Understanding a home insurance enquiry
A useful discussion starts with the property, how it is occupied and what you want to protect. Buildings and contents are different interests, and rented or landlord-owned properties may require different information from an owner-occupied home.
We help collect the information needed for an Argus enquiry and explain the documents associated with an available quotation. The applicable policy wording determines the insured events, limits, conditions and exclusions.
Information worth preparing
- The property address and type of residence.
- Whether it is owner-occupied, rented or let to tenants.
- Construction and security information requested for the enquiry.
- Rebuilding and contents figures you wish to discuss.
- Previous policy details or a renewal notice when relevant.
Homeowners, tenants and landlords
Your own home
Ask about buildings, household contents and the information needed to consider an available home option.
Rented homes
Tell us whether you are the tenant or property owner so the enquiry can be approached correctly.
Landlord-owned property
Explain the property’s use and occupancy. Do not assume a standard owner-occupied arrangement applies to a let property.
