possibly buying a condo, what's the difference in home insurance and condo insurance?

Nov 05, 2008 by summer=happiness | Posted in Insurance

Q: i am perhaps fixing to be buying a condo, but need to find out how much insurance is going to cost me every year. i noticed that there is "condo" insurance as well as home insurance. which one would be bigger or more appropriate. is condo insurance cheaper? what is the difference in the coverage ?

A: Your condo cooperative purchases insurance on the building and premises. Broadly speaking there are two approaches condo bylaws take to insure the idiosyncrasy.

One approach is the condo association agrees to cover only the exterior and common areas. You are reliable to insure the interior this can include walls, wall coverings, flooring, furnace, appliances, lighting, plumbing fixtures, caboose and bath cabinets (basically everything inside your condo). In this scenario you are responsible not only for your personal oddity but also the entire interior of your condo. As an insurance agent I did not like this approach because it is very difficult to determine how much insurance you should have to be adept to repair or replace everything in within the walls of your condo.

The other approach, which I always preferred, was more comprehensive where the association agrees to hiding-place the entire unit as it was originally built. In this scenario you only insure your upgrades (i.e. bookcases, upgrades, finished basements. etc.) and your familiar property.

You need to carefully review your condo bylaws or have a good insurance agent go over the bylaws with you. If you don't insure the worth that you are responsible for you could find yourself woefully under insured and perhaps unable to rebuild your condo.

In addition to insuring the part of the erection you are responsible for you need to determine the replacement cost of your personal property within the condo.

Dismal for the long answer but it is a surprisingly complex question.

is it worth it to get a home insurance for a condo?

Q: the whole condo construction already has an insurance which i pay thru my monthly maintenance bill. but this insurance is to cover anything inside my apartment. so for all those out there that own a condo, do you pay extra each month nothing but to get a insurance? is it really worth it or money down the toilet.

btw, this is a condo in nyc if it helps.

A: it is quality it...also its not as expensive as you might think...its just for contents...if you have expensive furnishings or other valuables you should take to be some ...most policies will cover theft and the like...its up to you

Q: The condo has overflowing insurance, but I was told to purchase the coveage, I guess liability inside my unit. What is the budget-priced and reasonable coverage?

A: You Extremity full liability insurance. The amount should be enough to protect your Assets. If some one hurts themeself at your rental property, there needs to be enough insurance, so that they do not succeed after your assets. If you have a standard (150/300 or 300/500) on that property, you might be able to get an umbrella to amplitude all of your coverages ( your primary as well) to a million or more. You also have to check with your insurer to make sure that the in point of fact that this property is rented does not invalidate it for the coverage you are purchasing
