How much should you insure your house for?

Your 'sum insured' is the value you insure your house for i.e. the most we'll pay to repair or rebuild your home. If your home is damaged or destroyed, we'll pay to repair or rebuild up to your sum insured (minus any excess). So, check your rebuild costs regularly - think fences, driveways, demolition, debris removal, compliance and consent costs, professional fees, and GST.

How to work out your sum insured.

Why choosing the right sum insured matters.

Your sum insured affects your basis of settlement - which is what we pay if you need to claim. Here's how it works:

If your home is damaged or destroyed by fire or an explosion and...

  • ...your sum insured is equal to or higher than the Cordell estimate*.

  • You'll be eligible for Replacement Cover

    If you choose Replacement Cover, we'll repair or rebuild your home to the same floor area - even if it costs more than your home sum insured (minus any excess). For any special features, we'll pay up to their sum insured amount, minus any excess. 

    *Only applies if the sum insured is less than $1.5m including GST.

  • ...your sum insured is less than the Cordell estimate.

  • You'll get Sum Insured Replacement Cover

    We'll pay up to your sum insured amount, minus any excess.

For all other damage (like flood, storm, or accidental damage), you'll get Sum Insured Replacement Cover. We'll pay to repair or rebuild your home up to your sum insured, minus any excess.

Limits still apply to certain items. Refer to the ASB Home Insurance policy wording for the full details as well as exclusions and other terms. Got questions? Call us on 0800 200 252 to find out more about Replacement Cover and how to qualify.
