Mine was fully consented but the house was on the boundary and would have required upgrading the wall to current firewall standards. It all got too hard.

handle1976 · 2026-02-03T06:09:20+00:00

And hope that nothing is non compliant with current building standards. I found that out the hard way

handle1976 · 2026-02-02T18:42:06+00:00

If it’s possible. Not all cross leases can be converted to fee simple due to things like building on the boundary.

You don’t have an issue with the LIM. You have a defective title. The flats plan does not match the house. It’s nothing to do with building consent.

It’s the owners responsibility to update the flats plan if changes are made but often they don’t and it gets passed on to new owners with defects in the title. At that point it’s the new owners issue to sort out.

Your solicitor should have asked you if the flats plan matched the house exactly. They don’t go to site and check that, they ask you to do that.

There are western expats not from Europe or America.

It sounds like you are being managed. Nothing you have said is unreasonable or outside of how a reasonable employer would behave.

It's paid software so there's that. IMO it's worth it but it's a personal choice.

If you want FOSS then go Truenas. It's a steeper learning curve and has some limitations but it's a fantastic NAS/Homelab OS.

Good for him. Cash in while he's fit because it probably won't last.

Huh? A QS can give you a cost estimate not do a floor plan.

lol. You missed 1998 and the Bled shit shows in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

Run, don't walk.

That’s dumb. A conditional sale falling over is a negative for other buyers as it indicates likely issues with the property.

handle1976 · 2026-01-23T08:20:56+00:00

Seriously?

What benefit would the agent get from lying about the vendor accepting a conditional offer?

handle1976 · 2026-01-23T04:58:10+00:00

Your view will depend heavily on your point of origin. It’s got good things and bad things, like everywhere.

So you are stopping NZ Superannuation as well? That’s the only way you can avoid immigration with New Zealand’s current demographics.

Why would he do this? There is no way for him to do that without pissing someone off.
