Industry Comment

Lifestyle choices - avoid anecdotally seen many people turning to the country with lifestyle sales and values picking up over the past year. Evidence of this is seen with the Auckland housing crisis forcing buyers to seek blocks as far south as Hamilton, Wellington buyers looking to the Otaki-Levin area and closer to home a different dynamic with Christchurch earthquake refugees or recent immigrants seeking properties in North Canterbury.

If you are considering a lifestyle property then there are some points to consider.

Greg Jopson More people than ever are making or considering the move to lifestyle properties throughout New Zealand and it’s no surprise why.

For most the benefits (generating extra income, run a business from home, space for the kids to play or just enjoy the rural experience) far outweigh any negatives.

New housing pressure in many of our main urban centres has

Locally lifestyle blocks buyers were once dominated by retiring farmers or town workers looking to wind down but we are now seeing a far larger percentage of buyers fresh to the rural life. If you are considering a lifestyle property then there are some points to consider to ensure your buying experience is seamless and doesn’t put you off enjoying “The Good Life”.

MAKE A LIST

A common perception is that there is a higher turnover of lifestyle blocks compared with residential homes. This is a kind of an urban myth (Nadene Hall-NZ Lifestyle Block magazine) with an average person in town staying in a home for

Like buying a house know what you require and what you don’t.

This will allow you to identify what properties suit your purpose. If not sure, some ideas to assist your decision making is attend Open Homes/Farms, talk with lifestyle/ rural specialist salespeople and don’t be afraid to ask questions or talk to other lifestyle owners. . Do your homework thoroughly so you can target the right lifestyle property and ask the salesperson the right questions if they have not covered it

in the property information.

LOCATION

Most lifestylers continue working in town so consider the location of the property you are purchasing and ensure that the commuting time is reasonable or if new to the area it is close to employment opportunities.

Schools, zoning/bus runs, children’s sports and activities are important and need to be considered.

AMENITIES/DIFFERENCES

There are many items which differ from residential property that should be discussed and understood; Household/stock water wells or schemes, sheds, septic tank/ sewerage, rubbish collection, soil type and fertility, fencing, irrigation or in the case of bare land location of electricity and phone lines are all examples and important to know as well as the cost associated.

RESTRICTIONS

Before committing check out if there are any restrictions like easements or covenants on the property or special conditions written into the conditions. Common

the pitfalls issues are where there has been arrangements made by the vendor with neighbours like sharing water for stock or an easement for a water line or power. You need to get good advice on easements or potential limits and what restrictions or implications they present.

running livestock or different farming options and what is required to manage these e.g. cattle/sheep handling, hen house, packing sheds.

Advice if required should be sought from industry people (farmers, stock agents, transports) to assist in choosing the right options.

WORK LOAD MANAGEMENT

GST

Even 5-10 hectares can still require a lot of time to manage so there needs to be a balance against the day job, family time and the hours required to run the block, gardens etc. There are good options available to reduce the amount of hours required to manage and maintain your land. These include selling standing grass to a silage contractor or neighbouring farms, lease the paddocks for grazing e.g. sheep, cattle, horses or crop share farming.

This allows you to enjoy the rural life and generates income while letting someone else take care of the work.

Understand if the property is being sold GST inclusive or exclusive from the salesperson. Most lifestyle properties are sold GST inclusive but you need to know the tax implications if the land is part of a business which is GST registered.

P.A.

2 years

Being GST registered when buying can mean there are some benefits to be gained. In any case it is recommended that a buyer should seek professional advice to fully understand the GST position and avoid future issues when selling or if operating a business from the property.

In Mid Canterbury we currently have a great selection of lifestyle blocks or bare land from 1 to 20 hectares around Ashburton and our rural towns. Talk to us if you are interested in lifestyle property and we will set you in the right direction and ensure you avoid the pitfalls.

Gardening

Dwarfing delphiniums Beautiful and elegant, bold and statuesque, delphiniums are certainly no shrinking violets. Quite the opposite, in fact, with the flowers perfectly designed to play a leading role in your garden.

You’ll be sure to love the colours too, with the plant’s dense leaves sprouting flowers ranging from traditional blues right through to lilac, pink, yellow and white.

Not only striking, delphiniums are easy to grow, with the hardy perennials flowering from late spring to late autumn, year after year.

Tod Palenski Awapuni Nurseries

For me, the key to making your garden look visually appealing is to include plants in a range of sizes.

If you’ve already got your small plants covered and it’s height you’re after, look no further than the delphinium, which can grow to around 180cm tall.

They’re versatile too, working well in pretty, country gardens as well as modern or stately, sculptural ones (plant next to hostas, canna lilies and cardoons, and throw in some river stones for a bit of a contemporary look).

Convinced? Grab some Awapuni delphinium seedlings from your local supermarket, the Warehouse or Bunnings. Alternatively, head to our online store at www.awapuni.co.nz and get your seedlings delivered direct to your door.

When you’re ready to plant, choose a sunny, well-drained area with rich soil. Dig in a good quality

DOMESTIC INSURANCE ENQUIRIES

compost and animal manure fertiliser, or garden galore, and add plenty of mulch to stop weeds forming and retain soil moisture. I prefer a soft mulch, like pea straw, which will rot down over time and feed the soil. And if you want to deter those delphinium-hungry snails, cover the mulch with a rough bark as these little critters find it difficult to cross the bumpy terrain.

Don’t have time for a full garden makeover?

Simply plant some of our dwarf pure white delphiniums in black lacquered pots.

Reaching up to a metre tall, they’ll add drama to your outdoor table, patio or pathway.

Either way, I guarantee you’ll be reaching new gardening heights in no time.

BY TERRY LOBB

Sydney resource centre shows colour, patterns of yesteryear This week, I booked a quick visit to Sydney to visit my daughter, Bailee.

She is studying fine arts at Cofa, which is part of the New South Wales University.

She had applied to have one of her works exhibited in the Kudos Gallery, which is part of the university. Out of more than 200 students, her piece was accepted and the opening was held last Tuesday, hence the trip to Sydney to support her at the opening.

Britain and built in Sydney. Many of the internal walls are now glass to allow for light to penetrate, noise to be controlled and original areas to be contained and viewed. It was fascinating to see parts of the steel structure, sandstone walls and the beautiful timbers used in the construction.

Bailee had been the previous week and was keen to show me some books. The library has an extensive collection of New South Wales house and garden design, interior furnishing and a botanical data base with more than 10,000 listings. It has an amazing collection of books, periodicals, floor coverings, wallpapers, fabrics, photographs and accessories dating back to the early 19th century. Bailee’s research focus was fauna and flora for textiles.

highly patterned with flat finishes and hints of gold or silver to highly textured with not as much pattern.

Some of the wallpapers looked like pressed leather as they were highly embossed and coloured.

Stunning.

The colours were strikingly bright and the colour combinations gorgeous and different to the way we use colour today. Although having said that, some of the fabrics and wallpapers we see coming out of Europe are often colours or designs from archives sometimes dating back to 18th century.
