Question: #1: home insurance?
i live in southern california and my home value is 600,000. I pay 2,200 for insurance every 6 months. i think this is a little too high but would like to know if this is average. When i bought the house i was too excited that i didnt even talked to my insurance agent, who is located in Fresno, Ca. I do live near a school could that also be the reason why my home insurance is so high? Could the location make any different? Can i also change insurance or will there be a penalty? I have no clue? My insurance is through Farmer. thanks in advance!!!!! - asked by jasMINe

Question: #5: Why is home insurance limited to each and everydifferent type of disaster?
The home is either livable or NOT livable...it matters NOT what disaster ruined the home.. Why then is it that you have to pay extra for each different type of circumstance? An accident is an accident.... a disaster is a disaster... the home can only be burned, flooded, distroyed by earthquake / tornado / hurricaine ONCE.. why pay for all the different ways insurance-wise? How covered is covered? And WHY !!!! Why?? Is it if you Never have any type of claim you aren't refunded some of that money you spend year after year after year? Again, once you've paid in insurance the amount of the home value.. what difference does it make if you replaced the home 'money-wise' already in insurance premiums? Why not spend those premiums on a second home instead? Just shooting in the dark here of the many complaints I have heard ranted from my elders recently.. their solutions were hysterical.. I'd love to hear more solutions. - asked by Craptacular Wonderment

Question: #6: Will an insurance company insure our home if thereis a unpermitted cottage?
I'm in the process of buying a foreclosure home (Saratoga,CA, can't transfer the insurance since it has already lapsed) that has a detached unpermitted cottage (2 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and living room total of 900 sq ft), the main home also has a unpermitted converted garage that is used as a in law quarter (separate entrance and full bathroom), it also has a unpermitted sun room too. I really love the home and tried looking for home insurance but it looks like no one will insure me. Is there anyway I can get insured for this property without having to lie about these unpermitted additions to the insurance company? Any advice would be appreciated and any suggestions which insurance company would insure me for a reasonable price. Thank you in advance. - asked by Happy

Question: #7: Why home insurance companies are sensitive tolapses in the insurance?
When I shop for a home insurance I am always asked if my home is currently insured or if there are lapses in my insurance policy. Some companies outright refuse to give me a quote when I tell them that I haven’t had home insurance in the last 3-4 months. I am wondering why this is important for them?! They just referred to their company policy and did not give me any meaningful reasoning. Thank you for your answer. - asked by Egina

Question: #8: Who pays for the home insurance when you let yourhouse?
I ask this question on behalf of my friend, who lives in Malaysia. He wants to know what the law in England will be in this case.My friend is gonna let his house to another, so that he can have some income. A question arises: They need to buy a home insurance in case there is an accident like fire. Apparently in Malaysia, a homeowner doesn't have to buy insurance for his house.So in this case, who should pay for the home insurance, the homeowner or the tenant? I mean, the rental period is 2 years, and the insurance, if paid, will cover for 2 years only. - asked by fantasyvn2002

About 1 yr ago I cancelled my DD for my home insurance to cut costs. My bank then said as I never told them directly they have refused my insurance policy and that I would find it difficult to get another policy. I am now looking to start another home insurance policy but they all ask the question if I have been refused before? What does this mean?

Question: #17: Home Insurance: Do you usually have to inform theInsurance company if you have just had a child?
I've had home insurance since before my boy was born, he is 1yo now. I was just thinking that since you are much more likely to have accidents and breakages with children running around the house that insurance companies would want to be informed (so they can put your premiums up). I can't find the papers anywhere so please don't bother saying ''oh, read the small print damn it''Thanks. Answer: ...

Question: #30: Is there an advantage to getting your auto andhome insurance through the same company?
I'm a first time homeowner preparing to purchase my first house, and I'm looking into auto and home insurance rates. It looks like my best bet is to go with Progressive for auto and Liberty Mutual for home insurance, but I was wondering if there's any advantage to getting both insurances under the same company. I've looked at rates at other companies, and either the auto or the home insurance at the same company is just way too high. - asked by iamshaneihaveaface
