WARNING!
The one thing I would NEVER do again, is to insure anything with Budget insurance! (Auto and General insurance)
I insured the two houses I built, with them three years ago. April 2022 a water pipe burst under the rear huge BBQ/Pergola slab. Holes were dug/cut through slab but leak was never found. The fill had washed out from under slab leaving slab unsupported. As Budget were loathe to fix this, eventually, at my expense, a new water line was put in, driveway cut to get water into house.
Budget sent their builder to quote as I WAS covered for damage caused by escape of liquid. The quote was $89000.
Months went by until Budget offered me 10%, $8900. Lies were told about what engineer had said. Embellishments of the truth were rife in this saga. I have been pressured to accept the offer in phone calls from Budget even very recently.
I had complained to AFCA nine months ago.
At last AFCA have made a decision and I am being awarded the $$$$$ to fix my house!!!
BE CAREFUL who you insure with. Do not be swayed by fancy ads on T.V.
Cheers
