Well, that woke me up...

You've made an invalid assumption. We are buying nowhere near an ocean.

Well you say that. You might be immortal. S'not like you haven't tested the theory.

I'm not saying that all real estate agents are self interested weasels. Cunts is a better word .

Looks like the Asteron building may be a bit of an issue. Just had a call from a friend who works there that's just been evacuated. Cracks have been found but they're not sure how bad it is just yet. The missus works there too and they felt a massive jolt today so not sure if they're new cracks or something that a couple shaggin somewhere recently spotted.

What a shame....(it didn't actually cave in).

South Canterbury to Masterton covers a fair bit of the country, and a lot of that nowhere near the sea.

The deal is actually a lie. The Real Estate agent rang up ranting at my wife this morning so our lawyer went to bat for us and spoke to four insurance companies who all said the same thing that we'd been reporting to the Real Estate agent. The Real Estate agent then claimed that she'd sold a place a week ago and they had no trouble getting insurance, but when pushed that turned out to be the Thursday before the earthquake.

They were going to lift the embargo where we're buying this Friday, but last night's 5.7 in Culverden put paid to that.

We managed to just get through escaping the red zone on the day before confirmation was due, in doing so saving us around $500 a week on loss of insurance settlement value vs the ever increasing market, after finally getting a response from an insurance company I hate after spending $1000 to meet their requirements and then hand delivering it to the bank to get finance approved.

I understand your frustration, I just hope you are not being coerced to move, because I know from personal experience that it is a cunty situation to be in.

Really, I never would have guessed...

Gee I'm starting to feel guilty about this post, didn't even think you'd be out on the street. Hope you can get back in.

It's 100% true. Old Steve Tew would've simply made a call to his bumchum Key...and in they go to get the silverware! I had a run in (well, a few actually) with a guy by the name of Phil Becker, of WCC, the tosser tries to tell me that they were let in, due to the level of risk being different to mine. They were only in danger of falling glass, I'm in danger of being squashed. Not sure which would be a better way to go. Being sliced in half by 20mm thick glass falling from 18 stories, or being squashed. Odd though, that when I asked to see the engineers report comparing the two...he couldn't and wouldn't. He's a full of shit wanker.

All good. Could be a while before you see any lounge pics though! Really looking forward to seeing what the kilo of fish I took out of the freezer looks like in a months time.

Wonder who I can bill for the damage from that?

Bloody hell, that was lucky.

Luckily we have no coercion as yet, however, we suspect it is coming soon. Wonder if the Real Estate agent will pay for a motel?

Keep hassling them. Soon enough they will get sick of the sound of your voice and let you in.
