Bankwest FAQs
For landlords, a better option than home insurance is landlord insurance. Landlord insurance covers you for the same things as a home insurance policy, but with several important additions to cover you against risks from your tenants.
Bankwest’s landlord insurance policies offer cover for a range of insured events (think fires, storms and theft) and loss of rent due to tenant default. You can see a snapshot of Bankwest’s landlord insurance options in the table below.
If you have a recent and accurate estimate for the value of your home and contents, then it’s often a good idea to insure up to that particular sum to get your exact money’s worth.
If you don’t have an accurate idea of the above value, then you could insure for a complete replacement to give yourself peace of mind. Find out how much home insurance you need and how much contents insurance you need.
