Discount Terms and Conditions
Multiple Property Discount
To be eligible for the Multiple Property Discount, the policyholder must have a minimum of 3 of the following current policies:
- Landlord Preferred Policy; or
- Scheer Short Stay Policy; or
- Landlord Preferred – Self Managed
If you take out a new policy which means you qualify for a Multiple Property Discount, you get the discount on that new policy immediately. Your other existing policies the discount applies to will receive the discount from their renewal date provided you still qualify.
Combined Policy Discount
To be eligible for a Combined Policy Discount you must have the Residential Building Insurance Policy with us along with one of the following other policies on the same property:
- Landlord Preferred Policy, or
- Landlord Preferred Policy – Self Managed, or
- Scheer Short Stay Policy
Both policies must be current. If you meet this criteria, then you will be entitled to a discount on the premium payable for the Residential Building Insurance policy.
If you have an existing Residential Building Insurance Policy and you take out a Landlord Preferred Policy, a Landlord Preferred Policy – Self Managed or a Scheer Short Stay Policy for the same property, a pro-rated discount will apply to the premium payable on the Residential Building Insurance Policy for the remaining period of insurance. This discount will only apply if both policies are current.
