The BRANZ House Condition Survey (HCS) provides a snapshot of the state of New Zealand housing at a point in time. The latest round of the survey, completed in 2015/16, surveyed a total of 560 houses throughout the country. The data has been weighted to be proportionally representative of owner-occupied and rented stock in New Zealand.
This report presents findings from the 2015 HCS on key factors associated with, and indicative of, a warm, dry, healthy home: insulation, ventilation, heating and mould.
