Home insurance can cover your home and its contents in the case of theft, loss or damage to the inside and outside of your home or property.
It could also help you cover additional living expenses if you're temporarily unable to live in your home such as living in a hotel or a rental home.
Typically, you would purchase home insurance before closing on your newly purchased home.
This ensures that you have coverage on your new property from any incidents that may occur.
In certain circumstances, a financial institution won’t fund a mortgage or line of credit before your home is insured.
Make sure to ask questions about your home insurance needs with your mortgage advisor, financial institution or financial specialist when you are buying a property.
Once you understand your home insurance needs, an insurance company will normally pre-approve the policy and then wait for your closing date to send your proof of insurance.
Some insurance policies require that you estimate the total value of your possessions and the building itself.
Speak with our insurance brokers to determine your insurance needs.
