How Vital Is an Apartment Earthquake Rating in Auckland?

By Apartment Specialists · 2015-03-27T09:45:25.000Z

Do you have an apartment in Auckland? Do you think that earthquake ratings for apartment buildings may change in the near future? The average benchmark for earthquake ratings is 34%, and based on my initial assessment of Auckland's apartment market. This will not change any time soon, because I have talked with several structural engineers. This is not only my opinion, but insights of industry experts especially within the construction firms. This only means that whenever you decide to buy or sell an apartment, you must always consider the earthquake ratings of apartment building. This is an important topic every buyer or seller should know about. I have an in-depth podcast about this particular topic, you can check it out on my website for more details.
