Upper Hutt Gone In A Blink
Two weeks ago Upper Hutt was the the most expensive city, town or council area in NZ to rent a house. Now it is not.
Two days ago Upper Hutt had one of the poorest rates for Covid 19 vaccinations in the Wellington region including the Wairarapa. Now it is not.
Either changes happen quicker than the speed of sound or the two pieces of news were dated before they were relaid to the world.
With rent, UH has been superceded by those you would bet your inheritance on as being from number one to number 10.
With vaccinations - only Wellington City with its millions of civil servants, is ahead of UH.
What's next? Sudden stunning proof that Upper Hutt is enjoying a better, warmer climate than Lower Hutt?
Advice please, declined house insurance cover
Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA
