WEBINAR
| ENHANCING | CURRENT TRENDS & ISSUES
Partly due to skyrocketing real estate prices, but also due
to concerns for the environment, and a yearning for a simpler life, the
tiny homes
movement has taken off, and with
it, concerns about the proper way to insure tiny
structures.
Laneway homes , which are homes built into
pre-existing lots, can help increase urban density and (theoretically) moderate
house prices in urban cities, including Vancouver and Toronto, but what is the
best way to insure them?
And while
insurance products readily exist to cover heritage and high-value
homes
, concerns about underinsurance and replacement
cost value are extremely common. Heritage homes have many unique characteristics
(think hand-carved elements) that are difficult to assess and include in
property evaluations, while high-value properties often raise questions about
whether adequate replacement cost coverage is in place.
Join our panel of experts for a discussion of the
wide range of unique properties from coast to coast. We will be talking about
underwriting considerations, new insurance products and their features, and will
provide claims
examples.
