and as
the chairman of our board
that has attracted some media
attention.
It would be fair to say I’ve
copped some heavy criticism
this week for that call, but
equally so – I have been heartened
by the phone calls from
locals pleased that I have spoken
out for ratepayers.
Don’t get me wrong, I am all
for supporting people who are
in need of help, and am a strong
believer in the social investment
approach that was championed
by former Prime Minister Bill
English. Where I disagree is
over who should fund it – I am
strongly in the camp that says
this is, and should be, a responsibility
of central government
not local government.
I hear from residents across
the Fendalton, Waimairi
and Harewood Wards on a
daily basis with concerns over
roading, water chlorination,
cycleway spending and now
likely rate rises as a result of the
city council’s Long Term Plan
2018. This current LTP has quite
rightly pointed out that there is
a limited pool of funds that can
be used in our city to improve
everything we need done, and
that additional spending comes
out of the pockets of all us who
pay rates.

to point out that local ratepayers

New bid for Edgeware Pool funding
• By Sophie Cornish
A GIVE-A-LITTLE campaign
was set to be launched yesterday
in a bid to begin fundraising for
the new Edgeware Pool.
The pool has a budget of $5
million which will see an 25m
outdoor pool and a 14m indoor
pool.
A launch event to unveil a
new logo and the fundraising
campaign was set to be held
yesterday at the old pool
entrance on Edgeware Rd.
One of the longest members
of the St Albans Swim Club
and president for many years,
Brian Gardner, attended the
launch, along with Christchurch
Central MP Duncan Webb,
city councillors, Papanui-Innes
Community Board members
and other supporters from the
community.
Nor’West News released plans
by Apollo Designs, who designed
the new QE II, for the pool in
April.
The complex will have no
operating cost for ratepayers as it
is an entirely community-driven
project
Pool spokesman Paul
Somerville said the support from
design agency ‘imagic’ for the
logo provided a professional edge
to the important part of the pool
project.
“Raising money is obviously
key to the success of getting
Edgeware Pool open. We have a
much smaller budget than other
proposed pool projects around
the city. However, it’s still a
significant amount of money.”
“We have already raised
more than $150,000 to fund the
project to this point, as well as
an equivalent amount in probono
services and consultancy
fees which was needed to get
the resource consent. We are
extremely grateful. And now
imagic is doing this pro bono
which is extraordinary,” said Mr
Somerville.
Imagic account director Tim
Thomas said the agency feels
particularly excited about being
involved in the project as it is not
far from where the new pool will
be located.
“We are on Colombo St, on the
Edgeware side of Bealey Ave, just
down the road from where the
new pool will be. We are looking
forward to popping up the road
for a swim at lunchtimes,” he
said.
Mr Somerville believes there’s
a sense that a new pool on
the original site will heal the
hurt which resulted from city
council closing and subsequently
bulldozing the pool more than
a decade ago. “The original
Edgeware pool was built in
1934 after a major fundraising
drive by locals and was run by
the St Albans Swim Club, until
the city council took over its
management in 2002. The rest
they say, is history and with so
many pools in schools no longer
operating, the importance of
exercise (and access to facilities),
and the number of young people
who can’t swim, we believe the
need for this facility grows every
year,” said Mr Somerville.

Kittens keep stretch classes purring
• By Stacey Bryan
CAT RESCUE Christchurch has
teamed up with the Altitude Pole

stretch classes to the city.
The two 90min stretch
sessions sold out well in advance
due to the promise of cuddles
with rescued kittens during the
class.

the fundraiser was intended to be
a one-off, but a second class was

added to cope with the hugely
positive response from the public.
“Everyone was basically just in
awe,” she said.
Miss Andersen, who lives in
Parklands, said it was great to be
able to do something good for
the kittens, as well as the class
participants.
As a non-profit organisation,
CRC uses its fundraised money
to pay for the medical bills of the
cats it rescues.
CRC volunteer Michelle Fitz
Patrick said because the organisation
does not have a centre, there
is normally nowhere for people to
go and see the cats available for
adoption.
“This brings them all out for
people to actually see . . . and they
are all on Trade Me waiting to be
adopted”
The first two classes raised
$800 for CRC and inspired
several people to sign up as volunteers.
Miss Andersen said the classes
also resulted in two kittens being
adopted. She said as a cat lover, it
was difficult to resist taking one
home.
She thinks there will be a
demand for more kitten stretch
classes in the future, but it would
involve a lot of organisation to fit
them around the studio’s already
full schedule.

