Check the sum insured offered by your home insurance policy

When you are considering the value of your home for insuring the structure, you should remember that it is not determined by the market value, which is a combination of cost of land, demand and supply, etc. The value, called reconstruction value, is decided on the basis of how much it would cost you to reconstruct the house if it is damaged.

Insuring the structure of the home

  • The sum insured is calculated by multiplying the built up area of your home with the construction rate per sq. feet, e.g. if the built up area of your home is 1000 sq. feet and the construction rate is `800 per sq. feet, the sum insured for your home structure is ` 8 lakhs.
  • We recommend the rate of construction for few major cities when you buy online; click here to know the construction cost. However, this value can be revised appropriately if expensive material – like marble flooring – has been used in construction. If your home has lawn / garden surrounded by a perimeter wall, the construction rate can be revised to include the cost of construction of this wall in the home structure sum insured.

Insuring the content of the home

  • The contents of your home – furniture, durables, clothes, utensils, jewellery, etc., is to be valued on market value basis, that is the current market value of similar items after depreciation.

How can you renew your home insurance policy?

You can renew your policy by visiting the nearest branch. Alternatively, you can also visit icicilombard.com and renew your home insurance policy instantly.

quest img

What is the procedure for assessing the value of my home structure and its contents?

The value of your home structure is assessed as per the area of your home multiplied by the rate of construction per. sq. feet, as on the date of taking the policy. For example, if your home is 1000 sq. feet and the construction rate per sq. feet is ` 800/-, then the sum insured for your home’s building structure is ` 8,00,000.
