An interesting website you run.

We do not generally reveal what the reserves on the properties were.

This is for a variety of reasons , probably mostly because they change
from time to time and we do not want to set false expectations.

There is a press release on the topic of the RDC website. At the present
time we have accepted 19 offers. Ie 4 properties remain unsold for a
variety of reasons.

The average price was just over $8,000

It takes around 2 months to finalise the sale and purchase.
The information around the prices will become public in about 3 months
after the transactions have been finalised.

Dear Peter Till,

I'm not aware that you will know any of the websites that I run.

I know you do not reveal them, which is precisely why I used this process
- to get that information.

As soon as the sales become final the data will be in the public domain
anyway. So the reluctance to release it puzzles me.

Yours sincerely,
Guy Hollister

The email I received had some “automatic” attachments generated at this
end – and those are the ones I looked up – it was my mistake.

 

You are right its public information at  the end of the day – but

 

Right now its subject to detailed negotiation around settlement dates etc

 

Even at the end of the process it is not all neatly catalogued in the
public domain.

 

Local Bodies walk a very fine line between the use of electoral and
ownership information vs the individual’s right to privacy.

 

At this stage I do not believe RDC should release more detailed
information

Dear Peter Till,

Yes please.

No websites i run were attached to it so you either think I run FYI
or theres a mistake at your end. As no contact information can be
viewed in this forum.

Yours sincerely,
Guy Hollister
