Setting in place risk preventative measures and procedures can dramatically reduce the chances of the claimed risk happening again, such as improved security systems and the latest fire alarms.

Accidental Damage Insurance can be made part of your Overseas Property Insurance package, and it covers you against any one-off accidents that have caused damage to your property or contents. This can be things such as a spill on the carpet that would pay for the replacement, or if damage was caused to the wall or nearby items while putting up the shelves, for example, that would pay for the cost of repair.

It’s not a legal requirement to have Buildings Insurance, however, if you are looking to get a mortgage for the property then this may be one of their requirements, as well if you have a leasehold arrangement. Although it’s not a legal requirement, it is highly advisable as damage to the property could be very costly to repair and could cause serious financial problems to get everything back to normal. That’s why having the right Overseas Property Insurance with the correct inclusive buildings cover will help you get everything back on track if anything unfortunate was to happen.

Yes, we are able to provide this cover as part of your Overseas Property Insurance package. Insurers will be looking at the type of high-value items you possess, the value, your location, any security measures you have in place to prevent any unfortunate circumstances. These are some of the factors that can fluctuate the premium to protect you against these kinds of claims.

The value of your buildings sum insured is calculated based on the cost of how much it would take to rebuild the property to you, rather than today’s market value. This would include the labour and the materials, especially if you are able to source the required work at a reduced cost. Don’t forget to take into account other areas such as design costs, legal fees, professional advice, planning, site clearance and removal expenses.

We are not professional valuers and do not offer that service. We would always recommend that you obtain a professional valuation on a regular basis to ensure that the sums insured are correct, up to date and in line with market conditions to avoid any risk of “under-insurance” in the event of a claim, which could affect the outcome of any payment.

If you are in any doubt regarding the value of your home or possessions, then always seek the advice of an experienced and qualified professional – and if any changes are subsequently required, then contact your insurance broker and/or provider to ensure that the levels of cover are accurate and appropriate.
