Tips For Your Household Content Insurance

Assess You Belongings

Make an inventory of all your possessions, including furniture, electronics, jewellery, and other valuable items. Knowing the value and extent of your belongings will help you determine the coverage needed.

Understand Policy Coverage

Different policies offer varying levels of coverage. Ensure you understand what the policy covers and any exclusions. Common coverage includes theft, fire, water damage, natural disasters, and accidental damage.

Inform Your Insurance of Changes

Notify your insurance provider of any significant changes in your household, such as new high-value purchases or renovations. This ensures your policy remains adequate for your needs.

Coverage Limits

Check for any limits on specific items, such as expensive jewellery, electronics, or artwork. You might need additional coverage, known as rider or floater, for high-value items that exceed these limits.

Keep Documentation

Maintain records of your possessions, including receipts, appraisals, serial numbers, and photographs. This documentation can expedite the claims process.

Regularly Review and Update

Review your policy annually or when significant changes occur in your household to ensure you have adequate coverage. Life changes, such as moving, buying new items, or downsizing, can impact your insurance needs.
