Understanding Over and Under Insurance
Mr Tan just bought a new house with a market value of $800,000 and wishes to insure it.
As insurance is meant to cover the cost to restore your property to its undamaged state, the amount to insure is the reinstatement cost if the property was completely destroyed, which may be different from its market value.
If Mr Tan’s house costs $500,000 to restore it to its undamaged state in the event it gets completely destroyed, $500,000 is recognised as the reinstatement cost and the amount he should insure.
Under Insurance is when you get coverage that is less than the reinstatement value of your property.
You will only be able to claim a proportion of the damage should you ever need to.
Over Insurance is when you get coverage that is more than the reinstatement value of your house.
You will be paying more than is necessary for additional coverage that is not claimable.
Mr Tan chooses $300,000 building cover which is 60% of the reinstatement cost resulting in him being underinsured.
Mr Tan chooses $550,000 building cover which is more than the reinstatement cost resulting in him being over-insured.
Meet Mr Tan, who may encounter 2 possible scenarios where he will be claiming with his Home Insurance after his house was destroyed.
If Mr Tan’s house is completely destroyed, he would incur the reinstatement cost of $500,000 to have it restored to its undamaged state.
Mr Tan will get the $300,000 that he insured his house for, which is only 60% of the loss.
Mr Tan will get only $500,000 even though he insured his house for $550,000 because it costs $500,000 to reinstate his house to its undamaged state.
If Mr Tan’s house gets partially damaged, it would cost him $200,000 to restore it to its undamaged state.
Mr Tan will only get coverage for 60% of the loss and will be able to claim $120,000 even though his building cover is $300,000 as he is underinsured.
Mr Tan will get the full $200,000 required to reinstate his house.
