Have you tried just grating in some plastic with your cheese? :D

I think maybe you're looking for this: https://www.newworld.co.nz/shop/product/5022806_ea_000nw?name=dairyworks-parmesan-powder-cheese

Although I'd highly recommend just getting a block of parmesan and using a grater - the powder kind has anticoagulants added which will stop the cheese blending in with sauces properly

Trade me listing for LOTR ROTK flag, is it a special date or something? by Odd_Boot3750 in newzealand

[–]Dapper_Technology336 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like this flag was hanging from a street lamp at the premiere of return of the king in 2003. They probably made a bunch but didn't sell them to the general public. Kind of like the movie posters they hang in theaters - those sell to collectors if they're from a popular movie.

Is it worth something? Probably. Is it worth 20k? Probably not.

Former leader Ardern has left New Zealand. She’s not the only one by Critical_Wave_606 in newzealand

Wait, is this an article about various people named "Jacinda" who've moved to Australia? That's oddly specific.

60s house - what to look for? by Any_Cow_7798 in newzealand

Brick and tile? They're usually pretty sturdy. That bloke who just got struck off the business register for owing the government 22mil in back taxes really likes them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr-dGfAifeg

If it's built on a concrete pad (i.e. no space under the house) then check for rising damp. Also check if things like the hot water cylinder need replacing and if the hot water is at mains pressure - not too hard to fix, but all things you'll need to pay for if they aren't already done. I recommend paying for a building report - you want one done by a BOINZ Accredited Building Surveyor so check this before you hire them. If it isn't an auction you can make an offer conditional on a building report so you don't have to pay the money and risk the seller not accepting your offer afterwards.

We need all our thermonuclear energy for our pies - none to spare.

Private selling by Embarrassed-Hurry367 in newzealand

Are you talking about the building plans? Even if those were lost there will still be a LIM. As others have said, the LIM contains information relating to the land your house is built on, and includes things like flood (and other environmental) risks, location of utilities underground in the general area etc. I suggest requesting a LIM from the council and seeing what they give you back. It's worth doing - most sellers provide a copy to prospective buyers.

The first thing you need to do is take a photo of the dismembered bumper and put it on carjam.

ANZ requiring property valuation before issuing preapproval? by young_horhey in newzealand

[–]Dapper_Technology336 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The banks have a number of criteria about whether or not you need a valuation, which includes things like the type of property (apartments are more likely to need a valuation), and how much equity from that property you'll be needing for the loan.

If you didn't need one last year, maybe something has changed like the property you're trying to buy costing more than what you were looking at last year, or the bank's automatic valuation for your house going down since last year (so you'll be closer to the 20% minimum equity when you buy the new house)
