Advice. No Pressure. No Cost.
Hi Neighbours,
Insurance. Why do we hate talking about it so much? When the time comes and we need it, those who have it thank themselves every day that they had the forethought to organise it properly.
Life insurance, cancer cover, medical plans, income protection in case you can't work. How much cover to have, level premiums, what do you already have, how does it all fit together. There's a lot of options and choices.
We would like to offer you advice. No pressure. No cost to you. You choose to buy or you don't.
We help you work out how much, what type, which company. We will show you the market's cheapest and most expensive and everything in-between. We will explain the differences and the benefits of each one to you. And then I will show you completely independent analysis that rates and ranks every option for you.
Then you decide. Take it all, choose some parts only, have none of it. Or get us to re-do it all with different figures or cover types. We won't mind. It's all about you.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
