4 Thursday April 6 2023 Ray White Bishopdale PROUDLY LOCAL Healthy Homes... Is yours compliant? The Healthy Homes standards set out specific and minimum standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage, and draught stopping in rental properties. The standards are designed to provide warmer drier & therefore healthier homes for tenants in New Zealand. Healthy Home FAQ’s: My house is new so will it be compliant? - Not necessarily, it is not uncommon in new build homes to come up short of the heating standard as the open plan layout of most new homes increases the area the heating has to be able to cover. Does the property have to be up to standard before I can rent it? - No, for a new tenancy you have 120 days from the start of the tenancy to make the property compliant. How will anyone know if the property is compliant or not - A Healthy Homes statement must accompany all Tenancy Agreement. Can I conduct my own Healthy Homes Assessment - Yes but be careful as if you don’t get it right you can be fined up to $900.00 for providing a false or misleading statement. What if I don’t get the property up to Standard? - If the property is not brought up to standard within the 120 days a fine of up to $7,200.00 can be imposed. What if I just don’t provide a Healthy Homes Statement? - Another bad idea, a fine of up to $4,000.00 can be imposed for not providing a Healthy Homes statement.

Thursday April 6 2023 5 CHRIST’S COLLEGE students have slept outside on the quad to highlight the issue of homelessness in the city, along with raising nearly $4000 for the City Mission. Organised by Christ’s College head of service Elliott Grey and head of boarding Lachie Short, the overnight sleep-out provided the boys with a taste of the reality of being homeless. A City Mission representative spoke about life on the streets during assembly in the lead-up to the weekend sleep-out, while an outreach worker visited the boys on the night to share his experiences of working to support those in need. The boys were also joined on the quad by executive principal Garth Wynne and teacher Graeme Swanson. “Twenty-five students gathered on the quad to sow the seeds of a new service tradition – Sleepout for Homelessness,” said Grey and Short. “Raising just under $4000 for the City Mission, the simple goal of the event was to raise awareness and funds for the incredible efforts of the mission to support the homeless across Ōtautahi Christchurch. FUNDRAISER: Christ’s College students spent the night on the quad to highlight homelessness and raise money for the City Mission. Sleeping rough raises $4k for City Mission “After mobile phones had been handed in, students were armed with nothing but warm clothes, a sleeping bag, and a tarpaulin, to strip away any contact with the outside world. “It was quickly made apparent that it was a rare but beneficial detox from the loud and busy digital world that surrounds us, with some initially finding it difficult to adjust.” With little sleep because of the cool temperatures and the lack of a pillow, the sleep-out provided a new perspective on homelessness for all the boys. Phenomenal sale talk of the town • From page 1 The sale price is also significantly higher than Avonhead’s average property value, which the latest OneRoof house price figures have at $787,000, down 4.4 per cent on the same time last year. The Westall Lane home, which sits on a 1500sqm section and has an RV of $1.38m, was unique for the area and 72 groups visited the open homes, including families from around the city, emptynesters and out-of-towners. “It was a really lovely home, very flexible floor plan, private land – big section. People thought it was a great house. We had such great feedback about it.” Heazlewood said the same property in one of Christchurch’s more high-end suburbs such as Fendalton would be worth $3.5m. “So, I suppose that’s the real value for money, but for the area of Avonhead it’s a phenomenal sale – a lot of people have been talking about it over the last week.” Heazlewood said there seems to be increasing demand for good homes in Avonhead as a property at 24 Felstead Pl, which is in a much lower price range than the Westall Lane home, has also been getting a lot of attention. “I can’t put my finger on what the major change is – that was a good house and drew people into the market, but even Felstead Pl has had better numbers than we are used to seeing at the moment. “There’s definitely general buyer demand but no one specifically saying why.” Harcourts salesperson Zani Polson said the homes that seem to be in demand in Avonhead were those that Zani Polson were well-presented and move-in ready. She just sold a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home on Algie Pl in Avonhead at auction last week for $975,000 with 48 groups viewing it. “It is a nice family-friendly area that has always held its values well.” It was also zoned for good primary schools and the majority of Avonhead was zoned for Burnside High as well, she said. The close proximity to the airport also helped. “A lot of families move in and they just stay there because they can and a lot of the houses are quite substantial so you get some good longevity out of the homes.” Fall in love before with your favourite furniture all over again! • Recover your chairs and couches and save money! • Excellent range of fabrics • Quality workmanship guaranteed • Free quotes available • Over 30 years experience Somerfield Upholstery welcome you to email a photo for a quote online: somerfielduph@gmail.com after Somerfield Upholstery Ltd FURNITURE RECOVERY SPECIALIST 6/47 Sonter Road, Wigram | Ph 021 251 6200 | 349 0456 LIVE YOUR LIFE ON HOLIDAY 24 Cashmere View Street, Somerfield Secluded and serene, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow is hidden in plain sight and offers not just a home, but a lifestyle that defines how we live and creates an oasis in the heart of the city.