A Hundred
Stories of Hope
and Healing
A one night only event in Christchurch
In May 2009, nationally acclaimed interior designer Hayley Brown was
diagnosed with breast cancer. She quit her career of 25 years to find some
solution that didn’t include chemo, radiation or surgery. Together with her
partner, nutritionist and high performance coach Todd Balfour, she travelled
the world looking for better ways of dealing with cancer.
Journeying through Australia, Bali, Spain and finally landing in the USA. Hayley
had Hyperthermia in LA for just 14 weeks and her 5cm tumour disintegrated
completely. She was cleared of cancer using a PET scan in July 2010.
In May 2013 the cancer came back with a vengeance, chances of survival
looked slim. Over the duration of her illness, Hayley lost everything, her health,
her home, her career - all her money had been used up in the fight to stay
alive. She was now dying and in debt. “I was given a round of chemo to subdue
the tumour that had grown out through my skin. I never had any surgery - it
was potentially life threatening so I turned it down. I was discharged and the
oncologist said that she would ‘manage me forward’ (till I died).”
“But I wasn’t thinking about dying, I was thinking about living and wanting to
help others…” In 2014, despite apparently having limited time, Hayley and Todd
began a new venture called “Health Evolution” on the Kāpiti Coast.
“Not knowing how long I was going to be around, I took on a month-to-month
lease in a commercial building. That was five years ago. To the amazement of
oncology, and the landlord, I am still alive and my cancer is in remission.”
So what happened? What changed the game?
At Heath Evolution, Hayley and Todd offer Pulsed Electromagnetic field therapy
(PEMF) and mild Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy (HBOT) treatments based on
cutting-edge German protocols.
Both modalities have far-reaching implications for physical and neurological
rehabilitation. PEMF and HBOT work by taking advantage of the welldocumented
effects of electromagnetic fields and the power of oxygen
combined with pressure on cellular function and metabolism.
From tiny babies to senior citizens, we have witnessed remarkable turnarounds

Clark eyes up water polo champs in Hungary
SPORTS
• By Jacob Page
CHRIST’S COLLEGE water
polo exponent Louis Clark
has been selected in the New
Zealand team for the youth world
championships in Hungary in
August.
The 16-year-old from Fendalton
impressed selectors at a national
selection camp in Auckland three
weeks ago.
“It was a new environment for
me, those trials, and I was a little
nervous to start with, but I felt
better the longer it went and to be
selected is such a huge honour,”
he said.
Clark said he followed his older
brother into the sport at the start
of high school and has loved it
ever since.
“I’ve always loved being physical
in sports and water polo is like
rugby in water,” he said.
Clark also splits his time
between competitive swimming
and surf lifesaving at the Taylor’s
Mistake club.
Between his three sporting
ambitions, he has 12 regular trainings
a week which doesn’t leave
room for much else.
He said being able to have the
right balance between power and
agility was crucial for water polo.
While Europe tends to dominate
the scene, Clark said he and
the rest of the New Zealand
team are eager to test themselves
against the world’s best.
“It will be good to see where we
are at and test ourselves against
the best of what is out there,” he
said.

