​As far as insurance goes, homeowner's insurance is extremely necessary these days. Given the current unpredictable weather conditions and the chance of hazards while you are away from home on personal or official work, having homeowner's insurance can be a great thing.

To many people, homeowner's insurance is unnecessary. This is because they consider it as more of an unnecessary expense. However, one should not be looking at it in this way. After all, the amount that you pay every month as home insurance premium is a very reasonable one.

In return you get valuable protection. Those who secure a home mortgage generally have to secure a homeowner's insurance as part of the mortgage process. The lender generally requires this. With this policy, one's house is covered for all basic accidents.

COVERAGE PROVIDED BY HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE

In the case of standard policies, here are some of the things that get covered:

- Coverage for losses due to damages to your home's structure -- Any damages to the structure of the house will be covered by the homeowner's insurance. This includes damages caused by lightning, fire, hailstorm, snow storm, theft, vandalism, and leaks from the plumbing, as well as frozen plumbing.

- Coverage for losses on personal belongings -- Home insurance will provide coverage for the loss of personal belongings. This would comprise TVs, furniture, bathroom fittings and the like. This coverage usually ranges from 50% to 75% of your home's structure coverage.

- Provides for temporary living expenses -- In the event that your home is damaged and is getting repaired, you might need to temporarily live elsewhere. If such a thing did happen, you could rest assured that the accommodation expenses that you incur would be paid for by the policy.

- Provides for Personal Liability Coverage - If someone who visited you happened to have an accident in your home, where you were an inadvertent cause, he may sue you for damages. Most standard home insurance policies take it upon themselves to pay these legal fees.

Do I need a Flood Policy?

When new maps are issued, your risk may have changed as well - along with your flood insurance requirements.

However, there is usually a six- to twelve-month period between the time the new “preliminary” maps are issued and the time that they are implemented.

This gives you adequate time to protect your property and, possibly, save on flood insurance. 

If your property is mapped out of a high-risk area, your flood insurance costs will likely decrease.  

If you’ve been mapped into a high-risk area, you will be required to purchase flood insurance if your mortgage is through a federally regulated or insured lender.  

​However, you can save money through a process known as "grandfathering."  You can take advantage of grandfathering by obtaining a policy before the new maps take effect.  

You’ll likely qualify for the NFIP Preferred Risk Policy (PRP), which covers buildings and their contents for as little as $119 for the first year.  

On renewal, you will qualify for the standard rates associated with moderate-to-low risk zones, rather than high-risk zones. 

Who Is Covered  Your policy covers more than just the person listed as the primary insured. Under the coverage for personal property and liability, others may be covered including: your spouse (if he/she is not listed with you as primary insured); residents (your children or anyone else residing in your home under the age of 21 in the care of any member of your family); employees (housekeepers, au pairs, or gardeners); or guests and other visitors, provided you contact your insurance company to request coverage.

Homeowner's Insurance

Homeowner's Insurance


​When you purchase a home owner insurance policy designed to compensate you for the costs of rebuilding your home, you are getting just that – the amount of money needed to rebuild your home. So, you and your home owner insurance company are going to have to figure out what that amount of money is and settle on a home owner insurance quote – monthly, quarterly, or annually paid premiums. However, when taking into account the value of the home, many home owners often make the mistake of including the land on which the home sits.

​The amount you are asked to pay when you ask for a quote for home insurance is determined by how big a risk the company think you are. In giving you a quote they take into account many things, such as how secure your property is, the area in which you live and the cost of the possessions that they would have to pay to replace if some mishap occurred. However there are ways in which you can help to lower the premium quoted with the biggest being shopping around either yourself or with a broker’s help, for a policy.

When looking for insurance make sure that you get at least four or five quotes from different companies as policies and premiums do vary from company to company. All policies are different and will have exclusions within them, so it is essential that you understand what you are and are not covered for.

Where you live will affect the price that you have to pay for your insurance, while you cannot change your address there are some things you can do to help lower the cost of your insurance. Installing more security is one of the best ways you can reduce the premium, insurance companies will list certain brands of alarms for instance which are considered the best and by having these you can cut the cost of your premium. 
 
If you are thinking of making any big home improvements such as adding a conservatory then take this into account, the more value that you add onto the property then the higher the premium will be. Also take into account any patio furniture or garden equipment which is kept outside, some policies will include this in their policy while others insist that you take an addition to the policy in order to cover them.

If you have items in your home which are of particular value then make a note of these, any items which are classed as antique or say any collections such as records or art, might not be included in your policy unless you have particularly stated these at the out set of the policy. 

Also check if computer equipment is covered in the policy, if you have more than one home computer then they might need adding to the policy as extras, some policies say that computer equipment such as printers and scanners are classed as commercial or business equipment and as such are not covered by the standard policy.

​If you are in the market for a home owner insurance policy, but just can not seem to find a quote that is both cheap and adequate, you might be making the same often overlooked mistake that many home owners make when purchasing home owner insurance – you may be confusing factors that are not related to your home’s rebuilding costs.
