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. They signed off and were paid for their … View moreHi 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. 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" !
