Can a home insurance company increase the amount of insurance on your house without your request? and Big insurance: Sick of it health care reform rally

Can a home insurance company increase the amount of insurance on your house without your request?

Of course when the amount of insurance in increased, the insurance premium also increases. I have only $ 125,000 left on the mortgage and insurance company has increased the insurance to cover a value of $ 305,000. Real estate value of the home is $ 450,000. My credit rating is excellent and I have not had any insurance claims

Yes. Part of the policy condition is that you insure the home to either 80%, 90%, or 100% of the replacement value, on a standard HO3 Homeowners form. So, if you want the type of policy that is NOT a replacement policy, you'll have to get a whole different kind of policy.

Of course, a FLAT RATE policy costs about ten times as much as a standard policy.

Real estate value, or market value, has NOTHING to do with the cost to rebuild. If the house burns to the ground, the insurance company does NOT have an option to "buy" it from you for the face amount - they are required to rebuild.

So, you can do it your way, and pay a way, way, way lot of money for a small amount of coverage, or you can do it the insurance company's way, and insure to full replacement value, for less money.

Or, what most people like you prefer to do, is just get a personal loan for the balance of the mortgage, so you can pay off the mortgage, and not insure the house at all. Check out this site, if you want to find the cheapest home insurance just in one minute,
