NEWSFLASH October 21, 2024:

 

Investigations and consultations. Damien, Ken, David and Joan are currently asking residents about garages, including those that are rented out.

 

This is because it looks as if the Aoraki worksite will be on the upper deck, taking up seven parking spaces and four garages.  Accordingly, we want to make sure that we are ready if that, indeed, does happen.  The owners of these four garages are being consulted about how available they could be for Aoraki use, and also to talk about alternative parking.

 

It is also very likely that the six garages below the upper ramp will be out of reach for resident vehicles, too, as the upper driveway will be Aoraki access only.  However, they can be used for storage of furniture, and can be reached by foot, via the steps, by residents who want to check their belongings.

 

As well as this, the leases for rented apartments have to be checked, as the shareholders who own them will have to be prepared to tell their tenants to vacate when the project reaches their level. Some tenants may have to remove their furniture, too.

 

Vale Property

 

Many of us have received a form letter from this Christchurch firm of developers.  When enquiries were made their representative was open and informative.

 

They are contacting all the apartment buildings in Wellington that have earthquake prone notices, taking names and addresses from the company registers.  Like us, they understand that while the apartments are very hard to sell right now, once enough strengthening has been done to have the earthquake prone notice removed, the prices will return to their previous commercial level.

 

So they will buy cheap, and then do all the work. The amount they offer will be what they reckon is a fair current price, with a discount for risk. The apartments would have to be rated as unit title (not company share, as we have now), and they would manage the strengthening.

 

Then they would sell, expecting a very good profit.
