EQC botch up again.

Annie from Linwood

Hi there, have just had a call from EQC telling me they will not fix my house and are going to pay me out. The so called builders who did the work on the house didi not do all that was on the scope, eg 10 piles to be packed and jacked spouting to be fixed.

The so called builders who did the work on the house didi not do all that was on the scope, eg 10 piles to be packed and jacked spouting to be fixed. They signed off and were paid for their work or lack of it. Anyone out there with the same issues I would be interested to hear from you as I am not sure what steps to take next. My understanding is that  your house was to be returned to the status it was before the earthquakes which mine is certainly not. Yes I am insured.

Selling of 2500 State Houses in Christchurch

Petra from Sydenham

The Government wants to sell 2500 Christchurch State Houses before the end of 2017.
National has taken $ 523 m of profits out of Housing New Zealand, including a $ 118m dividend for 2015/16. That's enough to have built over 1,500 State houses. At the same time, they have sold off 2,500 houses… View more
The Government wants to sell 2500 Christchurch State Houses before the end of 2017.
National has taken $ 523 m of profits out of Housing New Zealand, including a $ 118m dividend for 2015/16. That's enough to have built over 1,500 State houses. At the same time, they have sold off 2,500 houses ( net ) since 2011, and are moving to sell thousands more to merchant bankers, property developers and overseas companies.

If we don't stop this now people on lower incomes depending on affordable rental housing will be at the mercy of greedy landlords. The high levels of rent is only possible by the government subsidising the rent through the " Accomodation benefit" at a cost to the taxpayer of $1.8 billion per year.

I am sure that we all know someone living in a Housing New Zealand house, it's their "Home" !

Enjoying a hint of character paired with contemporary convenience, this home truly boasts the best of both worlds and a brilliant example of the latter being summed up by the ducted heat pump system which can be controlled by your phone for absolute ease of living. The open plan living area is superbly configured and features an attractive mixture of oak floors and neutral hues while the vibrant feature wall provides a pop of colour. Double doors off the lounge aid the seamless transition out to the partially sheltered and private patio which is an ideal area to unwind with a good book or beverage in the sunshine. Year-round comfort is assured with the presence of a pellet fire which exudes warmth and ambience while a fibre connected built-in modem and router, with two rooms conveniently hard wired, is a further advantage. Completing this enticing package are three well-proportioned bedrooms, two modern bathrooms, one with tiled shower, and the other with a bath. The property has a single internal access garage in conjunction with off-street parking, and a delightful garden setting that requires minimal upkeep. Conveniently situated less than five minutes’ drive from the various amenities at The Colombo, you also have easy access to the central city and Cashmere hills which are less than 10-minutes away while zoning for Cashmere High School further underpins your investment. This property is sure to impress, and your earliest viewing is encouraged. Contact me for more information.
