External Support Services

We understand that organising finance for a housing project can be overwhelming. Making sure that you understand the project and the framework of your budget will go a long way towards meeting your finance needs. We work with a network of experienced Mortgage Brokers who can provide guidance and support throughout the process.

If you would like support with organising your finance, please contact us and we can organise for one of our Mortgage Brokers to touch base with you.

Total Relocation Insurance Package

When an investment of this size is involved, we highly recommend appropriate insurance cover. We work with a range of specialist insurance brokers, who are familiar with the Relocation process and can provide cover that is tailored to your needs. This provides you with peace of mind from the beginning right through to completion of your project. Relocating a house should not be a stressful time.

A Topographical survey is prepared to report on the contours of a site and key features that exist within the area such as buildings, services, roads and vegetation. When utilised for building purposes these should also include boundary lines and easements. These surveys are essential if you are looking to relocate a house and there are many local suppliers who you can assist with this.

If you need support in finding a supplier, please contact us and we can organise for one of our Surveyors to get in touch base with you.

A Geotechnical report (also known as a Geo-tech or Soil Report) is a requirement of most local Councils when submitting a building consent for approval.

This report details the specific building platform that is required for a house to be placed on, and the soakage requirements of the land.

If you need a Geotechnical Report, we can refer you to one of our preferred council accredited suppliers, who can ensure a prompt turnaround time for your report – normally 10-15 working days.

Building Inspections provide an in-depth review of the structure of a house, and any issues or concerns with the structural integrity of the build. Having this information allows the purchaser to make informed decisions in regard to the quality of the house and whether it is worth investing in. You may also be required to provide this information prior to lenders approving any finance against the house.

If you are looking to sell your house for Relocation, it is useful to complete contamination testing prior to listing. This includes an Asbestos Survey (for houses built in the 1970 & 80s) as well as Methamphetamine Testing. These processes ensure that potential buyers are fully informed about the risk of any contamination prior to purchasing a house, and it minimises the likelihood of sales falling through because of it.

Having a positive result in either an Asbestos or Meth test does not mean that the house cannot be sold. Both types of contamination can be resolved, but advance knowledge of this issue allows purchasers to plan appropriately for removal of the contamination.

As much as we try to re-purpose pre-loved houses, there will be circumstances where the final result is still Demolition. In these instances, The Relocatable House Co. are here to support you through this process.

We have long-standing relationships with several demolition firms across the North Island. Our aim in partnering with these companies is to connect our clients with reputable demolition providers who not only will complete a clean demolition but who are also socially and environmentally responsible in the way they treat the waste material created from the demo. Many components of a demolished house can be salvaged or recycled, and this minimises the amount of landfill being created.
