EXPERT IN DEALING WITH ALL ASPECTS OF RESIDENTIAL INSURANCE
Different aspects of residential insurance are
-
Homeowners: Damage to your home can be costly. Home insurance in Orleans helps protect your investment against unexpected expenses. We offer a variety of policy forms, such as comprehensive, broad, and named perils. You can opt for optional coverages (sewer back-up, earthquake, etc.) to provide additional protection and peace of mind.
-
Condos: Condominium insurance covers specific aspects of your property, its contents, your living expenses and personal liability. We can help you understand what the condominium corporation is responsible for and what you need to insure.
-
Tenants/renters: As a tenant, even the most minor damage to your residence can be a costly loss. Tenant insurance protects you financially against any damage to your furniture, clothing and other personal property inside your rented space. It also takes care of your living expenses and liability claims.
-
Rented dwellings and condos: Renting out your home can be problematic if not insured properly. Investing in a specialized insurance policy that will protect you, your rental income, and your property is wise.
-
Seasonal dwellings: Insuring your seasonal dwelling (cottage) is essential. We can guide you in selecting the most appropriate coverage based on how often you live in this secondary home and whether you rent it out at any time.
IMPORTANCE OF HOME INSURANCE
Investing in home insurance in Orleans is not always a legal requirement, but it holds significant importance, especially when securing a mortgage. Most banks demand proof of home insurance during the mortgage approval process to protect their financial interest in your property. Without insurance, you risk being unable to repay the loan in case of unforeseen events like a fire. Home insurance in Orleans acts as a safeguard, maintaining an "insurable interest" for the lender and ensuring reimbursement even if policy conditions are violated.
​
Beyond meeting the bank's requirements, here are key reasons to consider home insurance:
-
Mortgage approval: Banks often require proof of home insurance before approving a mortgage, protecting their interest in case of property damage.
-
Hazard protection: Home insurance shields your property from various hazards, including fire, water damage, vandalism, and theft, providing coverage for recovery.
-
Liability coverage: In case of accidents or negligence causing harm to your property, home insurance covers personal liability.
-
Temporary housing: If your property becomes uninhabitable due to an insured disaster, your insurance policy covers temporary housing and additional expenses incurred during relocation.
-
Peace of mind: Having home insurance offers reassurance, ensuring you're not solely responsible for the financial consequences of unexpected events.
