Hazard Insurance Policies for Ultra Luxurious Residential Property

by Avani Rai THE 42

If you want to safeguard your ultra-luxurious residential property against any form of hazards, hazard insurance should be your choice. It covers the property owner against any colossal property damages under reasons like storm, earthquake, fire and other natural calamities.

 

The function of hazard insurance policy is covering a property. It provides compensation to an owner of a luxury residential in Kolkata, for example, when a particular natural calamity strikes.

 

This is not a common type of insurance- hence, most of the times people misinterpret hazard insurance policies. Let us have a look at the different advantages of this insurance:

 

a.      Homeowners insurance is different

 

Homeowners insurance generally cover some of these damages only. However, cover against many of the damages caused by natural calamities are not warranted under a homeowner’s insurance.

 

Hazard insurance is different- it covers almost every aspect of damage that a property might face. Apart from natural calamities, hazard insurance covers against:

 

  • Vandalism
  • Explosion
  • Vandalism
  • Lightening

and many more...

 

  1. Variants of hazard insurance

 

You will find different types of hazard insurance in the market- you need to decide which one you want to go for.

 

  1. The basic hazard insurance provides cover against only some kinds of damage. There are many specific physical damages that a basic hazard insurance does not compensate for.
  2. The extra protection insurance can be obtained for such damages by paying more money on the coverage while necessary. For example, if you need a cover against earthquake to compensate for the physical damages that you property may suffer due to this, you should go for the extra protection one.

 

  1. You can club it with your monthly mortgage

 

Most of the mortgage lenders will agree with this because they generally want to protect the property they are investing in. So, apart from the other insurance, the mortgage lenders suggest you a hazard insurance too.

 

Most of such lenders’ policies include an option where you can club the payment of the insurance premium and mortgage monthly dues in one single payment. This makes it much easier to keep track of your monthly payments.

 

We have now understood the advantages of hazard insurance properly. Everything has its downside too. There are some disadvantages of this insurance as well, to be honest. Let us have a look at those:

 

a.      a. Falling number of insurance providers

 

This insurance is quite popular with homeowners, true. However, the number of organizations who provide this insurance is now gradually decreasing. As a reason you can point out the huge number of claims that are made every year.

 

In some metro cities of some major states, the number of property owners who claim the insurance is quite high.

 

  1. You do not get your claim always

 

There is no guarantee that you will get your claim if you file it. If you have request for a claim once and get it cleared, there is a chance that you will not receive your compensation again.

 

  1. It is not always important

 

For some ultra-luxurious residential property, a homeowner’s insurance is enough. A hazard insurance is not required at all. Unless you have something valuable at home, this insurance will cost you hefty for no reason.
