Common Home Insurance Questions
How does home insurance work?
When you buy a home, you have an investment in that property. But if something comes along to damage the home or challenge your financial security, then you might worry about your ability to keep both the property and your finances safe and secure. Homeowners insurance will act as the solution to your concerns.
By helping you pay the costs of unexpected, unavoidable hazards on your property, home insurance lowers your personal burden for these issues. With it, you will still have the reassurance that you have help if a problem ever occurs on your property, and that’s a great feeling of security.
What does home insurance cover?
Your home might face damage from fires or severe weather. An uninvited guest might break in and still your belongings or vandalize the home. Someone might sue you over the fact that they got hurt on your property, or because you damaged your belongings. A properly designed homeowners insurance policy can help you cover the results of challenges like these by providing benefits like:
-
Structure protection: This insures your house in the event of damage from fires, weather, theft, vandalism or other hazards.
-
Detached structures coverage: Other buildings on your property – such as fences, carports, gazebos and detached garages - will have coverage.
-
Possessions insurance: This pays for damaged belongings. Protection might cover everything from furniture to food in the pantry and computer systems.
-
Liability coverage: If you accidentally harm someone else or damage their property, you can use this coverage to repay them. Coverage will often pay for incidents both on and off your property.
-
Additional living expense protection: Do you need to move out temporarily after household damage? Let this coverage reimburse you for expenses like dining or hotel bills.
Plus, you can customize your policy further with other benefits like:
Most mortgage lenders require their loan applicants to buy a policy before they can finalize the deal. However, even if you have no requirement to buy coverage, you still can benefit from this essential piece of financial protection.
