Please urgently advise us if you will not be accessing your premises during the Level-4 lockdown as we have to ensure vacant buildings are safe and secure for our insurance requirements.
Insurance Requirements:
As with last year’s Level-4 lockdown, we have received communication from our insurers regarding insurance-related responsibilities during this Level-4 lockdown across New Zealand. They say that we, as property managers, “should ensure that all buildings have been fully secured, and where alarms are installed these are operational, and where possible all non-essential electrical is turned-off.”
Action required: Please confirm by email whether or not you have fully secured your premises, that alarms (if installed) are operational and activated, and whether any non-essential electrical is turned off.
The reason we need this information is to ensure your premises continue to be covered by insurance.
Our insurers say that as long as we have done everything we can to ensure we have complied with the above (securing the premises, alarms operational and activated, and non-essential electrical is turned off where possible), then insurance should continue and any claims should be accepted within the terms of the policy conditions.
Repairs & Maintenance:
We have confirmed with our contractors that under Level-4 lockdown they are unable to undertake any work unless it is determined essential.
Please feel free to send through all [essential and non-essential] requests for maintenance and repairs to us during this time. We will add work to the list of works to be undertaken as the lockdown moves to Level 3 and below.
Wage Subsidy:
The New Zealand Government has announced that a wage subsidy will be available to businesses impacted by the Level-4 lockdown (Alert Level 4) on 18 August 2021. For more information regarding this subsidy, please head to the Government’s Work & Income page.
More information regarding financial support for businesses can be found on the Government’s Covid-19 page.
