House Holders Insurance

 

House Holders Insurance - Overview

 

Home insurance, or house-owner/householder insurance as it is also known, is important, and you should purchase one. 

 

Be it a humble hut or a bungalow, rented or owned, it is advisable to insure your house and belongings to guard against unforeseen risks.

 

In addition to protecting your home, the typical home insurance covers your valuable personal property as well. Your personal property could consist of your furniture, clothing, stereo, computer equipment, jewelry etc.
 

 

Your householders' insurance policy provides you with a choice of cover for:

  • The building (structure) of your home, and,
  • The contents or belongings in your home/building

Householders' insurance protects both the structure of a building as well as the belongings in it.

Coverage for natural wear and tearIf you read carefully, insurance companies specifically state that they will not pay for damages caused due to regular wear and tear. Read to know more about coverage.

 

Even if you have purchased the mechanical and electrical breakdown section, the insurance company is not liable to pay for the damages. If you read carefully, insurance companies specifically state that they will not pay for damages caused due to regular wear and tear. The company is liable to pay only for losses or damages arising out of accidental electrical or mechanical breakdown. It will not cover items that are more than 7 to 10 years old and nor will it cover for acts considered willful or due to negligence on your part or the supplier or manufacturer.

Coverage for insured house let out to tenant

 

If you own the building or house, you may purchase the householders' insurance policy for it. In case your tenants want to insure their belongings, they have to purchase a separate policy for their belongings.

 

I live on rent; do I still need home insurance?

If you live on rent, you may not want to purchase insurance for the building. But what about your belongings? The householders' policy covers you for damage or loss of a whole range of household items, such as domestic and electronic appliances.

Can I buy home insurance even if my spouse uses one of the rooms as an office?

No. Homes used for business purposes are not covered under this policy. In such cases, you will need the Merchant Cover Plan to insure your office.

The funds that base their equity allocation on market valuation have given stable returns in the past. Pick these if you are a buy-and-forget investor. Small investors are often victims of greed and fear. When markets are rising, greed makes the small investor increase his exposure to stocks. And when stocks crash to low levels, fear makes him redeem his investments. But there are a few funds that avoid this risk by continuously changing the asset mix of their portfolios. Their allocation to equity is not based on the fund manager's outlook for the market, but on its valuations. Our top pick is the Franklin Templeton Dynamic PE Ratio Fund, a fund of funds that divides its corpus between two schemes from the same fund house-the...

The landed price of the yellow metal had surged, pushing up the net asset value ( NAV ) of gold ETFs. However, the recent budget proposal by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has thrown a spanner in the works for gold fund investors. The revised tax structure for all non-equity funds, includi...

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...
