Frequently Asked Questions
We have listed below a number of the
questions that are often raised when a property is being insured by Intasure.
Q Can we
arrange immediate cover?
A
Yes! We are happy to hold cover over the phone
for a period of 21 days during which time the fully completed proposal
and payment of premium will be required. Remember if you have any queries in
relation to the completion of the proposal then the Sales Team will be happy to
assist.
Q Does the policy provide employer’s liability?
A
Yes! Our policy automatically provides employer’s liability cover up
to £10 million for any domestic staff.
Q How much
should I insure my property for?
A
For your Buildings you need to take into consideration not only the
cost of rebuilding the main property but also any outbuildings, swimming pools,
boundary walls in addition to solicitor’s and surveyor’s fees and demolition
costs. With your Contents you need to consider all household goods and personal
property within your property and how much you would have to pay to replace them
as new. We do make a deduction for wear and tear for clothing and linen.
Q What does “New for old” mean?
A
This means that the item referred to will be replaced for its current
value without a deduction for wear, tear or betterment.
Q Do I need to specify any valuables?
A
We would recommend that you check your main household policy to see if
it covers items outside of your permanent residence. This cover is often
referred to as all risks. If you keep any items permanently in the property and
they exceed the single article limit then we will need to specify them on the
policy schedule.
Q Do I have cover away from my home?
A
Our policy provides cover for your contents whilst within the confines
of your property, as above we would recommend that you speak to the insurers of
your main residence for cover away from the property in respect of valuables and
personal effects.

A
This cover is available at an extra premium. Cover then applies whilst
the property is occupied by the insured and family members. Accidental damage
cover is given to both Buildings and Contents.

Full cover is provided subject to the security requirements being
