Christchurch Property Buyers Since the Earthquakes
Our Christchurch journey
As Is Where Is began in the years following the Christchurch earthquakes, when many homeowners were left with damaged properties, stalled insurance claims and no clear path forward.
Traditional real estate didn’t always work for these homes. Repairs were expensive, buyers were hesitant and processes were slow.
We stepped in to provide something simpler — a direct way to sell, without agents, open homes or costly preparation.
What started as a response to a local crisis has grown into a trusted Christchurch property buying business.
Rebuilding hope after the earthquake
A local solution for Christchurch homeowners
Turning devastation into opportunity
We don’t simply purchase properties and on-sell them untouched.Wherever possible, we repair and restore homes - bringing them back to life and returning them to the Christchurch market.
Many of the properties we purchase have structural damage, deferred maintenance, insurance complications or have been difficult to sell through traditional channels. We take on the work so sellers don’t have to.
That approach allows homeowners to move forward - and helps improve housing stock across the city.
How We Work
When traditional real estate feels uncertain, we provide direct, practical solutions for Christchurch homeowners who want a clear way forward.
Transparency
The offer we present is clear and written. No hidden costs or surprises.
Respect
We approach every situation professionally and respectfully.
Certainty
Once terms are agreed, we follow through.
Local Commitment
Christchurch isn’t just our market - it’s our community.
Why choose
As Is Where Is
Straight forward cash Payments
We buy damaged, uninsured, or unwanted property as is, so you can stop pouring time and money into a house you don’t want to keep.
Clear Offer. Clear Outcome.
If insurance negotiations are dragging on or buyer conditions keep changing, we provide a simpler alternative. After assessing your property, we present a written offer based on its current condition. If it works for you, we agree on terms and move forward — no ongoing back and forth.
No Agent Fees. No Marketing Expenses.
Because we purchase directly, there are no agent commissions, advertising costs or open home expenses. The offer we present reflects the property as it stands — and the agreed amount is what you receive at settlement.
Over 200 Properties Purchased Across Christchurch
From earthquake-affected homes to long-neglected rentals, we’ve purchased and restored properties throughout the city.
Our experience allows us to assess homes realistically and move quickly, without the uncertainty of listing on the open market.
