A homeowner who\u2019s only covered under the HDB Fire Insurance scheme can only claim for the losses related to the physical structure of the flat. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A homeowner who\u2019s covered under an enhanced home insurance scheme, on the other hand, will be able to claim for losses related to the physical structure, renovation works, physical household items and personal belongings.

The former provides homeowners with coverage against losses from a specified list of incidents such as fire, explosion, theft by forcible entry, natural disasters, and the like. The All Risks Policy, on the other hand, affords homeowners with wider coverage, and is applicable to all scenarios with the exception of certain pre-determined exclusions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-type-of-losses-can-be-claimed-under-home-insurance\"><b>What type of losses can be claimed under home insurance?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a general rule of thumb, insurers will not reimburse homeowners for losses related to damage caused by insects, damage inflicted during renovations, intentional and wilful harm to your property by family members, and general wear and tear of your home. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who have jewellery, art, or other expensive items at home, you can purchase home insurance that will cover you against the losses of theft or damage to your valuables. Depending on the specific policy you purchase, there will be a limit as to how much your insurer will pay out in the event of a claim. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a benchmark, <a href=\"https:\/\/singlife.com\/en\/home-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aviva<\/a> offers three home insurance policies (Home Lite, Home Standard and Home Plus) which will pay out a maximum of S$35,000, S$50,000 and S$100,000 respectively for loss of valuables.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-average-clause-included-in-home-insurance-policies\"><b>What is the \u201caverage clause\u201d included in home insurance policies?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2.jpg\" alt=\"home insurance average clause\" class=\"wp-image-11830\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2-940x628.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your home insurance policy comes with an \u201caverage clause\u201d (also known as underinsurance), this means that your payouts are subject to the value of your property (as opposed to the amount you\u2019ve insured it for). <\/span>This means that if your insurer discovers that the sum insured on your policy is less than the actual value of your contents or the rebuild cost of your property, your payout might be reduced when you file your claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clause exists to ensure customers accurately declare the true value of their contents and property, so that they pay the correct premiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can get a little confusing, so here\u2019s an example to help illustrate the point:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the value of your residential property is S$1,400,000, but you\u2019ve insured it for S$1,000,000. If you\u2019ve suffered S$600,000 worth of losses due to whatever reason, your insurer will <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pay out the full sum of S$600,000, under the average clause. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the clause, your insurer would only pay out 50% of the S$600,000 losses claim (S$300,000), because you were only insured for, say, half (50%) of the total value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The insurer was, in effect, only getting half the premiums they should have been receiving from you to fully cover your contents. So consequently, you\u2019ll only receive half the amount of your claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-home-insurance-expensive\"><b>Is home insurance expensive?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to life insurance plans, the premiums you\u2019ll have to pay for your home insurance will climb in accordance with the insured amount and claim limits. That having been said, it\u2019s not costly to get a basic plan from a provider such as NTUC income. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking at home insurance for HDB flats, NTUC Income\u2019s yearly premium for their Standard plan ranges from S$35 to S$75 based on the size of your flat; if you\u2019re living in private property, you can expect to pay between S$121 to S$355 for your Standard plan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve already spent so much <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/finance-home-renovation-furnishing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time, effort and money on renovating and furnishing your home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 so it\u2019s worth it forking out that extra amount to make sure that you\u2019re protected in the case of an accident. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-type-of-home-insurance-did-you-buy-let-us-know-in-the-comments-section-below\">What type of home insurance did you buy?
