To drag it back to reality...TALK TO THE NEIGHBOURS.
Our neighbours are currently out of their house - probably for a couple of months. Flooded.
They were told by the agent - yes that corner floods but the house has never been flooded. LIES
The LIM says - section subject to flooding. No record of previous evacuations.
They never asked us or AFAIK any other locals before buying.
After purchase, they flat disbelieved us....
They don't now.

True - those chairs and built in furniture he did. The difference (for me anyway) is that what I really like is the Modernist (mid century modern, Bauhaus to the 1970's kind of: basically everyone's definitions differ, and I am only an enthusiast, not professionally trained) Mackintosh was earlier and sort of grew out of that Arts and Crafts movement. Which is cool and all, and I appreciate the history, but it doesn't speak to me in the same way, and I couldnt imagine myself living in one of his houses.Originally Posted by Moi
I could move into the Oyler house tomorrow: bonus I would be sharing it with Kelly Lynch!

agree with this. Plus if the neighbours are dicks it will soon become apparent. Of course it doesnt stop the nice neighbours leaving and selling to dicks.

Embracing mediocrity
I suspect that's our neighbors view of what happened when we bought our current house.....

I'd be ecstatic if they would draw informative pictures containing small details like "sizes" and "detail view"...
Most of them make lovely looking pictures, but having the same levels of use as a cartoon. Some days you'd get better information from a Footrot Flats drawing...
Recently read a book on his life. An interesting character to be sure.
His Taliesin West is a superb creation.

Minor but semi-significant milestone - yesterday marked 6 months since I got the keys to my house.
Scheming about the next investment already...

Property Check came back with building inspection report. Amazing work. They check top to bottom and was well worth $650 for the information.
The house I'm looking at is a brand new build, only finished April this year. So I assumed everything would be "perfect" and thought of skipping building inspection. But no. Building inspector went really picky and picked up little shortcuts taken here and there and "tradie's Friday afternoon" works.
The report not only covered what's wrong but future problems and suggested ways to reduce risks and estimated maintenance cost considerations. Outstanding.
It's amazing. No wonder they are professionals.

touch them up for a price reduction? by the way do you get a MB or CB guarantee? They can be somewhat worthwhile.

Will see what I can do. Funny thing is Christchurch council has provided code of compliance to the property which the inspector thinks it's not fire compliant. Does that mean it's not as bad as it seems? Was the inspector just very picky? Dunno.
What's a MB/ CB gurantee?

...the Gib, bracing 'system', is laughable, risible to be more honest...usually the inspector signing off would be terribly anal about the bracing schedule and wouldn't let anything other than what the specs say, go... sounds like the inspector was having a 'Friday moment', himself...

It means the council certificate ( like most council documents ) isn't worth the paper its printed on. They are merely an arse-covering exercise for the building section

What would you guys do if you were me?
1. Who cares it's compliant. Just buy it.
2. Nego price down.
3. Ask the vendor to fix it.
4. Walk away.
Is the fire wall construction above mentioned like minor issues on bikes which you can live by? e.g. Awkwardly positioned handlebar mirror which shows your elbow a lot more than behind.
I know there are worse houses in NZ.
Am I thinking too much? Or is it something I should definitely be cautious of?

Eh? Friday PM means being at the pub, so there is no chance of any work being done!

If it's signed off as "compliant" (disgusting word that is over-used everywhere) that's a good start. Use the report for price haggling though.

except if you end up in litigation with them. Then its great evidence and usually what hangs them
