Cheap Home Insurance Plans

What is Cheap Home Insurance? 

When you started driving, you must have received a lot of advice; one of the most common being to be careful and to look out for the obstacles on the road. It is what your neighbours and co-workers may brag about getting and urge you to get too. It’s also what you must absolutely stay away from. Trust us, we say this for your benefit. That’s because cheap Home Insurance defeats the very purpose of getting Insurance in the first place; it fails to protect you.

Picture this: A natural calamity strikes and ends up heavily damaging your house. You don’t panic, and why must you? You have Home Insurance, after all! But at the time of making a claim, you realize that the amount does not even cover 20% of the damages and you have to bear virtually the whole cost of repairs and reconstruction. That’s a situation you don’t want to be in, especially when you are investing in Home Insurance.

The lesser you pay, the lesser coverage you get and the lesser its helpfulness during your time of need. While hunting for a bargain is a fine art and the internet just widens the options available for cheap home insurance exponentially, any decision to buy must be based on a balanced risk assessment. Only looking at the cost angle is essentially denying yourself the very thing you’ve invested in Home Insurance for- peace of mind. Summing up, a comprehensive Home Insurance Policy (at premiums that you can afford) is the best way to go about it, as it guarantees sufficient coverage when you might need it the most.

Is There any Way I Can Lower My Premiums? 

Yes, of course. While we advise you to stay away from ‘cheap’ Home Insurance, we know that the more affordable it is, the better. So, hear us out: You don’t have to compromise on the coverage and neither do you have to pay unnecessarily high premiums. Listed below are a few helpful ways in which you can balance it out:

Step Up the Voluntary Excess 

When you’re buying the policy, voluntary excess or deductible is the amount you agree to pay from your own pocket at the time of making a claim before your Insurer takes over. Now, here’s the catch: The higher the voluntary excess, the lower is the premium.

This is a good way to lower your premium payments. However, you want to maintain a balance and not opt for an extremely high voluntary excess amount because you don’t want that to become a burden you can’t bear while making a claim.

Don’t Play the Guessing Game 

Don’t just take a shot in the dark when it comes to insuring your home. You need to know exactly what your house is worth so that you don’t end up dangerously under-insuring it or unnecessarily over-insuring it.

Assess the total value of the contents right. The same principle applies when it comes to insuring the structure as well. The expenses for rebuilding your property will, in all likelihood, be lower than what went into building it in the first place.

There are several online valuation tools that you can use and if those don’t seem convincing, you can look at hiring a professional appraiser, though that isn’t always necessary.

Avoid Unnecessary Add-ons 

Just like you’d avoid eggs if you don’t eat them, you should avoid add-on covers if you don’t need them. For instance, our Dog Insurance add-on cover is very useful for those with pet dogs but would be of practically no use to you if you don’t have a pet.

While add-ons provide a more comprehensive cover, they also increase your premium. So, you should be very careful while opting for those and choose only the ones that would be useful for you.

Install the Right Alarms and Other Fittings 

Undoubtedly, this is one of the best bets for discounted premiums on Home Insurance. With all the right fittings in your house (burglar alarms, smoke/fire alarms, safety locks and efficient security service, for that matter), you’d be upping your eligibility manifold for the best Home Insurance quotes.
