Key home insurance tips you need to know

12 July 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

Purchasing a home and other home valuables takes serious financial investment. It is for this reason that buyers must ensure homes and other contents are sufficiently covered in order to avoid losing them all in the event of loss or damage caused by fire, theft or natural disasters like floods. Here are some key home insurance tips.

Be aware of upselling mortgage broker

Many banks and building societies encourage borrowers to take out home insurance that is tied in with their mortgage but you may find you are paying more than if you researched the market and insured through a broker. It’s always worth looking for a policy that suits you best and provides the best value.

Estimates

Always ensure that you have accurate estimates for both the re-build cost of your home and the replacement cost of all contents you had in mind when taking out the policy in the first place.

Insure for full replacement value

Remember that this is not the same as the market value. The value of the land on which the house stands is excluded from the calculation of the replacement value of the actual building of the house.

Increase your excess

If you increase the amount you pay in excess, your monthly premiums will decrease. This means you’re taking more of the risk on yourself. Make sure you can afford to pay your excess, though, otherwise you negate the insurance.

Compare deductibles

The deductible is the amount you have to pay out of pocket on each claim and applies only to coverage on your house and personal property. Make sure when choosing a policy that you are comfortable paying the deductible if you make a claim.
