A ‘leaky’ home.
Homes built on landfills.
Homes built on cliffs overlooking rivers.
Homes close to slaughter houses.
Homes without an engineer’s report in Rotorua (because you don’t want to discover a boiling mud pool in your garden one morning – but Rotorua is a nice place to live!)
Homes close to, or on, flood ponding areas.
