About this episode
New Zealanders love their houses – and that love can sometimes see them getting ripped off.
Two cases reported on by the NZ Herald in recent weeks have highlighted cases where home buyers have purchased their dream homes on false pretences, in both cases related to misleading information about moisture levels.
So what exactly happened in these cases, how were the people found out, and what does it say about the real estate industry as a whole?
Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior reporter Lane Nichols explains what we can learn about real estate from these cases.
