Club secretary Pat Holland says they will be holding a dinner at the Lodge on Saturday as well as slide shows and displays covering the club’s history. “Some of the slides and photos are really interesting,” Pat says. “They give a good insight into the club’s history. “The members were hardier back then because they had to be. The carried heavier packs everything is lightweight now - and when they went up to Mt Arthur they would have to walk up from the Graham Valley because the access road wasn’t there then. “The club also built a number of huts around the district.

Property insights Vendors’ obligations to agents It is now a legal requirement that vendors disclose any serious faults and defects of the property to the agent at the time of signing the listing forms. For example, if your oven is not in good functioning order, or the swimming pool pump is faulty, then you must disclose this. If there is something wrong with your property and you have told the agent not to tell the buyers then the agent will have to disengage themselves from your listing agreement.

The law has teeth and there has been a recorded case where the judge ordered the vendors pay for substantial remedial work to rectify a serious flaw in a property that they had not disclosed. Thankfully this was not in the Nelson Region. If you have a property related question then e-mail me and I will see if I can help you. lydia@nelsonrealestate.co.nz
