Rob5060 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have a house that was purchased using the Company method Do any of you guys know if that creates any problems when insuring the building and contents Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsfbrit Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I insured with QBE (Pattaya branch) and they were not interested at all. They just insured the house - simple as that. I have renewed 4 times. Mind you, I have not tried to make a claim yet - so who really knows!!! My insurance does not include contents cover. By the way, I have no idea whether QBE are the best deal nowadays, I am sure there are people on this forum who can advise you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with QBE, good solid company and on the Thai Visa Insurance 'approval list'. Please visit our Pattaya office - see attached for map - and we can arrange contents cover together with building cover for you.

Please check to make sure Allianz knows you are using your home as an 'office' - even if it's only one room (saves any problems in the event of a claim) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this not create a Contract conflict? The OP advices that he does not own the house - it's in the Company name. Where therefore is the "insurable interest"?

That's strange - I was always of the opinion that you couldn't insure something that you didn't own due to the fact that you could not produce title in the event of a loss. I'm not questioning your statement as such, but are you sure on this point? Take this scenario - image all the Company owners took out insurance - would the Insurers pay out 7 times in the event of a claim?

In Thailand you can insure something you do not own - this is the best way (for example) for anyone with a property in a company name as, in the event of a claim, it saves allot of paperwork. Would the insurance company pay out 7 times, afraid not but good idea :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just see the scenarios:- 1) But Your Honour,(or Khun somebody), I/we (all 7 of us) have a valid contract struck with the Insurance Company. A claim has occurred - why not pay? 2) One of us for sure is entitled to payment - which one? 3) The insurers reject the claim(s) because none of the 7 "owners" can prove complete title! Ouch! Oh well, I'm glad I'm not a Company owner with a house to insure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
