how near to a fault line would you buy a house?
 

Just wondering???If it gonna go its gonna go, but is buying a property with land on the fault line a daft notion, even if it goes across land not the house? Will it affect the resale value? How far have you got to be from it before it does?

I believe a fault line goes through Nelson hospital. ;)

think most of NZ is covered in them, maybe apart from Auckland but then you have to have to contend with the volcanoes :unsure:

I suppose if you are prepared to buy a house on a fault line then someone else is more likely to as well. If you can't get insurance or mortgage on a property then I would say not to buy.

Fault lines, they're everywhere!
