Understanding under-insurance

If you insure the building for an amount less than its replacement value, we’ll pay your claim out proportionately. So, if the value of your building is R400,000 and you only insure it for R200,000, you’ll only be compensated for 50% of your loss. Psst, please make sure that your replacement value is realistic so that you’ll have enough cover when you need it. Remember, it’s always better to be over-insured, than under-insured!
