Onsold Earthquake Damaged Homes
ON-SOLD OVER-CAP PACKAGE
In August last year, the Government announced a policy that means owners of ‘on-sold’ over-cap properties could apply for an ex-gratia payment to have their homes repaired. Unfortunately, registrations for this have now closed, but if you're still on the hunt for a specialised EQ repair contractor, Wrightway can help.
We have seen a recent surge in the number of ‘on-sold’ property owners contacting us to guide them through the repair process. You can connect with us by filling out the form below. If you've been deemed eligible and you've met criteria, the main ones being: you purchased the home before August 2019, and at the time any earthquake damage to the home had been determined to be under cap; with unscoped damage now taking it over the EQC cap, then we'll assist in the moving your project forward.
We are happy to meet with you and discuss project management, including a detailed timeline compliance, and sign-off.
Our Managing Director, Hamish Wright, is personally involved in all of our on-sold jobs, attending the first meeting with you, and determining the best strategy for the repair of your home.

Initial Contact
Visit our contact page and let us your situation in detail, we’ll then call to gather further details and documentation, so we can then progress to an inspection of your on-sold, earthquake-damaged home. Any inspections are 100% free of charge.
Inspection
Once we have your documents in order, we’ll arrange to visit your home to carry out an in-depth inspection. Your on-sold, earthquake-damaged home will require a thorough inspection so it’s best to prepare, by decluttering areas of concern.
Scope of Works
During the house inspection, we’ll document all damage and related earthquake areas of concern. Our team of professionals who are experienced in EQC assessments will scope the work required and assist you in your submission to EQC.
Timeline
Assuming you get the thumbs up for an over-cap government payment, then Wrightway will provide you with a timeline that’s suitable for the earthquake repairs to be completed. We’ll do our best for this to fit in with your personal life and stick to our commitments.
Work
As the commencement date approaches, our office staff will call you & run you through what to expect. Our team will arrive, set-up and ensure safety methods and practices are in place so your family home can function with minimal inconvenience.
Completion
Your on-sold, earthquake-damaged home should now be repaired and quality checked to a standard of workmanship that you’re happy to sign-off to.
