Landlord insurance FAQs
It's important that the amount you insure your investment property for is enough to cover all costs to rebuild your house. This includes things like demolition costs, debris removal, professional fees, and council fees.
When calculating the premium for a property, one thing we take into account is the specific natural disaster risk at your address. We call this risk-based pricing. For example, Wellington has a higher risk of earthquake damage than Auckland.
We believe this is the fairest way to determine the cost of insurance.
We use various sources of data to assess the level of risk each address faces. This includes information about the building itself like age, construction materials, and sum insured, as well as its geographical location.
To help us better understand the earthquake and flood risk in New Zealand, we've partnered with Risk Management Solutions (RMS), one of the world's leading catastrophe modelling companies.
RMS earthquake and flood models are built using advanced technologies, science, and date, including lessons from historical events, geologic data, ongoing global research, and damage statistics.
Assessing properties with this level of detail means earthquake and flood damage risk can vary from one address to another, even for properties on the same street. These differences are reflected in our premiums.

We are pet lovers and know that from time to time they are not always as well behaved as you may like. Unfortunately, our policies don't cover damage to your house or furnishings that is caused by your pet.
Damage to your home made through daily life, ageing, and normal wear and tear is not covered. However, we do cover you for hidden gradual water damage caused over time by a leak or overflow from an internal water pipe, hose, or tank. Limits apply.
