Your cover
It's important to have the right level of cover and regularly check how much it would cost to rebuild your home. Your sum insured should be the estimated maximum amount it would cost to repair or rebuild your home if it was damaged or destroyed. It needs to include costs for things like fences, driveways, demolition, debris removal, compliance, professional fees and GST.
Here are two options which could help you determine the sum insured for your home:
- Use the Cordell Sum Sure calculator, or
- Get an insurance valuation from a registered property valuer or quantity surveyor.
Your sum insured amount can also impact your basis of settlement - the most we pay for loss or damage to your home:
Sum insured replacement
If your home is damaged or destroyed, we'll pay the costs to repair or rebuild your home up to your total sum insured, minus any applicable excess.
Replacement
If your home is damaged or destroyed by fire or an explosion, we'll pay the costs to repair or rebuild your home up to the same floor area - even if it ends up costing more than your home sum insured, minus any applicable excess.
To qualify for Replacement cover:
- Use the Cordell Sum Sure calculator and choose a sum insured that's equal to or greater than the Cordell Sum Sure Estimate for your home, or
- Give us a call on 0800 200 252 to find out more about Replacement cover and how to qualify.
Limits still apply to certain items. Please refer to your policy wording for the full details as well as exclusions and other terms.
