New Rateable Valuations

Jim from JIM PETERSON of Westbay Real Estate Ltd 0800 22 00 12

The BOP Times lead article on Thurs claims "Property values leap 49%" Should have stated rateable valuations leap 49%.
Very misleading as selling values are still the same as the day before this ambiguous heading. Comparable recent sales over the last 6 mths are the best guideline, (as registered valuers use in their reports.)
Yes some homes will reach their new CV (rateable value) if selling but a high % will not.The main reason being there is no site inspection in the CV process - it is a mass computer average not allowing for the fact that each property is unique in its condition.
BOP Times very much in denial when I questioned their journalistic integrity over this article.

Shame on You!

Lisa from Otumoetai

This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
