Why choose MHIA? Understanding the value of specialised cover

If you live in a land lease community, or you’re thinking about making the move, you likely already know it’s a little different to traditional homeownership.

The pace is right for this time in your retirement journey, your home is a comfortable size to suit your needs and the lifestyle is more relaxed.

It makes sense that your insurance should be different too.

At MHIA, we specialise in insurance for land lease residents, cabin and caravan owners and long-term park dwellers. We’ve spent 30 years listening to home owners and we’ve designed insurance products designed around your way of life.

What does ‘specialised cover’ really mean?

Specialised insurance is cover specifically designed for the kind of home you live in and the lifestyle you lead. There’s no one-size-fits-all product that leaves gaps in your protection, covers things you don’t need or makes claiming harder than it should be.

Whether you live in a manufactured home, relocatable home, fixed caravan or cabin, we’ve built our cover to suit your needs. Depending on your policy, this includes:

  • Protection for your home and contents – including things like annexes, carports, sheds and decks.
  • Flexible cover options – depending on the age and type of home
  • Peace of mind – knowing your policy matches your real-life risks

With MHIA, there’s no need to explain what kind of home you live in or wonder whether your policy covers it. We already know and we’ve got you covered.

We know land lease living inside out

If you’ve ever tried to explain your home to a standard insurer, you’ll understand the difference straight away. Many ordinary insurers do not cover land lease or manufactured homes. Or they do, but with limitations that can leave you exposed.

At MHIA, land lease living isn’t a grey area. It’s our whole focus.

We understand that your home might be factory-built, that you might lease the land but own the structure, and that your lifestyle might include a few grey nomad getaways or seasonal sojourns.

And those are exactly the reasons our policies are:

  • Tailored to suit different site types and park rules
  • Backed by deep experience with park managers and community living
  • Trusted by residents and community owners across Australia

When we say we know your world, we mean it. And that makes all the difference when it matters most – like at claim time.

Claims support that puts people first

We pride ourselves on taking care of our customers the way we’d want to be looked after. That means simple, supportive claims processes, friendly help when you need it, and a genuine commitment to getting you back on your feet.

We understand that if something happens to your home, it’s more than just a claim. It’s your safety, your memories and your peace of mind on the line.

Our dedicated claims team is:

  • Easy to reach by phone or online
  • Focused on fast, fair outcomes
  • Experienced in land lease claims

You will not need to educate us about your living situation. You will not need to fight to be heard. You will not be treated like a number.

Cover that fits your life – not the other way around

Every land lease home is different. Some are cosy and compact, while others are custom-built with all the extras. Some are near the beach, others are tucked away in the bush. Many are lived in full-time, while others are used seasonally or as part of a travel lifestyle as can be the case with cabins or onsite caravans.

We’ve designed our policies to flex with your life, so you can:

  • Add or update cover as your home or contents change
  • Stay covered while you travel (depending on policy terms)
  • Feel confident your insurance is keeping pace with your lifestyle

Because we’re specialists, we ask the right questions up front – and give you clear answers in return.

Why MHIA?

We’re not the biggest. We don’t have the flashy, expensive TV ads. But we are the most experienced in our field. And we believe that matters.

We’ve been protecting homes in land lease communities and parks for over 30 years. We’ve seen cyclones, fires, floods and thefts – and we’ve helped people recover from all of it.

When you choose MHIA, you choose:

  • Real people who understand your needs
  • Products tailored to land lease living
  • Support when it matters most
  • A long-term insurance partner who speaks your language

MHIA insurance is designed for your home and your way of life

Standard home and contents insurance is created for standard homes. If your home is anything but standard, it makes sense to insure with someone who gets it.
