What Is Home Insurance and Why Do I Need It?
Home insurance reimburses you for your financial loss arising from accidental losses. This includes things such as water damage, vandalism and fire. House insurance also ensures you are protected against legal actions arising from your personal actions or ownership of your property. It’s likely that you will require home insurance prior to purchasing a home. This is because most banks and mortgage companies will require home insurance before lending you money.
If you are renting, tenant’s insurance typically offers two kinds of coverages: liability and contents. Liability coverage will protect you from your personal actions that can be held responsible for damage to the building or injury to others who live or visit your rented premises. Contents coverage compensates you for loss or damage to your personal possessions from accidental losses which include fire, smoke and theft.
How Much Does Home Insurance Cost?
The cost of home insurance depends on the type of insurance coverage you choose and the additional protection options that you may add on.
Several factors affect the cost of property insurance:
- Location
- Deductible
- Contents
- Type of heating source
- Type of electrical distribution
- Pipes
- Age of roof
- Claims history
- Proximity to a fire hydrant or fire station
- Upgrades and renovations
If you’re looking for cheap home insurance, ensure that you are still getting the coverage that you need. Some property insurance companies may also increase your deductible to give you a lower rate. We recommend talking to your Champlain Insurance broker about this.
