Home Insurance and Property Insurance

Damaged propertyThe protection against risks to property, including fire, theft and weather damage is what is generally referred to as property insurance. Property insurance includes specialized forms of insurance such as fire insurance, flood insurance, earthquake insurance, home insurance and boiler insurance.

You could say that whilst property insurance is generic, home insurance is specific as it relates specifically to a place of residence and its contents. On the other hand, property insurance is not confined to homes but may include movable items.

Property insurance can cover basic equipment (building structure, furniture, inventory, equipment, and supplies) as well as money and securities, such as loss of revenue or cash in transit, and hard-to-replace records, such as accounts receivable, from damage or loss, some of which are not covered under home insurance.

Home insurance, on the other hand, covers various personal insurance protections, which can include losses occurring to one’s home, its contents, loss of its use (additional living expenses), or loss of other personal possessions of the homeowner, as well as liability insurance for accidents that may happen at your home. However, it must be borne in mind that a basic home insurance may not cover all of the items discussed here and additional premium may be payable for these items.
