If you’ve ever looked at buying a property in Christchurch, you’ve probably seen TC Zones on the map. But do they still matter today, and what do they actually mean for you?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew unpack what TC1, TC2, and TC3 really mean, how they were created, and whether they’re still useful in 2026.
You’ll learn:
- What TC Zones are and how they relate to liquefaction risk
- Why are site-specific Geotech reports now more accurate than old zoning maps
- How to use them as a property buyer
Ed and Andrew also share how insurance, lending, and building standards have evolved – and what every buyer should check before purchasing in a former earthquake zone.
