Concerns potential buyers of Kāinga Ora house not told of 'meth lab' history
Langford Street's residents say the chequered past of a two-bedroom Kāinga Ora property hasn't been disclosed.
Neighbours living near a Kāinga Ora property in Naenae, Lower Hutt, are concerned prospective buyers may not have been informed about the home's history as a meth lab. The two-bedroom house, listed as a "project you don't want to miss," was previously used for drug activities, including drug deals, fights, and gang hangouts. Neighbours allege that a post-it note warning about the meth lab history was placed on the for sale sign and windows, but no toxicology reports have been provided to them despite multiple requests.
The property underwent remediation for methamphetamine contamination, but residents feel the potential buyers may not have full knowledge of the past issues. Kāinga Ora stated they provided relevant reports to the listing agent, but there has been no confirmation of those reports being shared with the buyers.
