Leaky homes have been with New Zealanders for decades. In the 90's rampant developers and lax regulation led to homes being built that were not watertight, and rotted in a matter of years due to untreated timber.
Many home owners panic when faced with the possibility that their home might be defective, and fall into the "leaky home" category. If it is though, there are tried and trusted methods to repair them. And some not so trusted...
Knowing how much it will cost to bring their home back to a reasonable standard is the first hurdle most owners must overcome. The next one is how to finance repairs. There are loans, court cases, and the infamous 'Financial Assistance Package' but to name a few options.
If you have some questions about your home, please send your questions.
