Homeowners insurance

Homeowners insurance is a good additionto the mandatory fire insurance. Homeowners insurance provides comprehensive protection against unexpected and sudden events that lead to property damage. Damage to real estate is often very costly, so it is good to know that Homeowners Insurance is available in the event of loss.
  • The insurance covers, among other things, damage due to water leakage from pipes, damage caused by burglary or attempted burglary, if windows are broken and if damage is caused by bad weather. The insurance also covers damage that occurs if stovetops or sanitary appli­ances break due to unexpected and sudden accidents.

  • The homeowners Insurance does not cover furniture or movables that are in the property. Furn­is­hings and other movables must be insured separa­tely under the F-Plus family insurance or the personal possessions Insurance in the case of precious items.

  • If you have homeowners insurance and are consi­dering selling your existing property and buying a new one, please be advised that Homeowners Insurance is not autom­atically trans­ferred between properties you own. It is important to make sure that the new property has the insurance coverage you want.

  • If you are moving from an apart­ment to a detached house, we suggest you consider purchasing homeowners insurance. Homeowners' associations often have joint homeowners insurance for all the apart­ments in the building and people who are moving out of apart­ment build­ings often do not realise the benefits of insuring their detached homes with Homeowners Insurance. Please contact us if anything is unclear and we will assist you.
