Homeowners Insurance Policy
A Homeowners insurance policy is a contract between the homeowner and the insurance company. The policy provides financial protection against loss or damage to the home and contents due to perils such as fire, windstorm, theft, or liability. Homeowners insurance also covers additional living expenses if the home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss. Most mortgage lenders require homeowners to purchase a homeowners insurance policy as part of the loan agreement. Homeowners who do not have a mortgage may still choose to purchase a policy to protect their investment in the home. There are many advantages to having a Homeowners Insurance policy. Some of the main advantages include:- Providing financial protection in the event your home is damaged or destroyed by an insured event such as a fire.
- Replacing personal belongings that are lost or stolen from your home.
- Protecting you from liability if someone is injured on your property.
