PRODUCT ISLE: DWELLING INSURANCE

DWELLING POLICY 1 (DP1): This policy is designed to be flexible and a sort of name your desired coverage type of policy. You can pick and choose what you’d like to insure. In other words it is un-packaged.

The DP-1 offers property and liability coverage: It is designed to protect property from a limited named list of perils ( another name for causes of loss). The list consist of approx. 8 named types of losses, such as all types of weather events and fire. Google DP 1 named perils list to get a list of the types of losses covered.

Loss Settlement is actual cash value otherwise known as depreciated value (replacement value less the scheduled depreciation based on quality and materials at time of loss)

DWELLING POLICY 2 (DP2): Similar to the DP 1 the DP2, this product is designed to expand and broaden the types of losses covered. The losses are expanded beyond weather and fire events. Google DP2 list named types of losses covered. Loss Settlement is replacement value. Item will be replaced or repaired with like kind and quality materials at time of loss.

DWELLING POLICY 3 (DP3) Similar to the DP 1 and DP 2, this product is designed to go even further by expanded coverage to include all losses are covered except what is excluded. The product coverage is “open” rather than listing a set list of named perils (remember perils = cause of loss). So with this plan we look at the list of items not covered vs. list of items covered. We find this list in the in the exclusion section. Ultimately you can rest a little easier choosing this product. The list of exclusions is very rare and extreme events, such as war and volcanic eruption. But of course, there is always a percentage they could occur. Loss Settlement is replacement value. Item will be replaced or repaired with like kind and quality materials at time of loss.

HOMEOWNER POLICY 3 (HO3 REPLACEMENT LOSS COVERAGE POLICY) Similar to the DP3 product, the HO3 is designed as a package including coverage for events a resident of a home are anticipated to need; such as the dwelling (look at exclusions list for loss not covered. If it’s not in the exclusion list, then it’s covered.), the contents (property within the home that is not permanently attached to the home. Covered loss are named. So check the named loss section to types of losses covered), detached structures (sheds, carports, fencing), loss of use (pays for additional expenses above normal and customary living expenses, such as the added cost to rent a hotel room and dine out), liability coverage (protection of your financial assets if you are held responsible for causing bodily injury or property damage to others whether on or away from the home), medical payments to others (good will coverage for guest who may get hurt whether you’re at fault or not. It’s coverage to keep others from pursuing filing suit against you).

HOMEOWNER POLICY 4 (HO4 for CONTENTS and Liability package) Similar the to Homeowner 3 product, the HO4 is available to cover same aspects of the HO3 product, minus the dwelling itself. This is often referred to as a renters policy. But you are not required to be a renter to purchase it. Some folks are not concerned about protecting their dwelling. They may only be interested in their contents. This policy is designed for them. OR for the person who’s dwelling’s characteristics may not qualify for coverage.

HOMEOWONERPOLICY 5 (COMPREHENSIVE LOSS COVERAGE POLICY) Similar to the HO3, the #5 in this product stands for Protection on CONTENTS on a Comprehensive/open loss basis. Comprehensive / open losses means if coverage is not listed in the exclusion area, then the cause of loss is covered. This policy comes in handy when folks wish for no questions asked type of policy. The dwelling and contents are covered for all losses except what’s excluded.

HOMEOWNER POLICY 6 (HO6 for CONDOS ) Similar to the HO3, this product is designed to cover the interior of a condo and liability. There is also additional coverage considerations for loss assessments that the condo association may impose after a loss. An assessment is charged to the entire condo association when the grounds and structures themselves are damaged by a cause of loss. The unit owners each own the interior of their unit individually, but the whole association of condo owners share in the ownership of the grounds and structures. Thus if a loss occurs, the whole association will pay a portion of the damages (only if the association charges an assessment fee). Thus, there is coverage available for these fees for Condo owners.

HOMEOWNER POLICY 8: This is similar the the DP1 with some Homeowner flair aspects to it. The types of losses are the limited named/listed losses featured in the DP1 product (reminder: the # is what determines what list of losses will be covered). The other characteristic of this product is that it’s designed for primary/seasonal residents. Folks who are using the home to live in. This product is often bought for unique/one of a kind homes OR historic and home older than 100 years. The types of losses are limited to pretty much fire, weather, and lightening damage losses. This is because homes with unique designs such as one of a kind homes and older historic homes may have construction features and characteristics that are statistically sparse to analyses and predict the spectrum of losses. So the HO8 is use sparingly, but it’s available for the unique and historical home.
