Your Property Insurance,  house insurance, car, or business are your most expensive investments. They control your future stability and life security. However, have you ever thought of protecting this investment?

If not, it is high time you consider protecting your property. This blog will explain how to do so.

As a veteran real estate company in Kolkata, we are here to discuss property insurance and related factors.

Let’s begin!

What is Property Insurance?

Property insurance is like life insurance for your property. Whether it’s your car, home, or business, the insurance covers it from various risks. Through property insurance, you will get financial protection for physical assets such as homes, businesses, and personal belongings.

Now you might wonder what are the risks that it covers. The risk factors include natural disasters like fires, floods, or earthquakes, as well as theft, vandalism, or accidents.

Depending on the insurance policies, it can replace or repair the property. Also, the policies cover the level of protection.

In short, if you opt for property insurance, you can be guaranteed that if it gets any damage, you will get compensation for it. If you own a private or commercial property, it is inevitable for you.

Now it is important to mention that there are different types of property insurance available in the market. Depending on your property, you must choose the ideal one to get the maximum benefits.

Here are some common property insurance types that you can consider-

1. Property Insurance for Renter’s

If you live in a rental home, the renter’s property insurance applies to you. Under this policy, if your valuables get any damage in the rental property (man-made or natural calamities), you will get compensation to recover it. The policy covers properties like jewelry, expensive electronics, furniture, and other items. The other items vary depending on the policy. Thus, always ask the authorities about the items before opting for them.

The renter’s insurance is not only applicable to common people only. It is applicable for business personnel who use third-party warehouses to store their materials or use rental shops.

2. House Insurance for Homeowner’s

Homeowners property insurance is one of the most common types of insurance. It covers your property from any natural and man-made calamity, such as fire, theft, earthquake, or burglary. Under this policy, if your property gets any damage, you will get financial support to repair it.

This house insurance not only pays to repair the property but also compensates for the things inside the property. Some policies cover losses you may incur due to the bursting or overflowing of water tanks and pipes.

3. property and casualty insurance for Commercial Property

Commercial property insurance is designed for properties that are used for business purposes. Like, the other insurances, it also covers your property from any man-made or natural disasters.

Before opting for this insurance, you must remember that commercial property insurance is different from commercial general liability insurance. Commercial insurance covers your business properties. On the other hand, general liability insurance protects you against third–party liabilities that are caused by your business.

4. P&C insurance for Fire Damage

Fire might be the most common reason for property damage and it causes a huge financial burden on the owner. To avoid this burden, you can opt for fire property insurance. It will pay you for the reconstruction and other losses caused by the fire.

However, generally, this insurance does not pay if the fire is caused by wilful negligence. We suggest going through all the terms to understand the properties it covers (inside the building).

5. Property Insurance for Public Liability

Public liability insurance is one of the most useful insurances for business owners to safeguard their properties. Under this policy, you will get financial relief against the damages a third–party incurs on your property.

It is crucial to mention that the Environment Protection Act of 1986 has made it compulsory for cafe owners and car garage owners.

These 5 are the most popular ones due to their practicality. However, there are property insurances like auto insurance, travel insurance, marine, aviation and railway insurance,

industrial insurance, agricultural insurance, etc. You need to choose according to your needs.

On deciding the type, again, always take ample time to read the terms and conditions carefully. It will help you have a crystal idea about things the insurance policy covers and provide you peace of mind.

Here are some tips that will help you to choose a perfect insurance policy for yourself.

1. Access Your Needs

Everyone has their unique needs. Therefore, start with accessing your needs. For example, if you live in a rental house and shift city frequently, you need a policy that covers home appliances and furniture.

2. Compare the Quotes and Offerings

The market is full of options, and they have diverse offerings. For example, if you go for rental insurance, some offer whole coverage (home appliances, show pieces and furniture) while some exclude fragile items like show pieces.

3. Evaluate Hidden Terms and Conditions

 Almost every insurance company has at least one hidden term and condition. It can impact your compensation. Thus, go through all the terms and conditions carefully. You can take a lawyer’s help on this.

4. Examine the Customer Support

Remember, insurance is not a one-time purchase. You will need their urgent support during your crisis. Naturally, 24*7 customer support is a need for your life. Hence, evaluate their customer support quality and market reviews before purchasing their policy.

Hopefully, these tips will help you get the perfect policy that covers all your needs. Now, if you need double assurance all the time and are still not clear about the benefits of an insurance policy, here are the benefits.

1. Provide Financial Protection

If your property gets any damage, be it a large one or a minor, you will not need to invest a single penny for it.  Many argue that the monthly premium is hectic for them, however, remember it is better than spending a chunk at once.

2. Offer Medical Compensation

 If you are a business owner and your property causes an injury to someone, the policy will cover the medical expenses of the injured person. Naturally, it reduces headaches and the chances of legal battles.

3. Boost Your Future

If you are a business owner, you must know that starting a business after damage (natural or man-made) is extremely difficult. You need huge funding for that. However, if you have insurance, it will give you financial support to start the business again.
