    Didn’t take a genius to see that one coming. The renters can thank the Labour Party for that.

    Funny you don't hear any but National's from berk. Hard to defend these dummies...

    Just the difference between a floating rate or a fixed rate can be the difference between sink or swim.
    I had a tenant who wanted a heat pump installed, as one of the several electric space heaters had shat itself. She'd read that heat pumps were much cheaper to run and thought that made it an obviously beneficial choice for me. I pointed out that the installed cost was approximately the same as the savings from the increased efficiency. She wasn't paying for the installation though, and no matter how I tried I simply couldn't get her to understand that I would be substantially worse off. Lovely girl, just couldn't see past the 75% savings to her heating costs, completely unable to comprehend any other point of view.

    The main center rents have gone down or stayed the same, you clearly never said that would happen. So what gives why did you not predict that would happen, you said the reverse would occur.
    Did any of you guys actually read past past the first paragraph. before slapping each other on tha backs?
    The rents have also not gone up as much as under the last government for the same time period overall, You never said that as well?

    "While rents rocketed in the provinces, the main centres were steady. The median weekly rent in Auckland has remained at $560 per week for most of the year and rents in Canterbury appear to be experiencing a similar trend, hovering around the $400 mark since September last year. After a red hot summer rents in Wellington have cooled, falling $25 on January's high to $525 per week in May," he said.
    I expect more from you........

    For the landlord, are the costs of supply and installation not a tax-deductible expense?
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Yes, but so is the cost of a $100 wall mounted electric heater. And even if the govt decide to subsidise heat pumps for investment properties they'll still be thousands of dollars more expensive. For some properties I'd still buy one, the market for a modern inner city townhouse would more or less expect one and the revenue would support the extra cost.

    Didn't need to read past the headline really: Trade Me reports 'uncommon' rent rise

    Maybe an in depth reading will reveal you're right, and rents are plummeting....

    Every region in New Zealand had higher rental asking prices in May than they did a year before, Trade Me's latest data shows.

    It has released its May Rental Price Index, which shows the three largest cities had significant rent price growth and eight regions had strong double-digit increases.

    Five parts of the country - Southland, Taranaki, Northland, Otago and the West Coast - hit new records.

    "It's very uncommon for us to see year-on-year rental price growth in every region, particularly at this time of year when we would expect the rental market to cool," said Trade Me Head of Property Nigel Jeffries.
    No? Well fuck me it looks like h'berg is reinterpreting the world with his red coloured crayons again.

    You clearly didnt, the lot of you.
    you use an example of the 5 least populated provenances of NZ but ignore the majority
    only 30,000 people live on the West coast
    The coast probably has a much higher percentage of ownership as well but dont tlet that get in the way of a good diversion

    How many million in CHCH Auckland an wellington
    I guess those cities with the MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION OF NZ just aren't signification when it suits you

    Yes but your deduction (money off your tax) is only about $1 for every $4 you spend.
    Spending money to save on your tax doesn't work.

    Wow you just rewrote our tax code from america
    Maybe you dont understand but we pay tax on net profit not gross profit here in NZ but claim on deductions against it first.
    also our tax is more like 1 in three.
    You also just rewrote how NZ investors use property to avoid income tax as there is no Capitial gains tax on property.
    NZ is a place Where spending money as investyments in property to save on your taxes clearly does work.

    Speaking of which America has a CGT and you always go on about how great america is so does that mean CGT are great.

    If you cant argue the points where i have shown you to be very clearly wrong.
    I would suggest you just stick to american politics ,where its already dumbed down to the lowest common denominator (Ie the american voter)
