No doubt the easiest way to get insurance quotes is on the web.

Is it a good idea to put your home insurance into an escrow?

Some people are telling me yes and some people say that it’s a bad idea because your mortgage company can make your insurance payment late. What do you think? I’m a first time home buyer so I’m so lost. Thanks.

Been doing it for 20 years with no problem.

Can a home insurance company increase the amount of insurance on your house without your request?

Of course when the amount of insurance in increased, the insurance premium also increases. I have only $125,000 left on the mortgage and insurance company has increased the insurance to cover a value of $305,000. Real estate value of the home is $450,000. My credit rating is excellent and I have not had any insurance claims

Yes. Part of the policy condition is that you insure the home to either 80%, 90%, or 100% of the replacement value, on a standard HO3 Homeowners form. So, if you want the type of policy that is NOT a replacement policy, you’ll have to get a whole different kind of policy.

Of course, a FLAT RATE policy costs about ten times as much as a standard policy.

Real estate value, or market value, has NOTHING to do with the cost to rebuild. If the house burns to the ground, the insurance company does NOT have an option to "buy" it from you for the face amount – they are required to rebuild.

So, you can do it your way, and pay a way, way, way lot of money for a small amount of coverage, or you can do it the insurance company’s way, and insure to full replacement value, for less money.

Or, what most people like you prefer to do, is just get a personal loan for the balance of the mortgage, so you can pay off the mortgage, and not insure the house at all.

How to Choose an Insurance Company

Insurance is sold through four main channels in Canada.

Brokers- selling products of different insurance companies.

Agents- selling only the products of one insurance company.

Direct sellers- generally selling only the products of a particular company via telephone from call centres.

Group plans- sold either through the people above or through the workplace, alumni association, professional association, or other group affiliations.

If you want auto insurance, coverage for your home, condo or your belongings in a rental unit, or travel insurance, you will need a product (as they call insurance policies) from one of the approximately 213 private Property and Casualty (P & C) or general insurance companies. If you want life or health coverage, you will need a product from one of the about-100 Life companies. There are compulsory auto insurance plans, run by government, in British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan and, in Quebec, bodily injury in auto accidents is provided by the government insurer.

When you first set out to buy insurance, take a close look at your needs. For instance, consider your liability. If you drive a car or own a home, liability insurance will protect you for the liability you have for causing injury or death to other people or damage to their property. Consider your losses if you become sick or die; health and life insurance can protect you and your family against some of these losses. Be careful when considering coverage. For instance, except for Manitoba and Saskatchewan,insurance against damage to a vehicle is available on a voluntary basis. If this insurance is not purchased and the vehicle driver is totally at fault in an accident, there will be no recovery at all for vehicle damage.

Insurance companies are registered with and supervised by the federal or provincial governments regardless of whether they are foreign-owned, part of big conglomerates or mutual and stock companies.

Generally, insurance companies use the same basic policies for auto insurance, since this area is regulated by government, so you will have to look at the details of service and products to see which company might provide you with the best service and options for your vehicles. There are a number of options in home insurance among companies.

Ask friends and relatives about their insurers. Were claims paid promptly without a great deal of red tape? Were insurers capable of dealing with a number of claims during catastrophes like the Great Ice Storm or major power outages or floods? Did insurers offer a range of plans customized to the clients specific needs. Of course, premiums for insurance coverage vary greatly among a number of insurers. No matter what you hear, premiums for auto insurance, in particular, vary by insurer, sometimes by very large amounts. And when one insurer will not touch a prospective customer, another company will accept the client with open arms. It all depends on what an individual insurance company feels is an acceptable risk at the premium price.

There are insurers who will take on unusual risks. For instance, there are insurers who will cover pets including what could be very expensive veterinarian bills.

Can anyone recommend a good insurance company to buy condo insurance from?

I’ve gotten tons of quotes and don’t know who to pick. Help! TIA!
Do you have condo insurance? If yes, which company and why did you pick them? Thanks!
I live in San Francisco, California.
I’ve gotten quotes from State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, and Homesite. My auto insurance company is Geico, unfortunately they don’t offer home insurance.

It would be helpful to know which companies you got quotes from. If you can its better to get your condo insurance with the same company that carries your auto insurance so you will get discounts on both policies. In other words keep the same company for both policies.

I would take one of the first 3 companies you mention. I never heard of that last one.

And, whichever company you pick switch your auto insurance company to them too. You get great discounts having both policies with the same company.

I think State Farm is best, but I am biased. So be sure to ask other people as well.

Why home insurance companies are sensitive to lapses in the insurance?

When I shop for a home insurance I am always asked if my home is currently insured or if there are lapses in my insurance policy. Some companies outright refuse to give me a quote when I tell them that I haven’t had home insurance in the last 3-4 months. I am wondering why this is important for them?! They just referred to their company policy and did not give me any meaningful reasoning. Who’s the best company for home insurance? Thank you for your answer.

Here you can get quotes from different home insurance companies in your area, its the best way to find an affordable home insurance with a reliable company.

Insurance companies are wary of lapses in any kind of insurance policies. In your case it just happened to be home insurance.

The single most feared factor in the insurance business is not hurricanes, not bush-fires, not wars, not meteor strikes but what’s known as ‘moral hazard’. Moral hazard is, in simple terms, lack of inhibition in preferring a claim under less than above-the-board circumstances.

For example, if your camera is insured for home use only, you cannot make a claim if the insured camera suffers damage during a jungle safari. Most of us, being honest persons, would not even want to claim under such circs. However, since, as a rule it takes all kinds to make this world, there exist individuals who would make a claim as if the damage occurred at home. Such individuals are considered to be ‘moral hazards’.

Coming back to your original question, insurance companies know from empirical evidence that the incidence of moral hazard is greater – much greater – in those cases where there’s a break iin coverage. It’s likely that the insured is trying to renew the policy after a loss has occurred.

You need to provide evidence to the insurance company that you did not intend to let the policy lapse. That it lapsed, is a fortuitous happenning (please note the wording – underwriters love such language) and not a deliberate omission. ‘I do not want to be penalised for something over which I had no control’ is the line you need to take. You could strike lucky with this line.

Can your homeowners insurance policy be cancelled if you get a big dog?

I know someone who had a homeowners insurance policy that was cancelled because of a big dog that her friend gave her. Is that allowed?

Yes very much so. Certain breed’s of dogs will void a home owners insurance policy. This is based usually on vicious breeds who tend to generage alot of liability claims. It states this clearly in your policy. If your friends looks at her HO3 policy she will see which specific breeds will cancel her policy. Also many HO3 policies place exclusions against trampolines & swimming pools.

If she chooses to keep the dog – she will have to go through an excess/surplus company to get her homeowners insurance. She will pay about 3x the amount she was paying prior. Its up to her if the dog is worth keeping.
