WELLINGTON LAND DISTRICT.—PETONE BOROUGH.—WILFORD SETTLEMENT.

IMPROVEMENTS.

Section 11, Block XVII, is weighted with £825, valuation for improvements consisting of dwelling, cow-shed, and dairy, which must be paid in cash immediately on the fall of the hammer, if the section is purchased by any person other than the present occupier of the dwelling.

DESCRIPTION OF SETTLEMENT.

Wilford Settlement is situated in the Borough of Petone, about one mile from the railway-station, which is reached in about eighteen minutes by train from the City of Wellington. A motor-bus service runs from the Petone Railway-station to the sections under offer. The sections are all in grass, and are generally of a dry nature, somewhat sandy, on gravel formation. The streets along the frontage of the sections are formed and metalled, with concrete kerbing and channelling. An opportunity is here offered of securing very desirable residential sites close to school and sea-shore.

TERMS OF SALE.

The purchaser may pay for the land in cash or by deferred payments extending over a period of nineteen years. The terms are—

(1.) Cash.—One-fifth of the purchase-money on the fall of the hammer, and the balance, with Crown-grant fee (£1), within thirty days thereafter.

(2.) Deferred Payments.—5 per cent. of the purchase-money and license fee (£1 ls.) on the fall of the hammer, balance by equal annual instalments extending over nineteen years, with interest payable half-yearly at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the unpaid purchase-money; but with the right to pay off at any time the whole or any part of the outstanding amount.

In either case if the purchaser fails to make any of the prescribed payments by due date, whether of purchase-money or interest, the amount (if any) already paid shall be forfeited and the contact for the sale of the land be null and void.

Titles will be subject to section 60 of the Land Laws Amendment Act, 1912.

Sale plans and full particulars may be obtained at this office.
