🌧️ Update for Flood-Affected Homeowners in Auckland 🌧️
Auckland Council is releasing valuations for flood-affected properties, a critical step to help residents move forward after the devastating floods. If you’ve been impacted, this is an essential opportunity to reassess your situation and explore your options.
