Quirky, unique, and like stepping into a piece of art Yes, it needs work - but the reward will be extraordinary If you ' ve ever dreamed of owning something truly special, something with soul, history, and serious design pedigree - this is your moment Wellington architect Ian Athfield, a true legend of New Zealand design, was best man at the wedding of the home's very first owner As his gift, he created the plans for this remarkable, character-filled property on the fringe of Whangarei - and what a gift it was Built in the 1970s, this home showcases Athfield's unmistakable style: a playful arrangement of spaces, dramatic rooflines, and a strong architectural presence that feels both artistic and timeless Solid plaster construction, beautiful slate and timber flooring, and rich textures throughout speak to an era of craftsmanship that s increasingly hard to find Decades later, it remains a striking testament to Athfield s creativity - a home that doesn't follow trends but proudly stands apart It's not perfect It needs vision, effort and a bit of love But for the buyer who understands what this is the upside is immense This is not a cookie-cutter house

HOME SELLERS GUIDE
You’ve sold your housewhat happens next?
PART 1
Your selling journey doesn’t end once you’ve accepted an offer on your home.
Diana Clement
The process isn’t over once the hammer falls or a sale price has been agreed. Welcome to the business end of selling your home, a period in which you’ll be completing paperwork in between packing up your belongings and planning your next move. Below, we’ll walk you through not only the sale process but also what comes after, including settlement.
Accepting an offer on your property
The offer process varies depending on the method of sale you use. At an auction, the highest bidder wins, providing the reserve price is reached. The ‘offer’ is unconditional. You don’t need to accept the first offer, or lower your reserve at auction, unless you choose to However, as the old adage goes, the first offer is often the best offer
For deadline sales and tenders, offers are provided in writing and you can choose which one to accept, if any
During a negotiation, the prospective buyer can make an offer and the seller can make a counter-offer This process continues until a price is met that is acceptable to both parties. Important information
• If you haven’t yet appointed a solicitor, now is the time to do it.
• Offers will usually be presented to you on a signed sale and purchase agreement already signed by the buyer
• You don’t need to accept an offer
• Whenever you are negotiating with a prospective buyer, you can counter-
offer via the real estate agent at any time to attempt to get the buyer to offer more.
• Buyers will often include a number of ‘conditions’ as part of their offer If there are conditions there will be a period of time within which they must be met. Once that date passes the contract goes “unconditional”, meaning there is no way for the buyer to back out.
• Be very careful if you receive an offer from an agent or his/her relatives. Agents are required by law to be transparent about any conflicts of interest and must provide an independent valuation at their cost.
Understanding the sale and purchase agreement
The sale and purchase agreement is a legally binding document that outlines the price and conditions of a sale. In New Zealand most agreements are based on the ADLS/REINZ Sale & Purchase of Property agreement.
Even so, there are many different clauses that can be included, which means you should always arrange for your lawyer to review the document before signing Sales by tender or auction use a different version of the ADLS/REINZ agreement.
Developers selling brand-new properties often have their own bespoke agreement. The agreement should include:
• The address of the property
• The names of the buyers and the sellers
• The sale price
• Any conditions (such as subject to finance or building report)
• What happens if conditions aren’t met
• Any chattels included in the sale
• The deposit requirements
• Dates that the agreement will go unconditional and the settlement date
• The financial penalties for failing to settle on time.
What happens after you accept an offer?
Once you agree on the price and any conditions, you sign and date the sale and

purchase agreement. Once you sign the sale and purchase agreement you can’t back out unless it relates directly to a condition in the document.
Make sure your lawyer is involved at this stage to avoid hidden surprises.
At this stage, a 10% deposit is usually paid into the real estate agent’s trust account. With a tender, however, the deposit is paid when the buyer makes an offer The deposit is returned if the tender is not successful. Sometimes buyers negotiate a lower deposit such as 5% or a later date for payment. Even during an auction buyers can seek a “variation” for a lower deposit than the usual 10%.
After the sale and purchase agreement is signed and dated by both parties, there is a period of time (such as six weeks) from “exchange” (of contract) until “settlement” Settlement is the day the sale goes through and you receive your money
A lot goes on during the settlement period.
