Default NZ housing
I know the subject has probably been done to death, but I would like to give the positive side of NZ housing.
We own a 15/16 year old house. It is build from hardiplank and is up on piles.
It has loft insulation and I believe wall insulation ( I don't know without drilling into it)
Our problem is with keeping the place cool - not keeping it warm.

Current temperatures in Chch is max 14 during the day. Today we came home to the house being 26C, this evening without any heating being on, it is still 24C. Yes it does get the sun all day, but there is no double glazing and it has a tin roof.

So not all NZ houses are damp and draughty
