An “empathetic” Auckland man bought a 100-year-old cottage damaged in the extreme weather conditions that wreaked havoc in the Coromandel. The buyer enquired about the Tararu Road property on the outskirts of Thames on Wednesday, viewed it on Thursday and bought it cash and unconditional on Friday for $362,500 – just $1750 less than the asking price. The cottage was initially listed for sale in March this year with a declared auction reserve of $380,000.

Sitting proud on its elevated 900sqm site, this classic 1910s bungalow immediately won the hearts of current owners Stephanie and John, when they were looking for a future family home, 15 years ago. Stephanie says that it needed some work, but the fire was going in the kitchen, which was incredibly appealing, and the couple were soon sold on the property. She and John proceeded to rip out carpets, paint walls and restore the tired pool – bringing the entire property back to life.

Two Auckland property developers are trying to get ahead of slow sales in the crowded new townhouse market by offering novelty deals for buyers. One has set the auction reserve for a three-bedroom townhouse in Ranui at $1. The other is offering to cover one year of interest rate payments for the buyer of the four-bedroom townhouse at 43B Mirrabooka Avenue, in Botany Downs. Harcourts agent Inder Tak, who is bringing 20 Metcalfe Road to auction on September 13, said the sale would be an unusual one.
