Frequently Asked Questions
Practical guidance from the original Ferguson Insurance Lawyers resource library.
What types of insurance are required for buildings in Auckland?+
In Auckland, it’s essential to have building insurance that covers damage from natural disasters (earthquakes, storms, floods), fire, and other perils. Contents insurance and specific coverages like landlord or renters' insurance may also be necessary.
What is the Earthquake Commission (EQC) cover, and how does it work?+
The EQC provides insurance for residential properties in New Zealand, including Auckland, covering damage from natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. It acts as a layer of coverage before private insurance kicks in.
What happens if my claim is denied by the insurance company?+
If your claim is denied, you have the right to dispute the decision. This can involve negotiating directly with the insurer or seeking legal advice from an insurance lawyer to challenge the denial.
How is the sum insured for my building determined?+
The sum insured is the maximum amount your insurer will pay if your building is destroyed. It’s typically based on a replacement cost calculation, considering factors like size, location, and construction materials.
Can I insure a building under construction?+
Yes, you can insure a building under construction. This is typically done through a special policy known as "contract works insurance," which covers damage or loss during the construction phase.
Does building insurance cover damage from tenants?+
Standard building insurance does not usually cover damage caused by tenants. However, landlords can purchase additional cover to protect against tenant-related damage.
How do I know if my building insurance policy covers flood damage?+
Most comprehensive building insurance policies in Auckland cover flood damage, but it's essential to check the policy wording for specific exclusions or limitations. Flood risk in certain areas may affect coverage terms.
What should I do if my building suffers earthquake damage?+
If your building suffers earthquake damage, you should first contact the Earthquake Commission (EQC) for a claim. If the damage exceeds the EQC’s limits, your private insurer will handle the remainder of the claim.
What are my legal rights if my insurer delays processing my claim?+
If your insurer delays processing your claim without valid reason, you have the right to seek legal advice. In extreme cases, you can file a complaint with the Insurance & Financial Services Ombudsman or pursue legal action.
Can I insure a heritage building in New Zealand?+
Yes, heritage buildings can be insured, but they often require specialized policies due to their unique construction and historical significance. These policies may be more expensive and may have specific conditions related to restoration and repair.
