    12 weeks is 40 weeks short of what is required if you are to rebuild a house.

    Contact an insurance broker to do some leg work on your behalf or ring around to get some quotes to compare. 

    I have heard good things about Real Insurance.

    Use Terry Scheer or EBM. They are Landlord insurance specialists.

    Most of the general insurers don't have as much included. Read the PDF CAREFULLY.

    BTW $594 is WAY too expensive.  Mid $300 is normal.  Edit. That's in NSW. Not sure how it is in Vic.

    My buyer's agent organized a new policy for me a policy via EBM, Seems to be ok. $285 for a Victoria 2 Bedroom Unit.

    Are EBM (Insurance Brokers) similar to how Mortgage Brokers kind of operate? In that they will search a number of deals for you then present the best one to you which suits your needs then you deal with the company then directly? 

    I ask because it seems like my policy is direct with EBM itself and deal with them directly unlike a mortgage loan after the initial setup you pretty much deal with the bank itself.

    Does that sound right?
