Worst Case Scenario: Will Your Home Buildings Insurance Cover You?

Nobody likes to consider the ramifications of a worst case scenario, least of all the financial consequence. However, did you know that if a major storm (of the likes we experienced in the UK in the late 1980s) struck the UK today, almost one-half of all homes in the UK would have inadequate home buildings insurance to cover the cost of repairs!

Term Life Insurance Policy Valuation of your home buildings insurance - is it being done correctly?

Your mortgage lender will probably be very keen to sell you insurance alongside a mortgage. Some lenders will insist that you take out mortgage life cover which pays off your mortgage should you die. They will want to sell you building and contents insurance as well. They may offer mortgage payment protection insurance too, which is designed to pay off your mortgage debt should you fall ill or become unemployed.

Life Insurance Before you consider the value of your home, ask yourself a quick couple of questions:
- what is the principal reason why you have home buildings insurance?
- who assess the value of your home buildings insurance?

Even damage from leaking pipes is covered by building insurance.

Insurance Life Premium In most cases, the answer to the first question is you need to have home buildings insurance because it is a requirement under your mortgage agreement. The answer to your second question is also likely to be your home mortgage provider, because they feel they know the value of your home better than you do. So, what's the problem? Well, the problem is, each year your home mortgage is going down, but hopefully the value of your home is going up. As your insurance is principally to cover your outstanding mortgage, a disparity - between the value of your home and the outstanding mortgage amount - will rapidly arise. Therefore, it is vital that you keep control of valuing your home for home buildings insurance purposes and always ensure that the insurance relates to the actual value of your home, not the outstanding mortgage amount.

Health Insurance Policy Improvements to your home - are they being included?

  • Insurance You must in all cases take out adequate travel insurance through the company, the travel agent or other approved insurance supplier.

Health Insurance Likely as not, over time you are going to do some building work to your home. Maybe you'll add an extension. Put in a greenhouse. Add a conservatory. Etc. The question is - are all of these add-ons being included in the additional value they bring to your home, or are you only continuing to insure the main part of the home that was part of the original policy?

Following on from revelations that consumers prefer to insure their mobile phones rather than choosing life insurance, Legal General have today confirmed that some segments of the population could actually get life insurance cover for the same cost as insuring a mobile phone . The insurance company found that whilst 66 per cent of people had home insurance, just 41 per cent had life insurance . The company found that a woman aged 30 who didn’t smoke could purchase life cover for the same price as a monthly mobile phone insurance premium .

Insurance Life Premium Return Increased costs - have you factored these in?

Whole Life Insurance Policy Nearly every insurance policy comes with an excess amount. Essentially what this means is that you have to pay a threshold amount before you can claim against the insurance company. Fine, let's take an example: say you bought your home in 1980 and set the threshold amount at £500. Would you get more or less in materials and labour today if you were still maintaining an excess sum of £500? Answer, far less and you'd be claiming on your insurance far sooner, which in turn means your premiums are likely to be higher.
