NEWSFLASH October 27, 2024:

 



 ElevatorsOtis have been monitoring the lifts 24/7, as when one is down the other can act erratically. This is because they are governed by the same electrical system.  Meantime, do try to remember these three tips:

 

·       Do not jab the buttons – one long press works best.

·       Do not overload the lift.

·       Carry your phone, just in case.

 

Fire Safety. Sometime in the next week or so we will be visited by husky fire fighters on a mission.  The Thorndon Fire Brigade want to practise on a tall building that is readily available, and Herbert Gardens is perfect for that.  So a very interesting team exercise is planned, with ladders, hoses, the lot.

 

Vale.  An agent of this development company was interviewed by two of our directors. A long and informative meeting, but the message was essentially the same.  They are keen on acquiring Herbert Gardens, as their aim is to take advantage of “sought-after locations” and this building fits that bill. Like us, they understand that once the earthquake prone notice is removed, the value of the apartments will return to their previous commercial level.  The amount they offer will be their estimate of the current commercial asking 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 at a very good profit.
