A group of West Auckland homeowners have joined forces to ask authorities to buy out their flood-prone properties.

West Auckland Is Flooding wants the local council, the Government, and insurance companies to pull together to pay for their red and yellow-stickered homes.

Property lawyer Joanna Pidgeon says the Government and councils have no obligation to buy out these properties.

Joanna Pidgeon says there's a range of scenarios to contend with, and these people will need to work with insurers to fund rebuilds.
