Fire & General: Protect More Than Four Walls.

Your home isn’t just a structure — it’s where life happens. But too many Kiwis discover their insurance doesn’t stretch far enough when things go wrong. Domestic, Fire & General Insurance protects not only the house itself but also what’s inside — your contents, vehicles, and lifestyle.

At DormFIN, we make sure your policy actually reflects your world, not just your address. We compare options, explain the fine print, and help you choose cover that fits. So when storms hit, accidents happen, or life throws surprises, you’re ready.

Protect more than just your house — protect your home.

Protecting your lifestyle.

Insurance is often seen as paperwork, but in reality it’s one of the most important tools to protect your family’s financial security. Domestic, Fire & General Insurance makes sure your home, belongings, and lifestyle don’t unravel when disaster strikes.
Without the right cover, even a single event — like a house fire or major storm — can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. With it, you have the peace of mind that your family can recover without financial strain.
At DormFIN, we’ve been helping families across New Zealand find the right protection for many years. Find out more here:

ACC + Private: The Overlap

A common assumption: “If I have private medical insurance, I won’t need to think about ACC.”

What’s usually true: they’re different tools — and they can overlap in ways people don’t expect.
ACC is focused on accidents (with its own rules).

Private medical insurance is generally about eligible private treatment access, choice, and timing — and it can matter even if you’re otherwise healthy.
One of the gaps people don’t expect can be around high-cost medicines:

in some cases there’s an optional extra drug cover add-on, intended to help with certain medicines that aren’t publicly funded (limits and conditions apply).
The real value is understanding where each one starts and stops, so you’re not relying on the wrong thing at the wrong time.

If income paused for a while…

Imagine a very normal situation: your income pauses for a while, and the mortgage payment still shows up like clockwork.

For many households, the stress isn’t just “the mortgage”. It’s everything that stacks up around it: utilities, groceries, childcare, the costs that don’t politely pause.

Mortgage protection is one way people plan for that gap—so the household can keep running without immediately needing big decisions. The right setup depends on the mortgage, the budget, and what other cover (or work support) is already in place.

This is general information only. Insurance needs are personal, so it’s worth getting advice for your situation.

If you want help working out what fits your situation, get in touch.

The life you insured doesn’t live here anymore. 🏡

Think back to when you first set up your insurance. Different mortgage? Different job? Maybe a different version of "the plan"?

Life moves gradually—a new role here, a mortgage refix there, a new family member. None of it feels like a major "insurance event," but over time, your cover can quietly drift out of sync with your reality.

A review doesn’t mean starting over or reinventing the wheel. It’s simply about checking if the shape of your cover still matches the shape of your life today. Sometimes the best result of a review is the simple confirmation: "You’re in good shape."

Is it time to get clear?

Same Loan. Very Different Feelings.

Two people. Same loan amount. Similar interest rate. Completely different experiences every fortnight.

One feels manageable — there is breathing room, the repayments fit around how they actually get paid, and there is a small buffer for the unexpected.

The other feels like a squeeze — not because they borrowed too much, but because the structure was never set up to match their real life.

That is the part most people do not think about until they are already feeling it.
Getting the structure right from the start — fixed, floating, split, repayment frequency — makes a genuine difference to how your mortgage sits day to day.

Riaan can help you work through what actually fits your situation.

It Won't Happen to Me... Until it Does.

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but statistics do not lie. Critical illnesses like cancer, heart attacks, and strokes affect thousands of New Zealand families every year.

Trauma Insurance provides a lump sum cash payment if you suffer a major medical event. It is not for the doctors—it is for you.

Use it to pay off the mortgage, fund alternative treatments, or simply take a year off work to recover without financial panic. It buys you the one thing you need most: Time.
