House values queried

At least 1000 Waitakere City residents are questioning the latest round of council commissioned property valuations.

All have lodged formal complaints and will have their properties revalued at the Waitakere City Council's cost."If a ratepayer is still unhappy with the result after the objection process is completed they can lodge the matter with the Land Valuation Tribunal," council public affairs manager Dai Bindoff says.

Ratepayers had until December 2 to lodge their objections.
