COMMON QUESTIONS
Compulsory Earthquake Insurance, Home Cover and Utilities
Does compulsory earthquake insurance cover every loss in the home?
No. Review official scope and exclusions and consider optional home insurance separately for other risks.
Is compulsory insurance checked for utility subscriptions?
For homes within scope, the existence of compulsory earthquake insurance is checked under the applicable rules for water and electricity subscription procedures.
Does an address error on the policy matter?
Yes. Confirm that the policy address matches the insured home and the property for which the utility account is being opened.
