Landlords Insurance FAQs

Your investment property is likely to be one of your biggest assets, so it’s important to protect it. Imagine if the property was damaged or destroyed by fire. Without insurance, your investment income would go up in flames, too.

Also keep in mind that, if you’ve borrowed money to buy your investment property, your financial institution may say that you have to take out insurance on the property.

Loss of rent is an optional extra you can add to your policy. If you choose it, we’ll cover any loss of rent equal to the weekly amount up to 12 months following an event that makes the property uninhabitable.

To see what you’re covered for with loss of rent, please read the PDS.

As long as you take out Buildings & Contents or Buildings cover for your landlords insurance then, yes, it’s covered. This means that if a storm, fire, landslide, bungled burglary or other event causes damage to your property, we’ll cover it.

To see exactly what types of buildings we cover and what the building is covered for, please read the PDS.​

There are many factors that influence your insurance premium – from your property’s location to the materials used to build it.
