Let’s bust the jargon! 💥📖
🔤🏡 PROPERTY JARGON BUSTER – THIS WEEK: E!
Buying or selling a property comes with its own language! So each week we’re breaking down a few of those terms and making them a little easier to understand.

🏠Early resolution
The purpose of early resolution is to give the parties to a complaint the opportunity to work together to resolve the complaint. It is part of REA's complaint process and is an alternative to a complaint going to a Complaints Assessment Committee (CAC).
🏠Easement
The right to use land belonging to another, for example, a water authority may have an access easement across part of a property.
🏠Eligible officer
An officer of an agency who holds an agent’s class of licence. They are responsible for supervising salespersons and they enable a company to carry out real estate agency work. The eligible officer is the person REA contacts when we receive a complaint.
🏠Encroachment
Part of a house or structure illegally overhanging a street or neighbour’s property.
🏠Encumbrance
An impediment to the use or transfer of property in the form of an interest or right in the property.
🏠Equity

🏠Estate
The combination of all the real estate and personal property owned by an individual at the time of death.

🛋️ Thinking about selling your home? Before you start decluttering, repainting or rearranging furniture, it can pay to think about who your most likely buyer will be.

A growing family may be looking for storage and practical living spaces, while professionals might value a home office or flexible room. Downsizers and investors may be more focused on easy maintenance and efficient living.

The key is not simply to make your home look good. It is to help the right buyer picture themselves living there.

Let’s bust the jargon! 💥📖
🏡CAC (Complaints Assessment Committee)
The CACs are preliminary panels, each made up of three people, including a lawyer and two other members with a background in real estate or consumer affairs. CACs determine complaints about real estate agents. Determinations and orders are made under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008. CACs can also file disciplinary charges in the Real Estate Disciplinary Tribunal.
🏡Caveat
A notice on a title that a third party might have some interest or right in the property.
🏡CCC (code compliance certificate)
A code compliance certificate is a formal statement issued under section 95 of the Building Act 2004, that building work carried out under a building consent complies with that building consent.
🏡Certificate of title (Title)
The Title is a legal document that identifies the owners of the property and key facts about the property.
🏡Chattels
Chattels are moveable and removable items of personal property. In real estate transactions, chattels included in the sale include items like the stove, television aerial, carpets, blinds, curtains, drapes and light fittings. Only the chattels listed in a sale and purchase agreement are included in a property sale.
🏡Commission
Real estate agents are usually paid a commission by the seller when a property sells. The commission is the agent's fee for selling the property, and it is detailed in the agency agreement the seller signs with the agent. Commission rates vary and can be negotiated.
🏡Common property
The area of building, land or amenities within a unit title property that is shared by all owners, for example, a shared driveway.
🏡Company title
A type of ownership more common when properties are grouped together. An owner automatically becomes an owner of a company that administers, manages and maintains the property in which the owner’s unit is registered. The directors of that company are elected each year at the annual general meeting (AGM) by owners involved with that company.
🏡Conditional offer
An offer to buy a property subject to stated conditions being met.
🏡Conjunctional agreement
A conjunctional agreement allows an agent from an agency that is not the listing agency to do real estate agency work on behalf of the seller. The most common arrangement is when an agent introduces a buyer to the listing agent, and both agents receive a share of the commission.
🏡Continuing professional development
Verifiable and non-verifiable education which all licensees must complete each year by 31 December.
🏡Covenant
Any terms, conditions and restrictions regarding the use of the property that are noted on the Title. A covenant may affect future plans or resale for the property.
🏡Cross lease
This type of ownership is common where there is more than one home on a block of land. All owners own the land, and each leases their home from the owner group. The lease will usually provide for an exclusive use area for each cross-lessee. A cross lease is similar to owning a freehold property, but there are restrictions.

⚽️💙 A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to all the young footballers selected for the 7 and 9 Aside Rep Football Teams! 👏👏
What a fantastic achievement for every child selected! It takes commitment, effort, teamwork and a whole lot of love for the game to get to this point. ⚽️🙌 Not to mention the commitment of coaches, parents and supporters.
There was also a fantastic number of kids selected from Ruahine School, which is something the school and our local football community can be incredibly proud of. 👏💙
And on a very proud Nana note… two of those fantastic Ruahine kids are my grandsons! 🥰⚽️
I couldn’t be prouder of them and all the hard work they have put in. Watching them grow in confidence, learn new skills and enjoy playing the game they love is pretty special. ❤️
