Insurance Valuation
Insurance Valuation by Northbourne Valuers
Determining the right coverage for your property against potential risks and damages is crucial. Regularly updating insurance valuations ensures you and your home is always adequately covered.
When would I need a residential insurance valuation?
You would need a residential insurance valuation in the following situations:
When you first purchase homeowners insurance
Your insurance company will require a valuation to determine the appropriate amount of coverage for your home.
Every 3-5 years
Or more often if there have been significant changes to your home or the surrounding area. This is because the cost of rebuilding a home can fluctuate over time due to inflation, changes in construction costs, and other factors.
If you are making significant renovations to your home
This could include adding a new room, remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, or building a new deck.
If you are buying or selling your home
A valuation can be used to help determine the fair market value of your property.
If you are filing an insurance claim
Your insurance company will use the valuation to determine how much money to pay you to repair or replace your home.
- You are unsure whether your current insurance coverage is adequate.
- You are worried about being underinsured and having to pay out of pocket for the cost of rebuilding your home if it is damaged or destroyed.
- You are planning to make major renovations to your home and want to make sure that your insurance coverage is up to date.
- You are thinking about selling your home and want to have a valuation on hand to provide to potential buyers.
