Question & Answers
Q. Do I have to pay an excess?
A. Yes. As with most insurance policies, an excess does apply and, in this case, the applicable excess is $400.00 This amount is generally deducted at the time of settlement.
Q. I am due to pay the next progress payment. What should I do?
A. You may be obliged to pay for work that has been completed at the time Coast To Coast Homes Pty Ltd (In Liquidation) went into liquidation. The amount due, including any surplus, will be established during the claims process.
