The dangers: First and foremost, it's important to comprehend the extent of the policy's coverage. There may be some exclusions or limitations, even though most insurance normally cover damage to the actual building and any personal items inside it.

For instance, the policy might not provide coverage for natural disasters like landslides, floods, and earthquakes. It is essential to take into account the risks such disasters pose to your property. Co-founder and director of Policy Ensure Rahul M. Mishra added that "home insurance policies typically have limited liability for personal injury or damage caused to a third party on the premises of the property."

Coverage level: Important considerations include the cost of rebuilding, the value of other personal items, and the worth of the residence. Mishra said, "It's important to think about worst-case scenarios and make sure you have enough coverage for, if necessary, rebuilding your home and replacing possessions. For example, the Policy Ensure offers more benefits in addition to renovation, including as coverage for structures, furniture, fixtures, fittings, and contents at home.
