Exciting times, but first things first
Here it is, the moment you’ve been waiting for! A place to call your own, a space for new memories and a haven for rest and relaxation.
Excited to start renovating and shopping for furniture? Still deciding on a cozy vibe or minimalist design? Wondering how to set up the ultimate home entertainment system?
Hold on. Before all that, make sure to insure your home.
Isn't my HDB Fire insurance already covering me?
If you are taking a HDB loan, you are likely covered by the mandatory HDB fire insurance, which helps homeowners cover the costs of repairs if their flat is damaged by fire.
The mandatory HDB fire insurance only covers damage by fire to the building structure and fixtures of your flat. However, it does not cover the contents and belongings inside your flat!
That's why home insurance is crucial to protect your belongings, from your electronics like iPhones and iPads to furniture, fitness equipment, home entertainment systems and even renovated fittings such as kitchen cabinets and bathroom amenities. It covers repair or replacement costs in case of damage or loss.
MSIG has recently launched HomeEasy, a plan designed specifically for HDB property owners and tenants. With premiums from as low as $0.20 a day, this affordable and comprehensive plan perfectly complements the mandatory HDB fire insurance provided by HDB.
HDB Fire insurance vs MSIG Home Insurance

Your first home is more than just a building, it is where a new chapter begins

Your new home marks a new chapter in the story of your life, where you and your loved ones will create unforgettable “first” memories.
The thrill of holding the keys to your very own flat for the first time…
The first time you step into your new home, a space to call your own…
The first time you dive into renovations, with measuring tapes and swatches in hand…
The first time you host a family gathering…
Along with these milestones, you’ll make countless more memories too, like relaxing to your favourite music on a rainy day, or returning to your safe haven after exploring unfamiliar places.
What if, touch wood, misfortune strikes your home?
The first mishap can be unsettling, whether it’s a burst pipe, a leaky faucet, a clogged toilet, floods in Singapore affecting the ground floor flats… or fire from unattended cooking or an overcharged personal mobility device (PMD). Today, threats can also be digital, with cyber theft and online fraud becoming increasingly common.
Depending on the extent of the damage, repairs or replacement can cost tens of thousands of dollars. While insurance can't erase the trauma of the difficult situation, it can at least help restore some of your basic comforts.
