Home Insurance
Your home should be insured from the moment you take legal ownership - even if it is still under construction. Your broker's expertise is particularly useful at this stage when you really need to match policy features with needs. Here's a primer to get you started:
Home insurance covers the building, its contents and liability.
There are usually three parts to your homeowner's policy, the building, its contents and liability. For condominium owners and tenants, just the contents and liability coverages apply.
Policies range from comprehensive to "bare-bones."
You can save money by scaling down your policy but be careful not to under-insure. Choose from these general policy categories:
- Comprehensive
- Basic/Named Perils
- Broad
Automobile Insurance
Whether you are transferring your insurance from another province, seeking to change insurers or have bought a car for the first time, the process of getting insurance could be quite daunting. In general, the more the insurer knows about you and your driving record, the better off you will be, even if your record is less than perfect. Full disclosure at the beginning will prevent any risk of misrepresentation if you do need to make a claim in the future. This is an area where your broker can be of particular assistance, helping you to navigate the terrain.
There are three main categories of information required:
- Information about you.
- Information about the vehicle.
- Information about your coverage requirements