The story behind Papanui’s Rayburn Ave
Papanui Heritage Group
chairman Murray Williams
writes about Rayburn Ave
RAYBURN AVE, formerly
called Ingmire St, runs parallel
to Papanui Rd between Paparoa
St and Grants Rd. The street
occupies an area originally
carved out of rural sections 302
and 307.
In 1913, 11 sections in a new
housing development on Ingmire
St were advertised in The Press. It
was claimed that it was ‘the last
block of land suitable for subdivision
in the locality’ and that the
new street was ‘properly made
with concrete channelling and
asphalt pavements.’
Perhaps the four years of war
slowed building development,
as in 1920 there were still building
lots available in this street,
but the coming decade saw a
boom in the construction of new
housing in south Papanui and
Ingmire St was no exception.
The Californian bungalow,
characterised by street-facing
double gables complemented
with shingles, dominated in the
1920s, while in the next decade
the elegant English bungalow
HISTORY: A 1920s Californian bungalow on Rayburn Ave.
with its hipped roof and more
complex window joinery was
popular. After the war, the more
basic bungalow, developed by
Paramount Homes, made an
appearance at the north-eastern
end of the street.
It is possible that a change in
the name of the street had added
to its popularity as the northern
end of Ingmire St had been notoriously
swampy and, although
drained before subdivision, its
name had done little to inspire
confidence in potential residents.
In 1926, the street became Rayburn
Ave, although in 1932 an
article in The Press noted the apparent
anomaly that the avenue
was treeless. It is not clear when
the planting occurred; unlike
neighbouring Perry and Dormer
St, Rayburn Ave was not a designated
memorial street, a status
which attracted kerb side planting
after World War 2. The introduction
of street-side trees to
Rayburn Ave must have occurred
between 1932 and 1943, the latter
the date of a city council minute
scheduling future tree planting
in south Papanui streets where, it
was noted, that ‘Rayburn Ave had
already been done’.
Today, Rayburn Ave is a pleasant
and popular residential street.
Many of the original houses have
been modified but most of these
enhancements have been sensitively
designed and the street has
maintained much of its original
character.
In 2016, Rayburn Ave was one
of several in this neighbourhood
to face the threat of reclassification
to permit more intensive
housing development.
Eventually an independent
hearing panel ruled against this
application and hopefully the
street will be able to retain its
distinctive charm based on the
well preserved timber bungalows
that characterised the inter-war
period.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Supporting Your
Bowel & Digestive
Function Helps
Prevent Disease
It is most important to keep the whole
digestive & elimination systems of the
body working efficiently. Otherwise toxins
that have not been eliminated set the stage
for disease. Many diseases have been linked
with micro-organisms (virus) or a bacterial
component. Generally these microorganisms
or bacteria can only survive
due to the fact that the environment they
are in is suitable for their survival. Non
eliminated toxins are probably one of the
main causative factors for their survival.
We know that when the digestive system
& bowel function are poor we have many
more health problems. These include
arthritis, digestive problems like reflux &
stomach pain, bladder infections, chronic
skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis &
rashes, poor eyesight, pain & inflammation,
tumors & a weakened immune system just
to name a few.
Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a
highly effective blend of natural herbs to
support the whole digestive system & it is
especially effective at cleansing the lower
bowel & intestinal tract. It is commonly
used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,
digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds &
influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout, skin
conditions like eczema & psoriasis, urinary
infections, liver dysfunction, Candida,
weakened immune function & for people
who want to keep their health as good as
possible.
The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the
production of digestive fluids & bile for
efficient digestion. This alone may help
prevent many diseases as a properly working
digestive system will itself neutralise many
disease causing organisms before they
have a chance to cause any problems. LBS
II also stimulates peristaltic action of the
colon effectively cleansing the colon of any
accumulated build-ups of waste material. It
also relaxes abdominal cramping & spasms,
enhances liver function, purifies the blood,
neutralizes acidic conditions, helps destroy
intestinal parasites & worms, & fights
infection.
Keeping your digestive system & bowels
functioning efficiently is definitely &
important step in obtaining & maintaining
good long term health.

1 in 2 people
deficient in B12
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults
& as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.
Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most
deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass & the lowest
scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration &
brain performance. Another study showed that older people with
higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains &
score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet
another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation
slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage & declining cognitive
function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health,
regulation of mood & sleep cycles, nerve health & repair, &
prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor
that is known to cause damage & plaque in the blood vessels. It can
also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a
34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+
who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk
of hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s
ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system
becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication & other drugs
further reduce B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in
the form of Methylcobalamin
sublingual tablets that are
dissolved in the
mouth & thru
bypassing the
digestive tract have
been shown to
effectively raise B12
levels in the body.

