FAQs

  • Q: I bought a policy online through another insurer. The application did not ask if my property is of non-standard construction - am I covered properly?
    A: You may not be covered - contact your insurer immediately to check. Come back to us for a competitive quote if you’re not currently covered.
  • Q: Over 70% of my property is standard construction but has a non-standard extension to the rear. Am I insured with my current insurer?
    A: You may not be covered. Some insurers will deem your property to be non-standard if it has in excess of 20% non-standard construction. You should contact your insurer to confirm that you are adequately covered. Why not ask us for a competitive quote?
