New Owner’s Home Insurance: What You Need To Know
Home insurance has exclusions
You may feel as though your home is completely protected from anything that might happen to it when you purchase your first home insurance. That feeling is misplaced. Unfortunately, there are quite a few things that could happen that won’t be covered. Home insurance does not cover flooding, earth movement, any kind of owner neglect, and sewer backup. Most of these things can be covered by a rider or an additional policy.
You have to choose the type of property coverage you want
Two types of content coverage are offered. You can choose to replace all the things you own at their current value, which includes depreciation, or you can cover them at the cost today to replace them with a similar item.
How much liability insurance is enough?
Your liability coverage should reflect your level of risk and the number of assets that you have. One size fits all is definitely not the right route to take with this coverage.
Some coverage has limits
When it comes to some of the things that you own, like jewelry, your policy will not cover unlimited amounts. If you have more than just an engagement ring, your coverage will probably be inadequate and you need to add a jewelry rider.
