Buildings Cover

When you are buying building insurance for the property you live in, remember that you need to cover the full cost of rebuilding, not the market value of the home. The ground your land is built on is generally not threatened by storms, fires, etc. It is often valued at a third of the entire property value, so keep in mind that you are covering rebuilding fees and not the market value. In many cases, it is less expensive to rebuild a home rather than buy a new one, as the land usually remains damage free.

Another point to remember is different areas can dictate the market value of similar homes. However, when it comes to rebuilding them it could cost the same. That's why covering the rebuilding cost and not the market value of a home is important.

Most price comparison home insurance websites will offer calculator sections to help you evaluate the rebuilding cost of your home.
