Why Home Insurance?

By Jon Elton

Many people used to ask the question repeatedly again and again, why home insurance? They in general out there with so many arguments against the home insurance. But I found all of them would be having same types of reasoning to argue why we need not go for home insurance. They will tell like this. See my area where I am staying for last two decades, nothing untoward instance have happened. There were no earthquake, there were no floods, there were no fire, there were no vandalism, and our area is very calm without any terrorist attacks and so on. And after all they will suggest that home insurance is not at all required, why to spend dollars from your wallet year by year.

All the above are correct, but when I ask them back, what you will do if your house is got damaged or destroyed by some reason? Are you 100% assured that your area would not be affected by any one of these eventualities? I simply asked then did any of us believed that, at least in dream, such an attack would have happened on 9/11. Do you think that your earth under your foot not having any earthquake genes in it? Is it not true that a cyclone like Katrina can occur at any time, irrespective of your prediction? If just a flood happens, what will be the status of your dream home? Who can rule out an angry mob coming and vandalizing all homes they come across? At least can you assure that a firebreak out will not happen at all in the home? Is it not enough a simple lighting or electric short circuit?

There was only one answer. The chance of coming such an eventuality is very less. True, but if any of such eventuality happened do you want to go with an empty wallet and a huge mortgage credit on your head? Is it not a right approach to insure the home for an equal amount of the cost of your home? You have to make a premium payment for the sum insured, which will be a much less amount comparing the amount of the policy insured. In case of a worst catastrophe, you stand to gain much; you can get back another dream home with the insured amount. If no eventuality happens, thank God and nature; you are just losing only a minimal amount. This minimal amount will assure you a perfect sleep, without any stress about the home and its contents.

Home insurance is a necessary protective precaution every one has to take to safeguard the hard earned money invested in the home. You must have taken huge amount as mortgage loan to acquire your dream home. Home insurance can only assure you from the credit debt like mortgage loans and other personal loans in case of any natural eventualities. It is imperative to go for insurance, make sure that you insure your home equivalent to an amount by which you can rebuild a dream home. Are you not clear now, why you require your house to be insured?

Home Content Insurance Cover Online

By Jon Elton

Many people are out there looking for home insurance cover online. It is better always to have pre-knowledge of what types of insurance covers are available for home. Basically there are two kinds of schemes regarding the home insurance. One of them purely deals with the materials inside or contents of the home, like TV, fridge, computers, washers and so on. If any theft or losing of the household properties occur this type of insurance cover is applicable. The other type of insurance specifically deal with the insurance of home itself, I can say the structure of house. If any damage happens to the structure of the house the second kind of house insurance will be applicable.

All insurance companies offer you, whether online or offline, both kinds of insurance cover, individually or jointly. In most of the cases, like when your property is mortgaged, the house insurances are inevitable. Home content insurance is required depending on the personal requirements or as a result of the loans taken for the purchase of the home contents. You can take the insurances individually for each or jointly combining home insurance and home content insurance together. The second option of joint insurance scheme will be beneficial to the customers, if the customer plans to have both. In general home content policy covers all items that can be taken with you from one place to another. Home insurance policy covers all the items or parts of the house, which are immovable.

While considering the home content insurance, you must take into account certain criteria. It is better always to insure the home contents as there are always threats of theft, vandalism or natural disasters like flood, lightning and severe electric shortage. There are many insurance schemes covering all such types of eventualities. The insurance cover assures the maintenance and replacement of the items, if required, in case of a warranted situation. For each and every item in your house can be insured for certain amount depending up on their original cost, guaranteed life and depreciation. It is highly advisable to get the maximum insurance cover considering its worth, do not go for lower policies. Also you should not spike up the policy amount as the payment you have to make may go insane.

Often it is a practice that insurance companies offer wide range of eventualities on which the insurance covers is effective. I would like to caution you to go through the terms and conditions, the list of eventualities and the details of claim amounts for each of the items before entering into a contract with any online insurance company. As the coverage eventualities are more the more you have to pay as premium. Most of the eventualities are of no concern for you. So you should avoid such options to reduce the payments on insurance coverage.

There are many online insurance companies ready to help you in insuring the home contents as well as home. To get a best deal my advice for you is to get insurance quotes from many online sites and select a proper company for home insurance with minimal payments.
