Period between property inspections increased from 3 -4 monthly by Initio - an exclusive member-only benefit

The New Zealand Property Investors Federation is pleased to announce that our insurance partner, Initio, has added an exclusive member-only benefit that increases the required property inspection period from 3 monthly to 4 monthly.  This applies to all full NZPIF members and Associate Members.

Given the insurance markets move to 3 monthly inspection periods and debate among landlords this benefit is very timely. Andrew King was quoted in an article in the NZ Herald over the weekend “Rental property inspections too frequent, say landlords”, click here to read the full article<https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12246706>

What do property inspections relate to?

Property inspections are a form of risk management that helps to reduce and identify malicious damage and meth losses.

What is not well known is that the requirement to undertake property inspections is for tenant related losses – the requirement is NOT designed as a catch-all for every type of claim.  Eg.  If a pipe suddenly bursts causing water damage, property inspections are irrelevant.