BRAIN FOG, FORGETFUL, FEELING OLD, LOW ENERGY, MOOD SWINGS,
DIFFICULTY SLEEPING, PINS & NEEDLES, NUMBNESS IN LEGS
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.
Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain
shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,
eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.

from this exercise program that it has
now grown from one weekly class to four
weekly classes. New classes have also been
added to be effective for those who have
suffered from Osteoporosis, Intermittent
Claudication, and Diabetes. On top of
that they also run four weekly classes
for seniors. These weekly rehabilitation
and injury prevention classes can lead to
continued gym membership at a reduced
cost. Participants may also be eligible for
a WINZ subsidy to pay for the continued
gym membership with their super

Fresh air
in your home
Get the right
choice for winter
All houses require air exchange in order
to stay fresh and dry. No one likes to live
in a stuffy, smelly, damp home. Indoor air
quality is important for the health of the
occupants. Houses can have many sources of
contaminants, such as bathrooms, kitchens,
pets, smokers, and even furnishings. Opening
the windows can refresh the air, but is not
always an option for security reasons and can
also lead to heat energy being lost to outside.
Although older houses have small gaps
around windows and doors, you want to be
able to control the flow of air. You don’t want
air coming in to the bathroom or kitchen and
pushing the soiled air around the house. It
is better to expel the air out of kitchens and
bathrooms to outside. This will draw air in
from the rest of the house to replace the air that
has been removed.
Modern houses are very airtight and
theoretically require a source of incoming air
to allow kitchen and bathroom extraction to
work optimally. Ventilation systems should be
low air velocity and low air pressure so as not
to cause draughts.
There are two main types of ventilation
system: Positive pressure and Balanced
pressure. Positive pressure systems, such as the
Dry-Matic, bring filtered, warmed attic air into
the house, which then percolates through the
rooms, pushing the damper stale air out.
Balanced pressure systems bring in a
similar amount of air to the amount they
exhaust. Balanced pressure systems with Heat
Exchange, such as the HEX390, use the heat
of the outgoing air to warm the incoming
air from outside. These are the most energy
efficient systems available, as they recover up
to 80% of the energy in the air, rather than
losing it to outside. Heat exchangers work just
as well cooling incoming air when the house is
cooled in summer.
The NZ building code has recommended
air exchange rates for houses. To ascertain
the required airflow for your home, please
contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH
(0800 766 684), who will also be able to
recommend a solution if your ventilation
doesn’t yet meet the New Zealand standard.
Every year around about
now people start to plan
ahead for their winter
heating needs. High on
most people’s ‘must have’
list is a Heat Pump. They
have naturally become
extremely popular because
of their cheap heat and
“touch of a button”
convenience.
Heat pumps are
however a significant,
long term investment, so
it’s important to make the
right choice.
New Zealand properties tend to be of
unique design and have many features that
greatly affect their heating requirements.
Factors such as location, orientation to
the sun, room volume, heat loss surface
area, and room air flow characteristics, etc.
all play a major role. This means that the
heat pump that is right for your friend or
neighbour is not necessarily right for you.
Add to that the fact that all manufacturers
claim to have the best, quietest, most energy
efficient, and have a multitude of constantly
updating models; finding out which heat
pump is best is not so straightforward.
Getting the right heat pump for your
home is a combination of accurate
calculation of the space to be heated, taking
into account all property characteristic,
plus an up to date knowledge of the
performance specifications of all makes
and models available.
This is where the local company Heat
Pump Guys can help. They are fully
independent heat pump specialists, and are
accredited agents for all top brands. They
offer an obligation-free home survey and
completely unbiased advice on which heat
pump is best for you.
So if you are considering getting a
heat pump this year, give them a call on

