HOME INSURANCE

What is home Insurance
Home insurance breaks down into two distinct types: buildings insurance and contents insurance. You can buy a single policy that covers you for both, but it’s best to treat them as two separate policies: the cheapest insurer on the house might not be the cheapest for the contents.

What is homeowner insurance?

Homeowners is one of the most popular forms of personal insurance on the market. The typical homeowners policy has two main sections: Section I covers your property, and Section II provides personal liability coverage (to cover you in case of lawsuits arising from things that happen on your property). Almost anyone who owns or leases property should have this type of insurance. Often, homeowners insurance is required by lenders as a requirement to obtain a mortgage.

What is Condoowner Insurance?

A condominium combines the convenience of apartment living with the investment advantage of ownership. This form of ownership may create some unique insurance challenges.

You insurance agent offer a policy specifically designed for individual condominium unit owners. Condo Unit Owner policy is for the customer who owns and occupies (at least part of the year) a dwelling unit in a structure owned and insured by a Condominium Association, a Townhome Association, a Cooperative, a Homeowner Association, a Planned Community or similar types of organizations.

In many instances, the condominium/association entity assumes responsibility for insuring certain types of damage to the dwelling structure. When the condominium/association insures the structure, a unit owner policy is normally written to cover the unit owner.

In other instances, the condominium/association does not insure the structure. In this situation, a homeowner’s policy would be written for the unit owner, just as it would be for an insured person with a conventional home.
