Insurance Rebuild Cost Valuations
A Buildings Insurance Valuation (Reinstatement Cost Assessment) is an assessment of the cost to rebuild the property in the event of total loss, e.g. fire, collapse, explosion.
An accurate valuation is important to ensure your property is fully insured for the correct amount. This is important to avoid situations of under or over insurance. If your property is undervalued, insurance payments may not adequately cover the cost of rebuilding. Over valuation means your insurance premiums will be higher than necessary.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) recommends that a reinstatement cost assessment is undertaken every three years, and whenever there are significant changes to the buildings such as construction of extensions, or major refurbishment and improvement works.
