Insurance Reinstatement Appraisal
A reinstatement cost refers to the cost of reinstating a building or property if it was to be destroyed or damaged beyond repair (e.g. fire damage). The majority of homeowners are unaware of the true reinstatement cost of their home, which may mean they are considerably under or over-insured. The building sum insured is the maximum amount your insurer will pay out for any claim, therefore, it is important that this amount is adequate and accurate.
The reinstatement cost of two similar style properties of the same size can have a significant variation, with age, type of construction and quality of fittings having a major impact.
Underinsured:
In the event of a claim; if you are underinsured, payment for repair or reinstatement will not cover the total cost. Unfortunately, this is normally only discovered in the event of a claim.
Overinsured:
If you are overinsured, you are likely to be paying a higher than necessary premium, which can go unrecognised for years.
