Buying Cheaper Home Insurance

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Firstly, shop around for your home insurance. With so many companies offering so many different deals, you may find big savings or a more appropriate level of cover at a cheaper price.

There are lots of price comparison websites, and most will help you understand the different levels of cover as well as just quoting prices. It is important that the policy you have meets your needs so do look at the details.

If you get your buildings and contents insurance from the same company you will often get a better price. Some insurers offer further discounts when you buy your travel and car insurance at the same time as your home insurance.

You can increase the voluntary excess on your policy to reduce the premium, but be realistic about what you would be able to pay. Remember the whole reason for having home insurance is to protect you financially if your house or belongings are damaged, so there is no point in getting a really cheap policy that would still leave you financially crippled if there was a house fire for example.

To further reduce your premium, fit an approved burglar alarm and get proper locks. This will also of course reduce the chances of a burglary which is not just expensive but can be very traumatic.

If you can afford to pay a one off sum annually rather than in monthly instalments, most insurers will give you a discount. Lastly, if there is one then make sure you join the local Neighbourhood Watch scheme, this is free and can reduce your home insurance premium.

In your attempts to reduce your premium, dont be tempted to lie to your insurer about the condition of your home because otherwise the insurer may not pay out.

Find a Good Insurance Agent

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Insurance agents are professionals, through whom you can buy insurance products such as life insurance, disability insurance, homeowner’s insurance, and car insurance. The insurance business is a state regulated business, which means that each state sets its own rules about various aspects of the insurance business. One of the common features of these rules is that all insurance agents have to be registered with a state’s insurance commission. In order to register, insurance agents have to fulfill certain requirements like passing state-issued exams and regularly completing continuing education courses.

Insurance agents are supposed to work in the best interest of a client, as is the case with all financial professionals. Unfortunately the reality is such that insurance agents and other financial professionals are often swayed by the commission they receive for selling you, the client, certain financial products like an insurance policy. The problem comes in when they push you to buy a product that may not be suitable for you, but one that provides the insurance agent with a handsome commission.

As a client, you have the right to ask an insurance agent to tell you the amount of the commission he or she receives for selling you one product or another. If you do not understand the impact your insurance agent’s commission has on your insurance policy and your financial well-being, ask the agent out right. You will quickly find out how forthcoming he or she is about answering such sensitive questions. If you get the sense that your insurance agent is not honest, trust your instinct and get help and advice from another agent. Be aware that there is nothing wrong with an insurance agent or any other financial professionals to get paid for his or her services to you as long as he or she gets paid for a service valuable to you, the client.
