Following the Christchurch earthquakes, overseas re-insurers altered the risk status of New Zealand properties. This means that insurance payments are no longer determined by the size of your property (per square meter) but rather by the cost that will be incurred in rebuilding.
We can help you determine the insurance amount that will cover your rebuild costs after a disaster. This can be done using existing plans, historic plans from council archives or by undertaking a complete site measure of the property (including any retaining walls). We can also help liaise with your insurer to ensure the replacement estimate is included in your insurance policy.
