EQC On sold program is winding down
The EQC On sold program was established for owners of houses who purchased property Postquake™, after the 2010/2011 seismic events, that caused significant damage across the Canterbury region, in particular Christchurch.
We understand late claims are still been accepted in exceptional circumstances.
The On sold program has seen a steady rise the number of owners choosing to pursue a new insurance claim. Owners who fit into this category should seriously consider contacting Risknet. We can review the EQC scope of works and also the repairs that the previous owners stated as being completed.
We encourage buyers to call us before you sign a contract. Risknet can review the initial assessment(s) to determine what repairs have been completed. If damage remains unrepaired, the buyers face the risk of their future insurance being declined.
Remember, Geonet have made no secret about the fact that Canterbury will face another Earthquake. This event will come from the Alpine fault. The exact timing is unknown, but known nonetheless. You need to protect yourselves and assets and ensure your insurances stack up.
Risknet has completed hundreds of floor levels surveys and building inspections for clients.
Risknet is asked to review what other firms are providing in the market. The news is not good. Most reports we are asked to review fail our test. We are continually informing and educating clients about the risks, and providing our specialist knowledge to assist our clients now, and in the future.
