Zurich General Insurance Partners The Makeover Guys to Help Property Owners Protect Newly Renovated Homes
– Zurich General Insurance Malaysia Berhad (Zurich) recently formed a partnership with The Makeover Guys Sdn Bhd (The Makeover Guys), an innovative property investment solutions provider, to give property owners peace of mind with an insurance solution for their newly renovated homes for rental.
This insurance solution package, known as The Makeover Care, addresses the general concerns of property owners and allows them to enjoy better protection for their rental homes as well as its fittings and furniture, avoiding the risks traditionally borne by them. The Makeover Care covers damages to the content built and supplied by The Makeover Guys, including damages caused by tenant’s negligence, misconduct or malicious intent, despite having documented tenancy agreement and rental deposit.
Too often, these concerns prevent owners from making further investment into their properties which leads to lower returns of investment. With the inclusion of insurance protection as part of the renovation and improvement costs, property owners can makeover their rental properties without a worry; thus providing tenants with better options and improved quality of life, translating to higher returns for investors and creating a beneficial situation for everyone.
This latest initiative is part of Zurich’s ongoing effort to provide customers with innovative solutions to meet their evolving needs. Junior Cho, the company’s Senior Vice President and Head of Market Management, shared the rationale behind the company’s latest partnership. “For us at Zurich, we are always exploring out-of-the-box opportunities that would benefit our customers and better secure what they value. We understand that any property purchase is a major investment and it is important that the property and its contents are well protected. We are confident The Makeover Guys will pave the way for customers to obtain holistic solutions for their property investments right from the start.”
The Makeover Guys is a local outfit that aims to help property investors maximise returns through strategic makeovers of their properties, thus enabling them to enjoy potentially higher yields and ease of rentability. “We certainly look forward to a fruitful, long-term partnership with Zurich. We believe this collaboration will strengthen our mission to provide hassle-free services to ease all the pains that come with property investment. Being property investors ourselves, we understand exactly what our clients go through, and we aim to continue improving and innovating our offerings to serve them better,” said Gavin Liew, Founder and Managing Partner of The Makeover Guys.
Starting from 1st April 2019, property owners based in the Klang Valley who engage The Makeover Guys to remodel their rental property will receive a free home content insurance underwritten by Zurich, upon completion of the renovation. This offer is also extended to other regions where The Makeover Guys operate from May onwards. Former customers of The Makeover Guys will also be offered the opportunity to purchase this exclusive coverage.
