Get Help With Your Denied or Rejected Home Insurance Claim
If your insurer has delayed, denied or lowballed your home or contents claim, we’ll help you challenge the outcome and get what you’re owed.
When your home or belongings are damaged, insurance claims can quickly become overwhelming. Whether you’re dealing with delays, denials, lowball offers, or an AFCA complaint, we help you respond with confidence and clarity.
Why Was My Home Insurance Claim Denied?
Every day, we speak to Australians whose home or contents insurance claims have been delayed, underpaid, or rejected entirely. If this has happened to you, it’s not always the end of the road. Understanding why your claim was denied is the first step to challenging the outcome.
Policy exclusions
Your insurer may argue the damage isn’t covered under your policy. We'll review the fine print and request any missing documents to challenge this decision if we believe it's incorrect.
Alleged non-disclosure
Insurers sometimes deny claims by saying you failed to disclose important information when you signed up. We’ll review their reasoning and help respond with the right context and evidence.
Disputed liability
If the insurer believes you were at fault, they may reject or reduce your claim. We can help push back with supporting evidence and escalate the case if necessary.
Missing documents?
Missing reports, unclear photos, or delays in paperwork can result in rejections. We help you gather everything needed to build a clear and compelling case.

What We See Every Day
Common Home Insurance Claim Problems We Help Fix
Denied, delayed, or underpaid home and contents insurance claims can go off track fast. At Claimhouse, we specialise in helping Australians navigate complex insurance disputes and push back when things don’t go to plan. Here are some of the most common issues we resolve.
Claim Delays and Lack of Action
When insurers drag their feet, damage can escalate. Mould spreads, structures deteriorate, and repair costs rise. We help move your home insurance claim forward before minor issues become expensive ones.
Insurance Claim Denied on Exclusions
Policies are often written with vague or confusing exclusions for things like defects, wear and tear, or maintenance. We review your policy wording and challenge denied home insurance claims based on unfair or misapplied exclusions.
Low Payout or Cash Settlement Offers
If you’ve been offered a contents or home insurance payout that feels too low, we can help. Many settlement offers fall short of the true cost to repair or replace. We review the offer and advocate for the full amount you’re entitled to.
Poor Insurance Assessments
Insurer-appointed assessors often miss key details or underestimate damage. We check every report and scope of works, spot what's been overlooked, and push for an accurate and fair home insurance assessment.
Dispute Over Repairs or Contractor Work
If the insurer’s chosen repairer cuts corners or uses underqualified contractors, you don’t have to accept it. We help raise concerns and hold them accountable to the quality and standards outlined in your policy.
Incomplete or Missing Documentation
One of the most common reasons for a denied home insurance claim is paperwork. Insurers often reject or delay claims due to incomplete documentation, unclear evidence, or missed deadlines.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the common questions we receive about Home and Contents Insurance claims
Your insurer may reject your claim due to exclusions in the policy, missed disclosures, or a lack of evidence supporting your loss. Common reasons include maintenance issues, mould, wear and tear, or unclear policy wording. We assess your policy, the insurer’s reasoning, and help build a case if the decision was unfair.
You don’t have to accept the first cash settlement. If it’s not enough to cover the real cost of repair or replacement, you can challenge it. We review the offer, compare it with market value, and help negotiate a fairer outcome with the insurer or escalate it if needed.
Under Australian regulations, insurers must follow the General Insurance Code of Practice. They typically have 10 business days to confirm receipt and up to 30 days to make a decision, depending on the complexity of the claim. If these timelines are exceeded, we can escalate the issue.
Yes, if you've reached a dead-end with your insurer, you can lodge a complaint with AFCA (Australian Financial Complaints Authority). We can assist with preparing your complaint, submitting supporting evidence, and managing the process to increase your chance of success.
