I just received a gag order from EQC that I am expected to sign. I had to check I lived in New Zealand and not North Korea. Not one nail has been hit to repair my home (2 kms from the Greendale fault line). The damage to my home has been a fight - over 80% of my floors are damaged, the repair strate ...

We are in one of the worst hit areas. Most of our suburb has been red zoned, but we were lucky enough to be zoned green (but TC3). Anyway... long story short, we're all on the back burner apparently, no-one around here has had their repairs done, and I'm now so stressed I've lost my short-term memor ...
I am finally moving forward with my repairs. It has only taken three years with EQC being the most horrible organisation to work with. In contrast my Insurance company was easy to deal with. What I have learnt is that when I was assessed as overcap EQC passed me onto the insurance company. The ...

This is might be of some help. At renewal all our AMI policies change from being total replacement based on m2 to being capped at a sum insured. Insurance companies are applying a $2,000 per square meter as a default sum insured on renewal – so in my case my home will be insured for $542, ...

after the 2010 earthquake AMI sent an assessor to my character home in Avonside. he did an inspection, he was pretty thorough and a helpful knowledgeable man, he told me, the house needs to be bulldozed and rebuilt, you need to come to terms with that. Several months on Southern Response sent two ...
EQC and Insurers have claimed that 87% of residential claims are completed or in resolution. The real story is 650 (320 previous quarter) completed Rebuilds and 590 (380 previous quarter) completed Repairs.That's 5% of the total 24,660 (note the number of overcap claims is growing, ie, more ...
The "as new" standard is set out in the Act (in paragraph (a)(ii) of the definition of "replacement value" in section 2 of the Act, which must be read in conjunction with section 18 of the Act). The part of the Act that Duncan refers to (taken from Clause 9 of Schedule 3 to the Act) appears to be re ...
We’ve all been shaken up by the most recent and devastating earthquake in Christchurch and now with what is happening in the Seddon area. It’s normal to feel anxious about your safety, and that of your family and whanau, and it’s normal to feel jumpy and scared, or worried about work.All of ...

Another thing to be aware of, when Fletchers are repairing your home. As you know, they are trying to save paying money. If you have a talk with your insurer as to who pays for the contents to be packed and stored, you may find, as I did, that if it is "advisable" to move out, then insurance pays, b ...
Southern Response have told me that they will not repair my home but will cash settle. I have no say under the policy.I will not accept any payment as full and final as the true cost to repair my home will only be known once the job is complete.If I accept their "estimate" of repairs but it ...
I had a shock when the February earthquake hit and I thought it was a MS attack but seeing the ground move and all the fountains of water erupting from under the foundations and garden area convinced me it was an earthquake. We have had several estimations from 2011 to February this year. We have ha ...
My EQ issues are almost over, bar an EQC claim for carpets and drapes. I settled my total loss home in December 2012, and incredibly sold my badly damaged creekside TC3 section about a month ago.
