Home Maintenance
Protect Your Biggest Investment With HouseProud
How good is your home, really? Worried you may own a “leaky home”. A Realsure HouseProud Maintenance Inspection will help you understand what condition your home is in and whether it is subject to weather-tightness problems.
HouseProud lets you take control of home maintenance, upgrading and redecorating, planning and budgeting, by telling you what you need to know.
Too often we inspect homes with beautiful décor and a great exterior sitting on rotten flooring and foundations. To fix these homes sometimes requires a rebuild rather than a repair. The cost of repairs has exponentially increased from what might have been a relatively simple maintenance fix, to a considerable rebuild.
Maintaining Your Home With HouseProud
The 2005 BRANZ Research on NZ Housing indicated around 80% of homeowners questioned believed their homes to be in good condition. The reality of that condition in the 2010 survey is that less than half the homes surveyed are in good condition. A report by Price Waterhouse Cooper – identified one of the reasons for the low level of recorded failure rates (of leaky homes) is denial behaviour by homeowners of the existence and/or potential severity of problems and hence the urgency of the need to address them. A Realsure HouseProud report will help you understand weather-tightness risk and how it relates to your home.
