Why You Need Homeowners Insurance
Home is often your most valuable asset. Homeowners insurance safeguards your property against damages caused by:
- Fire and smoke damage
- Burglary and theft
- Storms, hail, and burst pipes
- Personal liability for injury or damage on your property
Without proper cover, unexpected events could lead to financial loss of tens or hundreds of thousands of rand.
What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover?
- Building cover: Repairs to your home structure—walls, roof, windows, foundations
- Loss of use: Covers temporary accommodation or living expenses while your home is restored
- Liability cover: Legal protection if a visitor is injured in your home or you accidentally damage someone else’s property
Optional Extras and Add-Ons
- Garden and landscaping cover
- Swimming pool and outbuilding protection
- Emergency assistance services (locksmith, plumbers, electrical)
How to Choose the Right Policy
- Assess your needs: Do you need full replacement cost or estimated value?
- Check exclusions: Flood, riots, or wear-and-tear may not be covered.
- Compare excesses: Higher excesses can lower premiums but increase out-of-pocket costs.
- Review claim history: Consider insurers with easy and fast claims processes.
How to Save on Homeowners Insurance
- Combine your home and car insurance (multi-policy discount)
- Install security measures like alarms, beams, and safe locks
- Maintain your home—prevention can reduce risk and premiums
