How we can help you

Our homes touch our lives in many ways – when things are going well they provide us with shelter, help our families stay safe and healthly, connect us to our communities and build financial security – but when things go wrong the impact on individuals, families and society can be devastating.

Our objective is to provide reliable information, sound guidance and empathetic support when it is needed, and to do all we can to drive up the quality of our homes and improve the capabilities and ethics of those serving the housing environment.

“I have been delighted with the help and outstanding service from HOBANZ! They made the whole process infinitely easier. They are delightful people to work with.”

Robbie, Former leaky home owner, 2017
