Home INSURANCE

What is Home Insurance?

Homeowners insurance can help protect you from the unexpected. If your home is damaged, your belongings are stolen or someone gets injured on your property, it can help cover repairs or replacement, temporary housing, legal fees and more.

Why Do I Need a Homeowners Policy?

A homeowners policy is recommended for anyone who owns a home or condo and may even be required by your mortgage lender. You will need separate coverage to help protect your home and personal belongings against damage due to floods or earthquakes.

If the unexpected happens, home insurance can help you restore your life back to normal.

What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover?

A LendFi representative can help you determine the homeowners coverage that best fits your needs and budget, but a typical policy can cover:

  • The structure of your home
  • Other structures on your property (e.g. garage, shed)
  • Your personal belongings
  • Additional living expenses if you cannot live in your home due to a covered loss
  • Your personal liability or legal fees
  • Limited valuable items (extra coverage can usually be added)
How to Get A Homeowners Insurance Quote

To get an accurate homeowners quote from LendFi, you’ll need a few pieces of information, including:

  • Your home’s features. We’ll ask for details such as when were your roof and utilities last updated, and what type of construction your home is.
  • The way you use the home. We’ll need to know if it is your primary home, or a secondary or rental home.
  • Your current homeowners insurance coverage. We’ll get a better insight into your insurance needs when you share your current provider information and how long you’ve been insured.

These details will help us find the homeowners insurance policy that best fits your needs.

How To Find The Best Condo Insurance

Condos are a popular alternative housing option that offers many benefits over home ownership or perpetual renting. One potential benefit of owning a condo is the cost of buying condo insurance, which is typically much less than buying homeowners insurance.

However, understanding how much coverage you actually need on your condo and making sure there are no gaps in coverage between your policy and the condo association’s policy is critical in making sure you’re properly covered if you have a claim. Speaking with a trusted independent insurance agent can be a valuable first step in securing the right type of condo insurance.

How Much Does Condo Insurance Cost?

The average cost of condo insurance in the US is $488 a year. This is considerably less than homeowners insurance, but is also higher than renters insurance. Part of the reason that homeowners insurance is typically more expensive is because of the amount of coverage in both policies. Typically, condo insurance has less coverage than homeowners insurance. There are also typically fewer claims with condo insurance in a given year than there are with homeowners insurance.
