When you build a house of your dream, you will want to insure it also. A home is the biggest and the most expensive investment for most of us and protecting it against any damage or theft is a good choice.

But often people wonder if insuring their house is worth or not. The cost of insurance can make anyone think twice about the same.

We discuss how to ensure your house right:

Choose the right insurance

Insurance companies work on selling the insurance to the buyers and most often they will try you to buy the insurance that exceeds your needs. However, if in case of any loss, the company will pay only what is required to be paid under the circumstances. It is up to the buyer to make the right move and buy the insurance that fits their needs perfectly.

Increase your deductibles

The deductible amount is the amount that the buyer agrees to pay himself in case of any loss. Raising the deductible amount reduces your premium, and the liability of the buyer decreases. For example, if the buyer has a premium of Rs 30 lacs and the deductible if the insurance company pays rs 1 lac, then any loss exceeding Rs 1 lac. However, be careful while raining the deductible of the insurance. It should be to a limit where the buyer does not have to pay a lot from his pocket, and the insurance is not meaningless.

Keep your company in the loop

As a homeowner, you would know the areas that can cause issues in the future. It is better if you have already informed about the same to the insurance. Keeping such information from the insurance company can affect your credibility, and the insurer may act difficult to pay for the damages.

Put the necessary effort

Prevention is better than cure. Installing anti-theft equipment, building earthquake-resistant homes, installing fire extinguishers is one of the more natural ways to lower your insurance premium as you are taking the necessary steps to prevent any future damage.

Ask for discounts

The insurance companies offer discounts to medical professionals, CA, CS and employed personnel. It is better to ask the insurance company regarding the same.

Compare the plans

Many companies in the market offer insurance. Some of them also offer other benefits when you buy home insurance. It is better to compare the various insurances before opting for the one.
 
It is often beneficial to stick with one insurance company and not move from one to another every year. Some companies offer discounts and other benefits if you have multiple insurance with them.
 
It is advised that the buyer should take informed decision and gauge the impact it will have on his financials when he opts for the insurance.
