JOINT INSURANCE FOR 2 FLATS
Hi Neighbors,
Has anyone come across the situation below?
My son owns a flat upstairs and has insurance with BNZ.
Recently, the flat downstairs was sold and the new owners are unable to get their own insurance for some technical reason.
They have been advised that the only option is to get a joint insurance with my son.
1) Is this a workable solution?
2) My son has landlords insurance and it is a package that covers his own house and 2 motor cars. Can you mix that with an owners insurance?
3) He is most worried about the impact of future claims.
Do you know of anyone who has had this kind of insurance or a solicitor who can help him on the complications and implications of such an arrangement?
Thank you in advance.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
