ADVERTORIAL<br />
Earthquake claims<br />
still not settled?<br />
Our newspapers are full of stories<br />
recounting the problems many home<br />
owners are having in settling their<br />
earthquake claims. EQC’s repairs<br />
failing, and insurance companies not<br />
meeting their<br />
obligations,<br />
are common<br />
problems being<br />
experienced.<br />
Aurum Building<br />
Brokers manager,<br />
Chris Seque,<br />
advises that to<br />
be in a position<br />
to challenge EQC and/or your insurer,<br />
you need “best” evidence.<br />
Homeowners need to prove their loss:<br />
1. The property has suffered<br />
earthquake damage<br />
2. The property is covered by<br />
an insurance contract for the<br />
damage.<br />
3. The damage needs to be<br />
appropriately assessed.<br />
4. A reinstatement<br />
solution needs to<br />
be prepared that<br />
describes the standard<br />
of repair required in<br />
terms of the insuarnce<br />
policy and the EQC<br />
act.<br />
5. The cost of<br />
reinstatement needs to be<br />
quantified.<br />
Chris advises that Aurum Building<br />
Brokers has been helping Christchurch<br />
home owners for the past six years<br />
in preparing the evidence portfolios<br />
needed for advocates and lawyers<br />
to negotiate their claims with insurers.<br />

who can provide evidence written in<br />
a format to challenge the assessments<br />
provided by EQC’s or the insurer’s<br />
appointed experts.<br />