HOME & HEATING
Choosing the right heat
pump for your home
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,
most homes include at least one heat pump,
if not a whole heating solution. They can
provide cheap, clean heat and are much
more convenient than a log burner as you
just need to press a button. But how do you
decide what is best? Choosing the right
sized heat pump is key to ensuring optimum
comfort levels. Every situation varies and
it is therefore important to get professional
advice from heat pump experts.
The range varies from wall mounted high
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted
central heating systems allowing you to have
a very discreet way of heating your whole
home to a constant temperature
throughout.
Firstly, you must select a heat
pump that is suitable for the size
of the space you wish to heat.
Usually a site visit is the best
way to ascertain this. Not only
is the size of the area taken into
consideration but also, insulation,
building orientation, windows
and ceiling space. There are a wide
range of heat pumps available
with different heating outputs
so it is important to select the
correct size for your requirements
that will handle the job but not be
unnecessarily overpowered.
Secondly, the location of your heat
pump is also extremely important. The
cheapest installation is a back to back where
the outdoor unit is positioned directly
behind the indoor unit however this is
not necessarily always the best option. It is
vital that the indoor unit is positioned in a
place that will not be constantly blowing on
you. Also important, is the location of the
outdoor unit. Most people do not want their
outdoor unit sitting directly in their outdoor
entertaining area or right outside their
bedroom window.
Choose a brand you can trust. Many
brands have come and gone over the years
but there are a number of manufacturers
who provide reputable and reliable products.
All brands vary in their energy efficiency,
quietness of systems and price, so it depends
on your application as to which will be most
suitable. Major brands such as Panasonic,
Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and
Hitachi are all reliable brands backed up by
good technical after sales service.
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an
accredited installer. This will not only ensure
correct installation of your heat pump, but
also validate the manufacturers warranty.
Other things to consider when choosing
a heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of
the remote controllers, air filtration and also
wifi capabilities.
Heating is a major investment
in your home and it is vital to get
the right advice.

in the supply, installation and
servicing of all major brands
of heat pumps. Our salesmen

quality, unbiased advice as to

application the best. Enviro

Winter is upon us and we have many buyers looking
for their next home. If you are thinking of selling this
year, now is the time to do it.
There is a very short supply of homes on the market
at present which means buyers have very little options
to choose from.
Kathryn and I believe that the time is right to market
and sell your home. We would welcome a call from you
to discuss selling your home, we may just have a buyer!

Buy ONE or buy TWO...
1007A and 1007B Colombo Street, St Albans - Auction Wednesday 4th July 2018 (Unless Sold Prior) - Listing Numbers: ST7411 & ST7412
2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 1 car-garage | 1 off-street park
Yes that’s right this is an exceptional opportunity for individual buyers, those looking to
get on the property ladder or an investment. This proposal sits in a popular location that
has seen significant regeneration in recent years due to the excitement of its proximity
to the CBD and a gentle stroll to Edgeware Village. Both homes offer street frontage
and presented in low-maintenance brick for ease of mind. Renovated throughout while
injecting a contemporary flare, including retro glazing. A sun drenched open plan living,
well-appointed kitchen and bathroom and two double bedrooms. A private and secure
courtyard, single garage with off street parking adds to the appeal. With zoning for
several sought after schools (including St Albans Primary, Heaton Intermediate, CGHS
and CBHS), represents excellent value for money. Don’t miss this opportunity to secure
your own slice of the city fringe our owners are focused on a sale and the properties are
to be auctioned separately - hence this should be your call to action.
Client Testimonials
In May 2018 I decided to sell my property at 165 Westminster Street. Although I knew
a number of real estate sales people (including friends) I decided to place my property
with Peter Hampton from the St Albans office of Harcourts. I made this decision based
on a number of factors. Firstly I researched Peters track record and found he was an
achiever and was a proven professional person in all respects, secondly he worked
and seemed to specialise in the area, thirdly he worked in conjunction with his partner,
Katherine, which gave further impetus to the whole process.
I certainly made the right decision. We achieved a most satisfactory sale, the
communication between ourselves and Peter (and Katherine) was excellent and
everything went really well.
Above all these things, Peters enthusiasm and dedication to extract a successful sale was
catching... on the tail of his attitude we all got fired up! And were carried along with “the
ensuing real estate ride.”
Thanks Peter & Katherine...Thanks Harcourts!!
Nigel Keeley
Peter and Kathryn both have a passion for property that’s obvious when you first meet
them. Their enthusiastic approach and ability to see each property’s individual potential
makes them a great team when it comes to selling your property.

