Dear Amanda,

 

Thank you for contacting the Earthquake Commission (EQC).

 

Your Request for Documents - 4/18 DIVISION STREET, RICCARTON, CHRISTCHURCH
8041

I can confirm that the claim(s) for the above address were cash settled
and were not referred to Fletcher Earthquake Recovery (EQR) for a managed
repair.

 

I am therefore unable to provide the EQR Scope of Works as it does not
exist. Please note that if you require the ‘sign off’ documents, you can
obtain it from the contractor who managed the repair at the property.

 

I apologise for the inconvenience that this may cause.

 

Please find enclosed a copy of the Scope of Work (costed and uncosted) for
the property at 4/18 DIVISION STREET, RICCARTON, CHRISTCHURCH 8041 as per
your request.

 

Personal information relating to the previous owners has been withheld for
privacy reasons.

 

Please note that the financial figures contained in this Scope of Works
document are estimate figures, and may not reflect any payments you
received as settlement for your claim.

 

If you have questions about your claim or would like an explanation of the
information provided, please contact EQC in the following ways:

Free phone:                                       0800 DAMAGE (0800 326

You have the option of approaching the Office of the Ombudsman and/or

EQC assessments have a very specific purpose and, for this reason, are
limited in their use. The purpose of an EQC building assessment is to
record the natural disaster damage which has occurred to residential
buildings (as defined in the [3]EQC Act).

EQC uses this assessment to create a Scope of Works that details the
strategy for repairing the natural disaster damage (only) and the
estimated cost of that repair.

They are not a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection and should not be
solely relied upon by home buyers when doing thorough due diligence as
part of a potential property purchase.

You can read more about getting help to assess risks in an area affected
by earthquakes, floods or other natural disasters when buying a house on
the [4]Consumer Protection website.
