Some view homeowner's insurance as an unnecessary expense, but this perspective overlooks the value it provides. The monthly premium is reasonable, especially considering the protection it offers against various threats.
Mortgage Requirements

Standard policies typically cover:
- Structural Damage: Protection against damages from lightning, fire, hail, theft, vandalism, plumbing leaks, and more.
- Personal Belongings: Coverage for items like TVs, furniture, and fittings, usually ranging from 50% to 75% of the home's structure coverage.
- Temporary Living Expenses: Should your home become uninhabitable, insurance covers temporary accommodation costs.
- Personal Liability: Covers legal fees if someone is injured on your property due to your inadvertent actions.