Wikipedia search ‘The Hamptons’ and you will discover pages about a group of villages
and hamlets in Long Island, New York that form a popular seaside resort and one of the
historical summer colonies of the northeastern United States: a community-oriented
dwelling place for affluent families originally descended from salt-of-the-earth, potato
farming community stock.
Google search The Hamptons in Christchurch and you will come across a few parallel
observations. A husband and wife team with a passion for Canterbury homes, villages
and hamlets, dedicated to helping sometimes affluent and always salt-of-the-earth
families in their quest to find community-oriented dwelling places.
But let’s cut the sales flannel because that’s definitely not how Kathryn and Peter roll.
On the contrary, if you’re looking for sound, well-researched property advice, without
the hype then look no further. My family and I relocated here from Australia with no
prior knowledge of the various neighbourhoods and an innate fear of buying a property
on ground that might be susceptible to movement. The Hamptons proved to be our
salvation….careful, considered and coherent counsel, always with a smile and delivered
with a can-do approach to bespoke house viewing times and wine-inspired strategy
sessions.
The net outcome: we moved into our beautiful new family house in Strowan a few
months ago and what we owe the bank pales in comparison to our debt of gratitude to
Pete and Kathryn for helping us to find our dream home. I would be more than happy to
hear from you if you need any more convincing of why to consider the Hamptons when
thinking of buying or selling a property.

he first time I woke up with a cold nose in my brand
new home, I was shocked. How could this be? The
cool, calm, collected one and I had planned for our
home to be well insulated against Canterbury’s
cold winters. Turns out, not well enough. We’d
even assured a well-meaning friend we had ample
insulation (yes, Duncan, you were right). I’ve worked out where we
fell short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected
Christchurch architect the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little
Port Hills site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley.
Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bought them and
employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living at the time, to
prepare the construction drawings and specifications. Compared to
Australia, the R values for insulation would have looked high. Our
talented young builder, Sam McCarthy, would never have queried
the levels because they were standard practice around town. So it
wasn’t until we were living in the house and I consulted Council’s
eco design advisor Julie Villard about how we could warm it up that
we discovered, while we unwittingly thought we had exceeded New
Zealand standard, we had merely met Code. And that ain’t going to
cut it in our climate.
Fortunately Julie had plenty of ideas on how we could improve
the situation and we have easy access to our underfloor to top-up
the insulation. Julie Villard, an architect from France, is on a mission
to transform building best practice here and you can read about the
groundbreaking ideas she’s applied to her own brand new build on
page 20.
I’ve shared the highs and lows of building with the other home
builders and renovators I interviewed and, like Diane (page 36), would
relish doing it again. I was struck by how all the home owners said
what they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to
“really listen” to their wants and needs. I was also impressed by how
much Christchurch people love a good garage! We’ve got some ideas
for some top of their class cars to complement yours on page 81 and
how to quickly establish a lawn on page 72.
We review all the latest trends in everyone’s favourite room –
the kitchen (page 48), and share an easy yet impressive recipe for
entertaining friends in your fabulous new home on page 77.
I hope Peter Beaven would be pleased with how the cool, calm,
collected one and I realised his dream. Go chase yours people!
Speaking to the NZ Institute of Architects about ‘bespoke
architecture’ being a ‘minority pursuit’ not long before his death
Peter said “I am going to try to prove that it’s possible to build
modestly and cheaply with a little house for ourselves. It’s going to
be sustainable and it’s going to be beautiful and it’s going to be just
cheap – no more than an ordinary spec house. I’ll prove that it can
be done, and it might be the last thing I prove.”
