The Earthquake Commission (EQC) received nearly 6,000 applications from Canterbury homeowners for the Government’s On-solds support package, with more than half arriving in the month before the 14 October 2020 deadline.
EQC is now working through a process with the homeowners to review their eligibility.
EQC Head of On-solds, Pip Andrews, says EQC has written to all applicants requesting documents to verify their eligibility before 14 December, such as sale and purchase agreements and pre-purchase building reports.
“We’re fast approaching two months since applications closed and have requested this information from homeowners. Once we have reviewed their eligibility, each eligible homeowner will be matched with a Settlement Specialist to take them through the assessment and settlement process,” says Ms Andrews.
