以下是这篇文章: I bought a meth contaminated property and lived to tell the tale.
October 25, 2013 at 9:45 AM
A man in the know told me that 40% of Auckland rentals are contaminated (at some level) with methamphetamine. This is a sobering thought for anyone considering buying a property. If you haven’t already faced this problem, it could be just around the corner. And what will you do if you find yourself moments from going unconditional on a property contaminated with Methamphetamine? We did.
My husband and I have been looking for a little over 6 months to add another rental property to our modest portfolio before the LVR changes hit home. We struggled against the wave of first homebuyers, against other investors and rising house prices. But aside from adding our meth test clause to over 20 sale and purchase agreements (as a matter of standard practice) we really didn’t give two thoughts about the possibility of buying a meth contaminated property. We finally found the perfect place and our offer was accepted. Building report, valuation, and existing quality tenant on a sharp rent. Lovely! Last thing to come in was the meth test, positive at .09µg per 100 cm squared. And I sat there, looking at the report and the words that raced across my mind were simply “what does that even mean”. Pandora’s box opened.
I phoned the only man you can speak to in this situation, Miles Stratford from Meth Solutions. Here are the nuts and bolts of what I took from the conversation;
Any trace of meth, requires detailed testing. This can set you back between $1,000 and $3000 of hard earned cash depending on who you get to do it.
The 0.5µg per 100 square cms is the currently acceptable guideline figure for habitation of a property established by the Ministry of Health in 2010 benchmark.  (so ours was just under 20% of the benchmark)
Clean up of meth contamination can be done but comes at a cost but with very low readings, (like .09mg per 100cm sq which our property was), often painting is the best approach. (NB: Where higher levels of meth are found, painting is the worst thing you can do and can end up causing all sorts of unnecessary drama)
The tenants were happy for us to test the property (which could imply innocence) and have had no adverse (that we witnessed) reactions or symptoms of meth contamination.
There was no evidence of meth use or production at the property.
The level of contamination suggests personal use not manufacture.
The insurance company did not impose any restrictions or limits on our insurance policy (including against methamphetamine exposure). Always best to be upfront with them from the onset.
The contamination will not be recorded on our LIM.
The contamination did not affect our valuation.
We asked for an extension on settlement, took the weekend to consider it and decided to buy it. We bought the best insurance policy with full cover and settle next week. We have also decided to meth manage the property with a Methminder and regular testing. Time will certainly tell if this problem is increasing and managable.
We remain committed to helping our clients grow their wealth through investing in property, however investing in anything has an element of risk. Is it better to have a measured risk you know about? And what will the future of rental property be in New Zealand? Does meth contamination pose the same risk and monumental losses we saw with the $11.3 billion clean up cost of leaky homes? Could it exceed it? As investors these are questions we all need to consider.
If you would like our methamphetamine clause for your Sale & Purchase agreements, or to discuss any of the above contact me on natalie@wendellproperty.co.nz.

Meth contamination 'could be anywhere'

No home or motel room in the Western Bay is exempt from the possibility of methamphetamine contamination, according to a former P user.

The Tauranga man, who did not want to be named, has given up using P and turned to educating others about the dangers of the drug.

"It's pretty much everywhere. Everyone's on to it these days. They do it where you least expect it. Right under your nose," he said.

"I've been in places where stuff's been cooked in [Tauranga] motels. It's pretty easy to do it. It only takes one night to do it and then pack up and leave."

The man now spends his time trying to spread the word about the dangers of living in methamphetamine-contaminated houses.

Last year, police uncovered 11 P-labs in the Western Bay.

Property managers Cameron Hooper and Tonya Sarich of First National, Bethlehem and Welcome Bay, are the first real estate agents in Tauranga to have completed the training necessary to carry out tests for P contamination.

"You've only got to look at the paper to see all the labs they've busted and realise the problem is down here as well. It's everywhere," Mr Hooper said.

He said he had dealt with a number of contaminated properties in Tauranga, including one which required the landlords to gut the house and start again.

Mr Hooper said he encouraged all potential buyers to have a test done as well as suggesting landlords had their properties tested at the beginning and end of tenancies.

"If you're buying a house, you're spending $400,000 so $150 along with your building report makes sense. It's a small cost to pay for knowing your house is clean and having peace of mind."

Meth Solutions director Miles Stratford said testing was the only way to be sure a house was not contaminated.

"People who are cooking meth are getting smarter about people looking for it and they are taking steps to clean it up."

Councils currently do not have to be notified about contaminated houses so council reports alone cannot be relied on, he says.

Former Western Bay woman Robyn Vickers has suffered through the nightmare of living in a P-contaminated house.

She is faced with ongoing medical issues after a year-and-a-half living in what she believes was a P-lab.

Ms Vickers and her four children moved into a relatively-new home in Macmillan St, Katikati, in early 2008.

While moving in, she noticed all the light bulbs were missing and discovered the drains were blocked. She did not think much of it at the time but began to get suspicious when condensation from the shower brought out brown stains at the bottom of the white en suite walls.

Plumbers told her they had seen a similar problem once before in a house that was contaminated by P.

She could not convince the letting agent or landlord to have the house tested so eventually turned to the Tenancy Tribunal for help.

A year after she moved in the house was tested and came back positive in a number of rooms.

Ms Vickers said her health deteriorated while she was living in the home.

"My eyes burned all the time, I lost some of my eyesight. My throat burned all the time, I had heart palpitations, I had trouble breathing, I had insomnia and I was awake all night most nights," she said. "It's pretty nasty stuff."

Ms Vickers is currently faced with finding a new house and is worried about ending up in a similar situation.

"I'm terrified of moving. It's hard for me to afford to get a house tested before I move in."



Signs a P lab has been operating:



Brown stains on walls and floors

Missing light bulbs

Blocked drains

Unusual chemical smells

Numerous chemical containers

Stained-glass equipment and cookware

Numerous cold tablet packages lying around or in the rubbish

Chemical stains around the kitchen sink, laundry, toilet or stormwater drains

製毒的房子(p lab) 和房客吸毒做成的contamination 很不一樣

40% 那數字應該是吸毒的、沒那麼嚴重啦
