Urgent Warning to
Homeowners -
Forewarned is Forearmed
Getting the most from your house
insurance
Review your current insurance policy for your home
or property as a matter of urgency, because it will be too late after an
accident, incident or disaster happens.
Contact your insurance provider or broker and check
that the policy is active, up to date and index linked so that proper
and adequate cover is maintained.
Ensure that buildings are insured for the full cost
of rebuilding and that current contents are adequately covered. If you
undervalue and underinsure you won’t get full value in the event of a
claim and if you over insure you pay extra premium without getting any
extra benefit. Honesty is the best policy; inform the insurer of all
relevant factors which may affect the risk, otherwise giving incomplete
or inaccurate information may result in the insurers deciding that you
don’t have cover in the event of a claim. Remember that the main
responsibility rests with the building or homeowner, not the insurance
company to ensure that the insurance policy in place is adequate and
appropriate.
Why employ a loss assessor to work
on your behalf?
By employing a “Claims Assist” assessor, you are
retaining the services of a professional to look after your best
interests when dealing with the insurance company and get the most money
possible for your claim within the terms of the policy. The loss
adjuster employed by the insurance company is acting in their best
interests, which means paying out as little as possible under the policy
terms.
If you don’t employ an assessor and omit to include
some items of loss or expense or don’t realise the extent or cost of
consequential damage, then the insurance company or their loss adjuster
are under no obligation to advise you of these facts and you will
therefore miss out on payment to which you should be entitled.
