Let's start with Home insurance
What does it include?
You’re getting a comprehensive, all-risk, home insurance policy with coverage for your building and any detached structures on your property.
Your policy starts at $2 million in liability protection if you’re ever found liable for damages to another person/property — options exist to increase this to $3 million.
You’re getting guaranteed replacement cost on your home. If you’ve provided all the accurate details about your home (ie. square footage, year built), and the cost to rebuild
after an insured loss is higher than what you’re protected for, you’ll be covered for the full cost of the rebuild.
Our home insurance coverage works on a replacement cost basis for contents, “new for old.” In the event of a loss, your 10-year-old couch will be replaced with a brand new one
of similar make and quality.
Earthquake coverage for your region? At Western Coast, we’ve innovated our own solution to a market wide issue of substantial deductibles — often 10 per cent of the building
value. With our buydown and a small premium increase, that number can drop to 5 or 2 per cent.
Often associated with business insurance, Western Coast offers equipment breakdown coverage on household appliances (washing machines, dryers, fridges, freezers, dishwashers etc).
Buy up your additional living expense coverage, useful in the event you're displaced from your home after an insured loss. Following these unforeseen events, costs rise (hotel stays,
eating in restaurants). With Western Coast, you can buy your additional living expense coverage to cover these extra costs for a longer period of time
We also have additional insurance protection against overland water.
