You’ve been going around in circles with EQC for years — there is another way out.
Thousands of Canterbury homeowners are still living with the consequences of incomplete repairs, cash settlements that didn’t cover the real cost, and a system that was supposed to help. We buy properties regardless of claim status. No more EQC. No more waiting.
Unresolved or partially settled EQC claims
Botched or incomplete Fletchers managed repairs
No insurance or declined insurance applications
Outstanding engineer sign-off or remediation work
Ten years is a long time to wait. You don’t have to wait any longer.
Thousands of Christchurch homeowners received EQC cash settlements that didn’t cover the true cost of repairs, or had work done under the Fletchers managed repair programme that has since been found to be incomplete or substandard. Many have spent years going back and forth with EQC and insurers with little to show for it.
For these homeowners, a real estate agent is not the answer — an agent must disclose the damage and the unresolved claim status, which makes it nearly impossible to attract a standard buyer who can get finance. My New Start buys the property regardless of claim status, no repairs required, and no EQC paperwork for the seller to sort out first.
