Home Insurance Claims Issues
When your property suffers from tragic damage such as a fire. You would expect your insurance to cover all the costs of the repair.
Yet this is not always the case. Around 79% of all home insurance claims were successful. And the average pay-out was only £2,520.
Problems with Home Insurance Claims
There are many ways an insurance company can reject your claim. Some home insurance policy’s state that a home must be well maintained. Others will use complicated wording to make you think you have the correct cover.
Then when you come to make a home insurance claim, they use this against you and reject your claim.
When a claim gets rejected it can be very difficult to get the insurance to review the claim. Your best option is to hire a Loss Adjuster to represent you during your home insurance claim. While these services are usually not free the benefits definitely outweigh the price.
How a Loss Adjuster Can Help You
A Loss Adjuster will review your policy and pick out anything missed in your claim. From there
they will re-negotiate with the insurance. Then aim to get you an amount that can cover the costs of your repair.
This can sometimes mean your claim value rising by £5000. Or could mean your insurance provides you with emergency accommodation.
Whatever your insurance has stated in your policy a Loss Adjusters will aim to get.
