“We had heaps of interest in the property, with enquiries from all around the country,” Adams says.
“We even had people flying up from Christchurch to have a look. We had multiple offers and would have had more except I had to let buyers know they were highly unlikely to be able to secure finance for the property. They needed to be cash unconditional.”
Adams says not one of many events genuinely thinking about shopping for indicated they might demolish the home.
“As far as I’m aware, the buyers are not going to demolish. They are keen to renovate.”

He stated the household bought the property round 1950, and transformed the decrease stage after 10 or so years so as to add a flat. But not lengthy after, it began going downhill after the proprietor’s husband died.
“‘Mum’ lived here, but has been unable to maintain it,” he stated.
“It has been vacant since January. I found it interesting that in 33 years of being an agent and seeing thousands and thousands of old villas, I have never been in a villa that has not been repiled and found the floors are level, as they are in this house.”
Photos present rotting and broken wall linings, with black mould in lots of the rooms.
But the bones of the home stay. Adams says there’s some smoke harm downstairs within the flat, after an electrical blanket caught fireplace. But there isn’t any fireplace harm.
