Kiwi insurer Tower has today launched its new Contract works – Renovation cover, as the trend for home renovations continues to spike.
Most house insurance policies only provide cover for minor alterations. Tower’s new Contract works – Renovation cover will ensure Kiwis undertaking large renovations, like those that require building consent, are covered in case the unexpected happens.
Research by Pureprofile, commissioned by Tower, shows that more than half (58%) of Kiwis believe it is better to renovate than move house in the current market, if they’re needing or wanting to upgrade their living situation.
