Heidelberg Storm Damage

<p>My residence was damaged during an severe wind and rain storm on the 11 December of 2016. Assesor came and indicated that the residence did not meet the builing regulations.The wall between my residence and the nabour was shown to him as well as it was loose because of the water.He also responded that its not according to building regulation.</p> <p>I was also told that they can only attend to these repairs in January as the festive season is approaching and companies do close.</p> <p>On the 3 January 2017 another storm hit Heiddelberg Gauteng.This resulted in the wall between myself and the nabour to fall. I again reported that the next morning.The same assesor came out and the response was still that the wall did not comply to the building regulations.</p> <p>In both these storms it was a act of nature which i was fully insured for according to me.</p> <p>The house was build around 30 years back and the builded carport 2 years back January of 2014.</p> <p>The severe winds and rain of that day 11 December 2016 caused damage to the house and roof . and also damage to the carport.</p> <p>The walls of this residence was build about 30 years back and stood until now,surely there was storms and heavy rains before and it lasted,obviously this storms was more severe. If compared to all the damages that Heidelberg residence experienced.(see Heidelberg Harold for the week of the 5th of January 2017.)</p> <p>My dissatisfaction:- Today 24/01/2017 my house and wall is still in the same state.The ensurance did send an eng.out to asses which they are waiting for.</p> <p>Most of the residence in overkruins walls are already rebuilded and i am still trying to justify an act of nature.</p> <p>This house was evaluated by the finance Company which is " Eskom Finance company" and ensured through their appointed insurance,which is compulsor.How was it at all possible that i was not made aware that i will buy an house which is not compliant to the building regulations.The insurance company went into this aggreement surely knowing this and then did not high this risk to me.</p> <p>All my monthly instalments are paid to date , and how will i know what is building regulations and what not? and what was these regulations 30 years back. Why should i experience this and try to justify something that i was insured for according to me.</p>
