Hi team.
Just a few things to note when sorting out repairs following the storm.

- Take photos of the damage and take all reasonable steps to minimize the loss. It helps your insurers to assess your claim

- Be clear on the scope of work. Write it down and get quotes in writing (Email or text is fine).

- If extra work is needed, then get that discussed BEFORE the extra work starts.

- Be cautious if full payment is demanded up front, (you might not see the person again).

- Pay a deposit to secure the job, negotiate progress payments with the tradie - they have bills to pay too.

- Hold back a small amount until you are satisfied that the work has been completed.

Here are a couple of articles that might help. Check out our website www.CAB.org.nz... or give us a call 04 5666039

Alison McKone from Citizens Advice Bureau Lower Hutt

Our Board had a yummy lunch last week at the Neighbourhood Cafe on High Street (we pay for lunch ourselves :)). We will be going back there again. Well worth a visit.
