Over the last couple of years I have been made aware that I need to keep upto date with cost for replacing my house if I have to replace it.
This year the insurance companies have not mentioned it which got me wondering. So I used the online calculator that I used last year and the price dropped by $200K ?
Last year my house was estimated for selling at $200K more, but why would that affect the rebuilding costs?
I am sure there are some people who will be able to share thoughts

Hi neighbours, tourism operators are frustrated at Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency’s decision to close the Arthur’s Pass route for much of the day for two weeks.

State Highway 73, linking the West Coast and Canterbury, will close on weekdays for resurfacing between Otira and Arthur’s Pass from 10am to 6pm between December 4 and December 15.

Arthur’s Pass cafe and store owner Sean Moran said the closure would severely affect his business.

But Waka Kotahi Canterbury/West Coast system manager Mark Pinner said the fortnight before the Christmas holidays "has the least impact overall, compared to later options".

Read the full story by reporter Joanne Naish here.
