Home Owner Insurance - Get Much Lower Rates

35
In your search for lower rates, there are things you need to know to look out for.
It is not just enough to get a home insurance policy.
The big question is, do you really know what your insurance policy is about? Do you know what is covered and what is not? You can only claim on things covered by your policy.
I guess you should already know that.
Do you think you got a great deal on your home insurance policy? I am happy for you.
But lets take look at that policy again.
Read thoroughly through the policy to make sure the exclusion section has not excluded things that are important.
One important factor that can increase or reduce your rates is the material with which the house is built.
People in the east would get some savings if they get a frame house which is resistant to earthquakes while people in the west would increase their cost by getting a brick house which is resistant to high winds.
There is a material considered to be best suitable for your area.
Getting a house with this material would save you over 5% in premiums.
Another mistake that most people make is insuring their house with the land it is built on.
What value does this add to you? Nothing.
It just increases your premium.
If you have already done this, get a review of your policy and make sure to subtract the value of the land from the insured items unless of course your land is in some form of danger.
Before buying a house, please make sure you get a CLUE (comprehensive loss underwriting exchange) report.
Getting this report would help you know things to avoid in other to get affordable home insurance rates.
A few points to note before getting your new home.
Get a home close to a fire hydrant and to a police station.
If it is farther away, your rates would be higher.
If you get a home in a town with only a volunteer fire service, sorry, you would have to pay more.
These and other details you would find in your CLUE report would help you get affordable home insurance coverage.
Taking adequate safety measure like removing items like ladders or other equipment that could help would be thieves in their enterprise would be a great step towards getting lower rates.
Finally, getting enough quotes to compare would help you make the best decision by giving you more options thereby leading you towards more affordable home insurance rates.
Best of all, these quotes are free.
