AUCTION: In Rooms, Harcourts Cooper & Co Takapuna (128 Hurstmere Rd) - Thursday 18th October 2018 at 6.30pm (unless sold prior). What we have here is an opportunity that offers a handyman a genuine sense of accomplishment as he drags this relic of this 90's into the 21st century. To be fair, said handyman needs to be aware the house does have issues, as in what's technically known as water ingress. The owners are nothing if not realistic. Further to what they are not: They are not fixer-uppers. Or for that matter property investors. In very simple terms they want the property gone - the sooner the better. Their expectations will not get in the way of a sale. The strongest bidder at the auction will own it. The brutal consequence of the recent years of galloping growth in property values is that this highly sought after area has been taken away from the grasp of many a buyer. Well, the sale of this property will give those with an inclination toward a spot of DIY the chance to get into the area at a pre-market inflation price.
