If a fire, flood or any other unforeseen disaster were to damage or completely destroy your home, you'd be faced with the stress of having to rebuild and find alternative accommodation.  You'd also be forced to pay a bond installment on an asset that no longer exists.  Not fair.  But that's the reality.

That's why ooba's Buildings Protector is the essential plan, if you're buying a property. This insurance is a statutory requirement if the property is bonded. So if you want to go ahead and purchase a property, you must be covered.

Due to changes in legislation, you now have freedom of choice to obtain Buildings Insurance cover from any accredited insurer.  That's why it is important to have the relevant information and knowledge to make an informed decision.
