Home Insurance

Home Insurance

The home could be one of the biggest purchases one may ever make and it also provides safe haven for the entire family, one’s possessions, etc. With this in mind and regardless of whether it’s mortgaged or owned outright, it’s important to protect it against known risks such as fire, subsidence, impart, flooding and many more. Burglary could also cause lose to some valuable possessions you may find it difficult to replace either immediately or in a long while.

How to choose the best insurance plan
(Life & Health policies especially)

1. First, understand your requirements (future financial needs, your child’s education, marriage, or some other requirement).
2. Second, calculate how much premium you can pay every month or quarterly or half-yearly or annually.
3. See what benefits the Plan gives (each insurance company gives different benefits, so compare).
4. Decide on the tenure of the Plan.
5. See whether it is value for your hard earned money.
6. Decide the Sum Assured, the more the sum assured, the more the benefits.
7. Read the Terms and Conditions of the Plan.
8. Find out how prompt the insurance company is in settlement of claims for the plan.

What is insurance excess / deductible?
The ‘excess’ or ‘deductible’ on an insurance policy is the initial portion of the costs that the policyholder would have to pay in the event of an insurance claim.

An example; If a motorist had a car insurance policy that has a policy excess of 10% and files in a claim for damage to his/her vehicle amounting to GH¢10,000, he/she would have to cover the first GH¢1,000 (ie.10% of the claim amount), with the insurer covering the remaining GH¢9,000.

It is possible to opt for zero excess or buy the excess off…however; the insurer has the prerogative in accepting or even increase it depending on the risk in question.

What is an insurance policy?
An insurance policy is the nature of contract in question… where an individual gets financial protection or gets insured against any losses of property or other assets from an insurance company.
What is a quote?
A quote or quotation is basically an estimate of what you are required to pay as a premium to get that insurance policy. This quote can change or be negotiated by both the insurer and the insured. The agreed value becomes the ultimate premium of the policy.
