Beginners Guide To Home Insurance

by Administrator 19. April 2018 07:25

Our home is one of the most valuable asset that we own. Buying a home involves a lot of money and emotions. With so much at stake, it is wise to get your home and belongings insured against losses that might arise due to natural calamities, thefts, fire etc. Even mortgage companies prefer buyers who have insurance coverage on their homes.

Why Buy Home Insurance?

Home insurance is bought for property coverage, liability coverage and for mortgage lenders. It covers your home’s physical structure and personal property in it. It covers your personal legal responsibility for a third party who could have been injured or killed on your property premises. It is also easier for you to get a loan on the basis of home insurance.

What Does A Home Insurance Policy Cover?

The following perils are generally covered:

  • Theft/vandalism
  • Loss due to civil unrest
  • Fire & smoke
  • Windstorms, thunderstorms, hail etc.


What Is Not Covered?

The following perils are usually not included in the basic coverage:

  • Floods
  • Day to day wear and tear
  • Deliberate damage

  • A good credit history
