    I have duplex that is being built that I intend to rent out as an IP.

    As such I want to take out both building and landlords insurance.

    Both building are currently on the one title

    I have just spoken to AAMI who tells me that they won't insure multiple dwelling such as a duplex on the one title !!

    Does anyone know of anyone who will do this type of insurance ? If so do you have any recommendations of who is good to go with ?

    Try CGU.

    I have a pair of 5BR townhouses (separate titles, but share a common firewall), each of which are set up as a 3BR + 2BR unit. I have building and landlords insurance on both - and I was sure to have it noted in the policy how the property was set up when the insurance was arranged.

    I did use an insurance broker to arrange it all - not sure if you can get insurance directly through CGU ?

    From my experience with getting quotes from AAMI they appear to have very strict underwriting guidelines, which enables them to be very compititive on price but not on terms. The up shot of this is if you have a standard risk you get a good rate if not you look else where...
