Who Needs Home Insurance?


There is much debate going on regarding the need for home insurance, especially in view of the fact that there are several different types of insurance and each has its pros and cons. In the end, however, you alone can make the decision as to whether you will have your home insured or not. Here are some things you should consider in making this decision.

The first thing you need to do is identify how much your house is worth. It is more practical to buy a home insurance if you have a relatively expensive home, or if your house is worth more money than what you currently have in the bank. It may not be practical as well to buy insurance if your home is not located in a high danger area.
Another consideration is if you had to borrow money from a lender in order to buy your home. Most lenders require the homeowner to purchase insurance on the property, with them as one of the beneficiaries. This is because the lender considers your home an investment and they have vested interests in it.
