Melbourne Building Replacement Insurance Valuation
It is essential to ensure your property is insured correctly, whether it be a strata complex, single residential site, or commercial or industrial asset. In the unfortunate event that anything should happen to the property, you don’t want to get caught out having to fund its replacement because you were underinsured; This can become quite a costly procedure! On the other hand, you also don’t want to be over-insured – that is, paying too much where not necessary!
Regular building replacement insurance valuations in Melbourne are required by law to appease strata regulations and are completed, as a general rule, every 3-5 years. This allows the insurance company to cover the complete replacement of the property in the event of a natural disaster, flood, fire and more.
The inclusions and assessment of the strata building replacement insurance valuation is for the property itself, including common areas, driveways, gardens, wiring, lifts, pools, gyms, and covers everything from the removal of debris, professional fees associated with the re-build, and public liability for an assured and accurate cover.
One such instance that we always quote to new enquiries is where a strata building was not completely covered, and had a fire in the building rendering it unsafe and in need of knocking down. The strata was not properly insured and as such, all lot owners were left with a large bill to foot to replace their valued asset – this clearly highlights the need to be properly assessed by a qualified valuer!
Our strata building replacement cost valuations can be completed within 2-5 business days from inspection depending on the property, and we can have a certified valuer out to inspect as early as the next business day. We also offer a host of complimentary services such as unit entitlement valuations and pre-sale/pre-purchase valuation, contact us today to find out more.
