Can Homeowners Insurance Be Transferred To A New Owner? (Portsmouth, VA) Home buyers often ask if a home insurance policy can simply be transferred from one person to another. Therefore allowing a new homeowner to begin making the payments when the old owner moves out. The short answer is no. A home insurance policy cannot be transferred from one person to another. Each policy is unique, and coverage rates really depend on a broad number of factors that change from person to person. Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Let me go ahead and give you a quick example here. If the original homeowner is a college student and the new homeowner is a retiree, the rates will almost certainly be less expensive for the new homeowner. Now, more importantly, every homeowner has a different set of coverage priorities, which means the specific coverages and amounts can vary significantly from one homeowner to another. And so, before making a final choice on your coverage, be sure to speak with an insurance professional that can help you understand all of the rates and all of the options associated with your homeowners policy.

Can Homeowners Insurance Be Included In Closing Costs? (Portsmouth, VA) I cannot tell you how often new home buyers ask whether or not insurance can be included in their closing costs. So, as a general rule, yes, it can. But there are a few things you should address since buying a home can be complicated. Plus, you know, juggling the requirements of your lender, the title company, and the agent can be a complete headache. The best way to start is to ask the company doing your financing what their insurance requirements are. Some banks want a full year of homeowners insurance, and some only want six months. So it varies, honestly. Next, you have to find out if you can have your insurance paid out of your escrow account. That way, your bank can actually handle the payments for you, which is great. But before you make any final decisions, it is always a good idea to talk to your insurance agent and make sure that everything is set up correctly. Then, once your financing is all established, your homeowner's insurance policy will activate, and you'll be covered, and then you can focus on enjoying your new happy home.

Why Are My Homeowners Insurance Rates Going Up? (Portsmouth, VA) One of the most common questions we hear about home insurance is so simple and super understandable. Why are my rates going up? I know it can feel frustrating and confusing. The truth is there are a large number of reasons why you might see higher home insurance premiums and not all of them are things you can control. If there's an increase in the cost of replacement materials like lumber or stone or in the cost of labor that will probably translate into premiums. Likewise, if the value of your neighborhood is on the rise and therefore the value of your home is increasing, it will cost more to insure. I can't forget to mention that if there's a large number of people in your area making insurance claims that could translate into higher rates as well, your insurance agent might be able to help you find ways to offset these cost increases. So, don't be shy about contacting them to find out more. We’d be happy to review your insurance coverage options with you!

Will Homeowners Insurance Cover A Civil Lawsuit? (Portsmouth, VA) With lawsuits becoming more frequent. Over recent years, many homeowners want to know if a home insurance policy provides protection against being sued in a civil proceeding. Now, the answer to this question really depends entirely on the details of your particular insurance policy. While many general home insurance plans offer some amount of liability coverage, the amount of coverage can vary. And it is worth noting that if you're still paying off your mortgage, your bank may require you to have a certain amount of liability coverage in your policy to make sure that you are fully protected from litigation. It is definitely wise to include at least some liability coverage in your home insurance policy and it's also a good idea to consider an umbrella policy which will further increase the coverage limits for additional details on how to ensure your home insurance policy provides proper liability protection for you and your family, speak with your insurance agent before making any final policy choices.Will Homeowners Insurance Cover A Civil Lawsuit?
