Understanding the huge financial cost of rebuilding a home if it was damaged, most Mortgage Lenders make it an integral part of their conditions that Buildings Insurance must be purchased on the day that you become the legal owner of the property.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTAGE.
The mortgage will be secured by a charge on the property of the customer.
Buying a Home Is Likely to Be One of the Biggest Financial Commitments That You Will Ever Take On, Becoming One of Your Most Valuable Assets.
The Aim of Buildings Insurance Is to Provide the Costs Needed to Repair and Rebuild the Structure of Your Home if it Was Damaged.
Most people don't have thousands of pounds sitting in the bank to cough up when disaster strikes, which is why insurance companies make Buildings Insurance an integral part of their terms. Most insurance companies offer the same standard cover for their policies, however, it is important to ensure that you receive the right level of cover for your home. If it was badly damaged, you must consider the full cost of rebuild from demolition, architects and site workers.
