We are in the process o f building a new house. We are lucky to have been able to build a lovely big shed to house our van and we will put it there before the house i s completed as we are housesitting for a freind.
However we are having trouble finding anyone to insure the shed before we move in. I am worried about storm damage rather than any contents. The van is fully insured. Anyone else had the same problem and how did you solve it.
Our house and contents, garage and contents insured through APIA , no issue, which houses two race cars and all the tools etc..

Try Commisure. They were the only ones that we could get when we put everything into storage.

Thanks guys. The problem seems to be because there is not currently a house on the property(still under construction)so no one will be living there. Our other properties, and the new one will be insured with Com insure but they still won't touch us.

You may have to approach an Insurance Broker to seek that type of cover. It is always a concern for mainstream insurers when the insured of not living at the insured property. I am aware of buildings currently being insured on a property where there is no one living, however, there are certain terms & conditions that have to be met by that insured. His insurance is with Hollard Insurance but needed to be arranged through a Broker.
