Buildings Insurance
I am having hell of a job getting buildings insurance for the house we complete on next week!
because we are leasing it back to the builders for use as a display home it will be empty at night.
Anyone got a good broker they know of in Perth?
Cheers

Sorry but no advice on Perth, but want to get something off my chest!
We put in an offer for a house and had to get insurance on the house as soon as the offer was accepted. Why couldn't the insurance start from the settlement date? Presumably the owners still have insurance until they settle - the house is still theirs.
Why were we forced into taking insurance 3 weeks before we needed it? Think of how many people are buying houses and the overlap in insurance that the companies are getting.......what a scam!!!
Gripe over....back in my box.

But the real estate agent can arrange a cover note for you. Ours did for no charge.

I could have guessed that you would have a wheez for this ABC! Well done on you - but not everybody will have a freindly real estate agent.

They probably do it on the assumption that the majority of customers will proceed with the policy and not bother getting alternative quotes.
It did suprise me a bit, having been an Insurance Broker myself before, but I accept whats offered
