QBE Insurance has announced significant enhancements to its commercial landlord insurance offerings, introducing new add-ons designed to provide brokers with more comprehensive tools to support their clients.
These strategic enhancements aim to address the evolving needs of property investors and landlords in Australia.
The newly introduced optional covers include:
Rent Default Cover: Provides coverage for up to 52 weeks, offering landlords financial protection against tenants failing to pay rent.
Tax Audit Protection: Offers coverage up to $25,000, assisting landlords in managing expenses related to tax audits.
Machinery and Electronic Equipment Breakdown Cover: Protects against the costs associated with the breakdown of essential machinery and electronic equipment within the property.
Bob Algie, Head of Property and Marine at QBE Australia Pacific, emphasized the strategic nature of these enhancements, stating that they are designed to help brokers grow their portfolios in a competitive market. By offering these covers as optional extras, brokers are equipped with more tools to attract and retain quality commercial landlord clients.
These enhancements are particularly targeted at landlords with properties valued between $15 million and $50 million, especially those who maintain strong risk management practices and well-maintained assets. The inclusion of these add-ons reflects QBE's commitment to providing tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of property investors.
In addition to these product enhancements, QBE has implemented generative AI underwriting across all property products. This technological advancement aims to facilitate faster and more accurate decisions regarding risk acceptance, pricing, and conditions. The use of generative AI is especially valuable in the industrial special risks sector, where complexity and data volume can slow down response times. With this tool, QBE is able to review more submissions and assist brokers in securing coverage more efficiently than ever before.
For landlords, these developments underscore the importance of regularly reviewing and updating insurance coverage to ensure it aligns with their specific needs and adequately protects against potential financial setbacks arising from tenant-related issues. The introduction of these new add-ons by QBE provides an opportunity for landlords to enhance their protection and manage the financial risks associated with property investment more effectively.

A recent Fleet Auto News report has put a timely spotlight on one of the least glamorous but most important parts of fleet management: incident reporting. Many transport businesses still rely on paper forms, email trails and spreadsheets to record vehicle damage, accidents and minor incidents. Those methods may feel familiar, but they can leave operators with delayed reports, incomplete details and data that is difficult to use when a claim, audit or premium review arrives. - read more

A fresh warning from Australian medical indemnity underwriter Tego has highlighted a risk that many businesses are only beginning to confront: artificial intelligence may not fit neatly inside existing insurance categories. As AI tools become embedded in diagnosis, administration, client advice, document drafting, fraud detection and customer service, the question is no longer simply whether a mistake occurred. It is also who made the decision, who controlled the system and which policy should respond. - read more
