An important point to note for home owners renewing your home insurance –

Always insure your home for the rebuild value, NEVER the resale value.

Fire Damage Insurance Assessors

I have had a house fire, what do I do now?

Did you know – Most home insurance policies are subject to a condition called “Average”.

This means that in the event of making a home insurance claim, your settlement payout is reduced proportionate to the level of under insurance if the Sum Insured, at the time of loss or damage, is less than the full value.

In other words, if your home is underinsured by approximately 25%, this means that your insurance company can deduct 25% off any claim payout you may have!!!

It is vital that you re-assess the level of cover on your home every year, based on current rebuilding costs, making allowance for any improvements or extensions that you may have made since your last
renewal date. For further information, visit the SCSI website for current rebuild costs
