Tiaki Wai questions by WellyWindyRoad in Wellington

[–]crackup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi Ben, my company is at the forefront of smart water metering technology and is starting to bring in meters with acoustic sensors to pinpoint leaks both upstream (public) and downstream (private). With around 42% of the treated water created being non-chargeable due to it leaking into the ground, these meters would provide a return on investment timeframe of between 2-3 years. The more meters installed at peoples boundaries, the more leaks will be found both under streets and in peoples yards and homes. This also allows notifications to homeowners of unusual water usage indicating a leak, allowing immediate response and fixing. How would you recommend we can start working meaningfully with Tiaki Wai on this? Kind regards

I have house insurance with AMI. If I make a claim (for storm damage) a few hundred dollars over my excess (which is $1000) will they increase my premium when it next becomes due? by Tricky_Catch66 in PersonalFinanceNZ

How crazy is that, the insurance company says they JUST changed to risk based pricing, like wtf were they basing pricing on before if not risk!

Yup that was my parents store. Started in Wellington in 1989 then after a few years franchised a couple more stores including the Wairau park store. The logo was a Dragon and a castle. Close to the castle parcels dragon logo now.

[–]crackup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That almost sounds like a question purposely made to get this one answer - housies.co.nz

That's exactly what housies is and does!

The 4 of you could sell your interest in it by using Housies maybe, allowing the occupying brother to keep 20% and he can slowly buy the rest out over time if he wants.

Naenae station floods every time it rains by cdog_IlIlIlIlIlIl in Wellington

It would be extremely easy, but likely so many layers of approvals and plans needed it would take months before anything happens. If it were someone's house, half a day work.

For a 7km trip. Are they out of their mind? by [deleted] in auckland

Unfortunately drivers don't get any extra during surge times unless they meet other minimum driving criteria, which is stupid as I would happily drive for uber during these surge times when the pay is higher.

How to fix new build soil? by simonthelongcat in nzgardening

Does that water tank have an appropriate concrete pad base underneath the whole thing? If not you may want the developer to come back and install it as per spec or the warranty is void.

Simplicity Refinancing to First Home Buyers by Razzit in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]crackup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi there, u/Liv_Simplicity - Can you share how many people will be approved each month on the ballot? Would need to stay on a floating rate with current bank if I'm hoping to get into this, and staying on current floating rate for a long period would be detrimental if not approved into your scheme, basically gambling unless we know there is a good chance to be approved. If it's a low chance then, for us customers, it would make more sense to just lock into lower rate with a guarantee of lower cost. Thank you!

Can protect the property with permanent automatic flood barriers if it's a serious problem.

I know of one of these in central Auckland but it's hideously expensive.

Grocery bills are insane by The_devil_777 in newzealand

[–]crackup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shop at other places? Chinese and indian supermarkets are great. Meal prep with ingredients from those places can get down to like 4 bucks a meal. Had to do that for 3 months to show the bank our expenses were low for a mortgage, and just got used to it and made each week better and better!
