A residential investment property needs to be appropriately insured.

Landlord Insurance can give you the confidence that your property will be covered should something go wrong. Ian Berry Landlord Insurance covers the property and/or the contents you provide for your tenant’s use from loss or damage by insured events.

To help you decide the cover you need, here’s a brief outline of the difference between buildings and contents cover.

Buildings

Designed to cover the physical structures that make up your property, like the house itself, garage, sheds, permanently installed swimming pools and decks.

Contents

Designed to cover items at your property – from furniture, white goods and removable domestic appliances which belong to you as the landlord and that you have provided for the use of your tenant. It also covers your carpets and window furnishings.

Landlord Insurance Calculators

It’s up to you to decide the sums insured, and the type and level of cover that you want to take out. People generally want enough insurance to cover the property’s estimated replacement value. If you don’t have enough cover, you could end up having to cover some of the costs yourself. Remember, Allianz will only pay up to the amount of your loss or the sum insured, whichever is the lesser (subject to the policy terms and conditions) – so you should also be careful not to over insure. That’s why we’ve provided these calculators. They work as guides to help you estimate the replacement value of your landlord buildings and contents.

  1. Online discount

    When you quote and buy a new Landlord Insurance policy online, a discount of up to 10% is applied to your first year’s premium including the following optional covers (if selected): Flood and Rent Default and Theft by Tenant. This discount isn’t applied on renewal.

  2. Minimum premiums

    If you are eligible for more than one discount, Allianz applies them in a predetermined order. This means any subsequent discount will be applied to the reduced premium amount after applying any prior discounts and the effect of the subsequent discount will be reduced. For example, the aggregate effect of applying two 10% discounts consecutively means that you will not see the full benefit of both these discounts.

    Discounts do not apply to taxes or government charges.

    Discounts do not apply to optional covers for Domestic Workers’ Compensation / Landlord Workers’ Compensation, and may not apply to other optional covers (if available and selected).

    Any discounts/entitlements may be subject to rounding and may only apply to the extent that any minimum premium is not reached.

  3. Instalment premiums

    If you choose to pay your premium by instalments you do not pay us any more than if you pay your premium in one lump sum annually. The premiums payable by instalments may be subject to minor adjustments (upwards or downwards) due to rounding. Note: Your financial institution may apply transaction fees to instalment payments.

  4. 72 hour exclusion period

    We may not provide cover for any loss of or damage to your property caused by cyclone, flood, grassfires and bushfires, during the first 72 hours after you first purchase a policy or increase your cover under an existing policy. Refer to PDS for when exclusion periods apply.
