HUNTING HOUSES HUTT VALLEY
Tv One's house hunting in the country series had its controversies. No more so than when prospective buyers went through a home that they actually owned and lived in and of course wanted to get out of. They treated the arrangement as though they had never seen their house and property before and thus as per one of the show's three houses presented to them for considering to buy.
Then in the final episode of the 2024 series, there were a family of six plus two dogs and a cat looking for a large home in Lower Hutt city.
Some country and to top it off it was billed as the Hutt Valley at least a dozen times yet the three houses shown to the family were all in Lower Hutt - a Western Hills suburb home, one in the heart of Naenae and the third a near historical house in urban Petone. The latter was too small for me, my wife and Corgi.
So no Upper Hutt but still billed as the Hutt Valley with its near 170,000 combined population. I suppose "Hutt Valley" has a countryside connotation.

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
