8 Thursday September 23 2021 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NOR’WEST NEWS RAY WHITE PAPANUI NEWS The Power of Auctions Onsite Auctions The traditional auction method, usually conducted outside the property with bidders in attendance along with neighbours and bystanders. These onlookers increase the attendance size and therefore add to the feeling of competition for the registered bidders. The fact bidders are making offers outside their possible future home can make buyers bid emotionally. This type of auction, with the right auctioneer, can add a touch of theatre to the auction process. In-room Auctions This type of auction will usually be held in an office, auction house, hotel or other large space and will normally have several properties going under the hammer over a short period of time. This type of event allows us to control factors that we otherwise couldn’t such as weather, noisy neighbours, traffic etc. It gives the bidders an increased feeling of competition as there will be many registered bidders spread over properties, thereby giving perceived extra competition. Online Auctions Born out of necessity, this method offers an online solution allowing bidders to purchase from the comfort of their own homes. It also allows buyers from interstate/overseas to bid. Since the full-time introduction of online auctions throughout the COVID-19 restrictions, bidder numbers have increased dramatically. Online auctions can be offered either as a stand-alone product or to complement the on-site and in-room auctions allowing bidders the option to attend the home or venue or bid from a laptop or other device. There are several options for online auctions such as BidTracker, Gavl and Auction Now.

I continue to see a massive misunderstanding of what notice period is required for what reason amongst landlords out there and it has not of course been made any easier by introducing new legislation while a lot of people are still working through understanding the timelines for Healthy Homes standards. So, let’s talk about the Healthy Homes key dates this week. All periodic tenancies dated prior to 1st December 2020 will have until 1st July 2024 to comply with the Healthy Homes standards, including not having to supply a Healthy Homes Statement. Any periodic tenancy prior to 1st July 2021 which may be extended for any lesser period than the original period, so a 12 month fixed term that is extended for 11 months, will not be required to comply, or have a Healthy Homes Statement. Also, any Government housing is not required to comply until 1st July 2024. Any periodic tenancy dated after 1st December 2020 does require a Healthy Homes Statement and has 90 days from the commencement of the tenancy to comply with the Healthy Homes Standards. Any fixed term tenancy from 1st July 2021, or any variation to a fixed-term tenancy after 1st July 2021, must include a Healthy Homes Statement and again, has 90 days to comply with the standards. So, this means that even though the original date of a fixed-term may have commenced 1st January 2021, upon renewal of this tenancy for another 12 months in January 2022 the property will have to have a Healthy Homes report completed and also comply within 90 days. And lastly, if a fixed-term tenancy rolls into a periodic tenancy any time from 1st July 2021, this will also need the statement and have 90 days to comply. My advice is to plan ahead. If you have a fixed-term tenancy that is due to end soon you need to ensure you have the Healthy Homes report ready so you can provide a copy to the existing tenant, or have it ready for any new tenancy agreement, and of course, if there is any work which is required to be done to comply with the Act, don’t put it off. Get the work organised now to ensure you are well and truly compliant in time to avoid any potential fines. Next time I will talk about the new notice periods under the 2020 Residential Tenancies Amendments Act.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday September 23 2021 9 Yachties tacking for competitive season • By John Cosgrove AN EASTERLY wind made racing fun at the Pleasant Point Yacht Clubs 101 st season opening held last Saturday at South Brighton. About 50 members and guests joined in the opening ceremony before 17 crews and their yachts tackled the blustery conditions in an assortment of multi-hulls, trailer and sunburst yachts. Club official Nigel Humphrey said it was a great turnout for the start of the season as the yachts took their turn at lining up for the Mark Foy handicap formatted race, whereby the slowest starts first for the hour and a half race around the estuary at South Brighton. In the multi-hull race for the Eric Orange trophy, Ian Douglas and Simon Thompson won aboard Iznerz, a Weta trimaran, from James Cains in Neva Weta, while in the Pet Cup Noémi Gulliver and Graeme Hore were first aboard Tafua (Sunburst class). In the Nina Mander trophy Dan O’Sullivan in Humbug (Firebug) was first from Arthur Mahon in Aphid (Firebug). HELPING HAND: Brigid Sheen helps Ruaraidh Forster, 14, rig their boat before heading out to tackle the course.
