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.

"When Mum got this cancer, and after she passed away, we really wanted to do something as a family to help fight the disease. So we started supporting the Malaghan Institute as they're doing a clinical trial, trying to find a vaccine for this form of brain cancer. A portion of Just Paterson's fee goes to them." - Marcia Paterson

Help us help victims of this cruel disease by getting behind the amazing team at the Malaghan Institute during the month of October.

Calling all Freddie Mercury/Queen fans - be one of the first to see the new Bohemian Rhapsody film with your family and friends all while supporting a fantastic cause - The Neonatal Trust Wellington.

The Neonatal Trust is a charity that provides support to families of premature or sick full term babies as they make their journey through the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Wellington Hospital, the transition home, and onwards.

About the Movie:
Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury’s lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that were always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.
