Your sum insured should reflect how much it would cost to rebuild your investment house, including things like fences, driveways, demolition, debris removal, compliance and professional fees, plus GST. Getting this amount right is important because, in most cases, it will be the maximum we’ll pay if you suffer a total loss (minus your excess) – for instance, if a natural disaster took out your home.

Using a sum insured calculator can make figuring out the total cost easier. You can compare this amount against your own calculations to get the best estimate of your rebuild costs. 

Buying the cheapest landlords insurance can be tempting, but there are a few things to consider before committing to an insurance policy. To compare quotes accurately, it’s worth checking:

  • the policy features and limits – some insurance policy features have limits, so it’s important to compare these and choose the cover that best meets your needs. 
  • the financial strength rating of the insurance company – this tells you whether the insurer has the means to pay-out on your claims. This is particularly important in NZ because we can experience widespread damage in areas due to natural disasters.

Accidental loss: Unexpected and unintended damage.

Claim: A request made to your insurance company to compensate you financially for something covered by your policy.

Cover: The protection provided by an insurance policy.

Excess: The amount you contribute towards a claim before your insurer pays the rest of your entitlement.

Exclusion: Specific conditions or circumstances that the policy does not cover.

Premium: The amount you pay for the financial protection your insurance policy provides.

Sum insured: The maximum amount your insurer will pay for a covered loss.
