FAQs
No. Questions & Answers
1

If I have a HDB fire policy or Fire Mortgage insurance with my bank, do I need to buy separate Home Insurance coverage?

The cover effected under the HDB fire policy or your Mortgage Fire insurance usually relates to the building structures, permanent fixtures and fittings only. Your home contents and personal belongings may not be covered. Home Insurance provides this cover plus the option to cover your personal possessions.

What is the definition of "Buildings"?

"Buildings" refers to the structure of your private residence including: outbuildings used for domestic purposes, decorative finishes, swimming pools, tennis hard courts, garden walls, patios, terraces, hedges, fences, gates, paths and drives

What is the definition of "Home Contents"?

"Home Contents" refers to household items of furniture, furnishings, home appliances, personal computers, books, toys, clothing and other movable personal belongings including valuables.

4

How much should I insure for Buildings and Home Contents?

For Buildings, the sum to be insured should be the cost of rebuilding the buildings at the time of the loss or damage. 

For Home Contents, the sum to be insured should reflect the cost of replacing the insured property to its original condition (or its equivalent) at the time just before the damage. If the Sum Insured for Building and Home Contents is inadequate, claims payment will be made after the deduction for any wear and tear or depreciation.

What is accidental loss or damage?

This refers to loss or damage caused by fire, theft, flood and any accidental cause so long as it is not excluded under this insurance.
