Specialist Cover for Multi Units

If you’re serious about property investing, it is likely that you have a block of units in your portfolio. We have an insurance policy designed to keep your premiums low.

Get Multi Unit Cover

Initio allows you to buy insurance online and enjoy some of the best policy coverage and claims management available to Landlords of multi units.

Initio provides an all-in-one cover for residential multi unit rental properties (up to six attached units) and the extra risks you take on as a landlord, such as one of the tenants deliberately damaging your property.

What if I live in one of my units?
The multi unit rental policy is designed for rental properties. If you own a block of units and personally reside in one unit, this will need to be insured individually as an owner occupied home. This way you can include cover for your contents and personal effects, and get premium savings on your own home. The remainder of the units in the block can be insured either together or individually.

What if it is a Body Corporate?
Sorry we are unable to insure properties which are part of a Body Corporate.

How do I note the ownership of each unit?
If each unit has a different owner the unit will need to be insured individually. To qualify for the multi-unit policy the units must all have the same ownership and be under the same roof.

How many units can I insure on one policy?
You can insure up to SIX attached residential units under a single initio multi unit policy.

Fast, easy cost efficient online insurance with simple to understand cover that provides a benchmark year after year for the minimum standard of policy coverage and service delivery all property investors should be able to expect from their insurer.

Have NEVER been able to buy insurance like this before. Super easy. Only thing is that there is nowhere to tell you that the 2 houses on this property were built in different decades. 1969 and 1990.
