'Landmark' Aro Valley home on market 'as is'

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours, do you recognise this 'landmark' Aro Valley home?

Just seven months after selling for $1.51m, it's back on the market with "issues around water tightness". It's being listed "as is", with a TradeMe estimate of $1.14 million, but the agent said: "We don't know what it might fetch – the unknown is what it will take to take to fix it up."

Have you ever bought a property "as is"? Did you bag a bargain or end up with a money pit? What were the highs and lows of the process and would you do it again? Let us know in the comments below, or email homed@stuff.co.nz.
