Nice to see TWR SP climbing again after recent cyclone fears.

Happy holder.

A reminder of how the recent Cyclone event is BAU for TWR and why I remain a holder.

I live in a coastal village, my house is on a hill 100 metres above the beachside township and is insured with TWR.

Last week, a friend sought to insure a property on the town's main street some 200 metres from the beach. The property's LIM report notes it is located in possible EQ liquification and potential sea level rise flood zones.

In responding to his request for house insurance and after entering the property's address,  the TWR web site quickly informed them: "We're sorry...the details you've given mean that we're currently unable to offer you cover."

Address specific risk measurement is also a fabulous tool to use when looking to buy a property.  If Tower won't cover it, there's almost certainly a very good reason not to buy it.  Just go online with Tower and enter the property address and bingo, Tower says you should keep it on your watchlist or delete it.  Very handy.  Disc: Happy Tower holder.

We also have a holiday home in Coastal town that Tower won't cover. We have never had any issues or made a claim. Others I contacted do Insure our property including Initio.

I've just insured a post quake house in north Canterbury with tower. 30% higher premium than a bigger more expensive property I had in Hamilton. But still cheaper than the competition by give or take 10%.
