- Check the Brokers website and be satisfied that they specialise in investment property insurance
- Talk to a Broker staff member who is savvy about your business and ask specific questions so that you are comfortable that they do have sufficient knowledge
- Disclose ALL of your previous claims on any property for the period requested
- Disclose any known issues which may affect the insurers’ acceptance of the risk

- Be aware of your responsibilities in relation to fire safety and tenant welfare at your property
- Ensure you insure your property with a financially secure A-Rated Insurer
- Ask plenty of questions of your Broker to ensure you’re happy that they understand rental property insurance and the policy they are recommending
- Pay your premium on time and renew your policy on or before renewal date to avoid any subsequent claim being declined
