Insurance

Subrogation…”Never do a deal with your Tenant”

Say what!

Little known but highly important and significant aspect of your insurance policy.

Sometimes referred to as “recovery of loss” and protects you and your insurer for paying for losses that aren’t your fault.

By doing a deal with the tenant eg “Just pay me the cost of the excess” you may have disqualified your insurer the opportunity to recover costs from the tenant that caused the damage. If you then proceed to make a claim you have effectively “double dipped” by profiting from a claim something that insurers do not take lightly and may then void your claim…or worse if your actions can be deemed fraudulent.

So if you have a potential insurance claim allow your provider to make the decisions as to who should be held accountable.

Alex Muir has been an absolute asset to the team, his efficiency and promptness with matters has allowed me to live comfortably without worries. On top of that, he is extremely respectful and approachable making him less of an agent but more of a family member during house visits. Thank you for your service Alex!

Just moved into our new rental and super happy. Sales/property manager, Mark, was so helpful and kind when we were inspecting. He ensured every detail of the property was maintained. Everyone in the office was super nice, responsive, organised and professional too!

I have used Edwards Windsor on a number of occasions over the last 10 years and as on previous occasions have again been very impressed by their service. This was the most significant property sale that we have navigated soit was particularly important to get an agent we had the utmost confidence in.Peter Harrison was very impressive from the get go. I expect any decent agent to be professional, hard working and have excellent interpersonal skills. Peter was all of these. Above and beyond this however, Peter took the time to understand our wider circumstances, priorities and expectations. This meant that as we engaged with the market and various potential buyers, Peter already understood what we were looking for and our conversations were always “ on the same page. “ Most importantly we sold our house for an amount we were very satisfied with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter and the Edwards Windsor team. Excellent service.

Having vacated a property that is in urgent need of proper maintenance and work done, the audacity and rudeness after having worked our butts off to clean the property to make it look better than it really is - then the property agent sends a $500 cleaning bill for the most pathetic excuses, e.g. tape mark on wall, charging to remove a coffee pod holder on the fridge, etc. It was left in a heck of a lot better state than when it was leased. This property has unsafe stairs, paint peeling from the cornices, mould growing in the bedroom and unsafe railings outside as examples. The rudeness of the agent and the questionable methods and contact during the last few days have made me question this agent/business. As a landlord myself, I expected better from other real estate agents and thank goodness I don't have my property listed with them.
