Replacement costs for home insurance

Gordon from Halswell

Over the last couple of years I have been made aware that I need to keep upto date with cost for replacing my house if I have to replace it.
This year the insurance companies have not mentioned it which got me wondering. So I used the online calculator that I used last year and the price dropped by $200K ?
Last year my house was estimated for selling at $200K more, but why would that affect the rebuilding costs?
I am sure there are some people who will be able to share thoughts

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

How much does it cost to join AEA?

There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
