John & Heather McMurdo

We live in Blenheim, and the house (purchased in December 2009) was a rental for us , which our son lived in. We knew our assessments were wrong, and our house should be a rebuild, not a repair, but we didn’t know who to turn to, or how we were going to argue our case, and prove EQC and SR wrong. This is what Grant and his team do, they do it every day, and they know how to beat these people at this ‘game’. It still takes a long time, and you have to be prepared to go through the process, but if you do, you will get what

It’s no exaggeration to say that the team at Grant Shand changed our lives. When we first contacted Andrew Ferguson we had pretty much reached rock bottom. We’d been fighting the EQC and our insurance company for more than four years, and getting nowhere. Our young family were living in a house that was dark, cold, and verging on unhealthy, and we were all but ready to give in and accept the meagre offer on the table. Then Andrew stepped in.

“Following the Canterbury earthquakes, we moved out for an 8 week EQC repair, which after 12 months had still not started. We finally went overcap only to find ourselves back to square one (worse in fact) with our insurance company. Dealing with the insurance company and assessors became a fulltime job.

Success!

We recently completed our earthquake settlement with our insurers, almost seven years after the event! This has obviously been a stressful and overly long process, but at the end of it we are pleased with what has been achieved for us. Credit for that goes to the team at Grant Shand who have been in our corner whenever necessary. I would personally like to thank Grant and Paul who have supported me and been generous with their time and availability.

We have no doubt that we chose the right team to fight for us!

Prior to contacting Grant Shand, we had tried all avenues in attempting to progress our earthquake claim. There was a lot at stake for us. Grant knew what steps to take and acted with great alacrity and efficacy. He was very clear in all communications and always had time for us, and our many questions. His skill and determination got us a successful outcome. We have no doubt that we chose the right team to fight for us.
