Welcome to this month's newsletter from goodGround! Yey for the end of winter and hopefully the end of the mud. Thank goodness for the full water tanks though and all the grass. Welcome to spring.
Our free classified advertising offer is still current - why not use
this section to sell your lifestyle services and goods.
Goodground would like to introduce a new member to the team Tina Subritzky. Tina brings with her ten years of expertise in advertising and marketing which goodground will utilise.
TINA SAYS:
After having just relocated a villa from Auckland to my Whangarei lifestyle block I thought it would be useful to pass on some of my experiences. It pays to initially set up a meeting with your local council and find all the ins and outs of this process. A good finanical advisor is also a must. Projects like this always, always cost more than you planned on. A word of advice: get at least three quotes for every job that requires a tradesman, getting the local handy man down the road as a cheaper option isn't always a wise choice as you still have to get a code of compliance from the local council and their regulations are quite strict. However, it is a rewarding experience when your ideas finally come to life.

Last month I wrote about the values of Lifestyle Blocks and offered to estimate the value of your Lifestyle Block anywhere in the country (NZ). The response was good and I have done several estimates for clients in four different regions. These vary greatly but thanks to the magic of the internet can be done fairly quickly and simply. All that is required is some basic information from you about your property and some research from goodGround. For an estimate of the value of your block contact
martin@goodground.com
I recently did a bit of exploring in Australia visiting Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and practically every small town in between. The small acreage market in Australia is booming and is as diverse as it is in NZ. Values are similar in both countries but the roads are definitely easier to drive on in Australia! goodGround is now in a position to offer the same estimate of value service to our Australian clients. If you are thinking of going to a lifestyle block across the ditch (either from Australia to NZ or vice-versa) contact
martin@goodground.com . This service also applies to clients who are thinking about Trans-Tasman investments.
For those of you looking for more information about how to get the most out of your lifestyle block now is a good time to
subscribe to goodGround.
Finally a big welcome to Tina Subritzky who has joined the team at goodGround. Tina has first class experience in advertising and marketing. She has two growen up children, owns horses and lives on a lifestyle block! Tina will be happy to talk to you about advertising with your own mini website on goodGround. She would also welcome any
feedback about the website. All your suggestions are welcome!
