Frequently Asked Questions
It is important to know what coverage you have before your property is damaged, so you are encouraged to check each year to make sure your property is insured for the cost of replacing it. At the very least, check the value at the start of each hurricane season and, as a last resort and final fail-safe, check again as soon as a storm is declared as a threat to our island.
The replacement cost does not mean the sale cost, as the sale cost includes the land too, but it should include an allowance for demolition, then to remove debris and the cost of a new planning application, in addition to the actual building. In practice this generally adds about 13% of the property value.
Buildings Insurance applies to structures, fixtures and fittings. Contents Insurance applies to items that remain within the home, whereas personal possessions refer to items that are brought outside the home.
The coverage you choose depends on your specific needs. Please contact our Customer Service Centre at 298-0888 to discuss your coverage needs, or send us your contact information in a private message and we’ll reach out to you to further discuss.

We encourage you to purchase your insurance now to ensure your property and belongings are protected, as damage caused within 48 hours of commencing the policy will not be covered for storm-related damage.
