Professional Rebuilding Cost Valuations are essential if you want to pay the correct insurance premium and have the correct insurance.
Every year Rebuild Cost Assessment Ltd assess more than 5,000 UK household and commercial properties. Their experience is that less than one in 10 buildings in Britain has the correct sum insured.
In the region of 20% are over insured by typically almost 160%. This means paying too much for buildings cover. Under insurance is a bigger problem with two thirds of property owners under insured and typically for just two thirds of the correct rebuilding cost. This can mean the insurer reducing any claims payout in proportion to the level of under insurance.
