According to STUFF an elderly woman who bought a new retirement home found herself living next door to drug dealing and gang activity, even after asking around about her prospective neighbours.

The woman took the real estate agents to the industry watchdog, saying they never told her about the problems on the street.

In a decision published this month, the Real Estate Agents Authority said neither of the two agents involved could have warned the woman, and instead blamed the former homeowner for withholding information.

The committee said it accepted both agents would have told the woman about potential issues had they known about them, as they knew the woman was buying a home in which to retire.

However, when they asked the homeowner selling the property about the neighbours, he reported he had never had major issues with them, except for occasionally needing them to move their cars from their shared driveway.
