water leaking

[Winny]

Hi

A water pipe inside the wall is leaking in the commercial property. The wall has to be cut in order to fix the problem. I want to know who should pay for the repairing fee? is the landlord or the tenant?

I am looking forward to all the replies.

Cheers

I have heard depreciation on commercial buildings is back again!
Great news ... looking forward to the details.
I use to get $175k depreciation in the old days.... double bonus perhaps with another decrease in interest rate.

I'm currently looking at a leaky build with the goal of demolishing down to the foundations / retaining walls and rebuilding. Does anyone have any experience with the challenges of this (especially with council)?

The recent SkyCity annual report noted the convention centre and hotel project was the subject of "unacceptable and costly delays" and was proceeding slower than previously indicated.

Someone must have put a blowtorch to the job to speed it up !

Hi All, I'm about to embark on my first mini renovation in West Auckland. Can anyone recommend trades that are good and fairly cheap. I will need a plumber, electrician, carpenter, tiler/waterproofer.

A relative is getting quotes to construct a minor dwelling in Mangere. The best fixed price quote is over budget and they are considering letting the contract on a cost plus labour basis. I would appreciate advice on the pros and cons of these options and any other relevant advice. Thank you.

I'm looking for inspiration. We've got 8 empty fully serviced sections and a house in West Auckland. Debt level is 35%. Our income is average (<120k). What would you do in our situation in the current market?

If I subdivide>Build>Sell I'm paying tax due to engaging in a development

If I just subdivide and sell title to an empty section am I paying tax?

Grazie,

I didn't have much luck with the person at council I spoke to, who...
