🏡 House Insurance – Protect Your Home with WebInsure


✅ House Insurance That Protects What Matters Most

Your family home is likely your biggest investment. 🏠 Yet many homeowners only discover how inadequate their cover is when it’s time to make a claim.
At WebInsure, we help you secure House Insurance that genuinely protects your home and contents, not just ticks boxes.

We carefully tailor house insurance solutions to ensure you’re covered for the true cost of rebuilding, replacing, and recovering. 💰


📚 What is House Insurance?

House Insurance protects your home, your belongings, and your financial security from events like:

  • 🔥 Fire

  • 🌪️ Storm and weather damage

  • 🛠️ Accidental damage

  • 💧 Water damage and flooding (if included)

  • 🚪 Theft and break-ins

  • 🎨 Malicious damage and vandalism

We offer flexible, affordable policies that can cover:

  • 🏡 Mansions and high-value homes

  • 🏘️ Standard family homes

  • 🏠 Townhouses, duplexes, and units

  • 🏚️ Sheds and outbuildings


⚠️ Beware of the Common House Insurance Traps

🔧 Replacement Cost vs Market Value

Many people mistakenly insure their home for the market value, but what you need is the replacement value—the true rebuild cost.

After a major event, building costs often skyrocket due to:

  • Labour shortages

  • Material shortages

  • Emergency rebuilding fees

👉 Tip: Always insure for full replacement value, not just the sale price.

🏗️ Architect Fees & Debris Removal

Make sure your policy includes:

  • ✔️ Architect and engineering costs

  • ✔️ Council application fees

  • ✔️ Debris removal (can cost $25,000+ for an average home)

🪑 Contents New for Old

If you want to replace your contents brand new, you must insure them for their full replacement cost—not their second-hand value.
👉 Otherwise, you may only receive a fraction of what it costs to actually replace your items.


⚙️ Accidental Damage vs Defined Events – Which One Do You Need?

🎯 Accidental Damage Cover

Covers genuine accidents like:

  • Bleach spills on carpet

  • Kids damaging furniture

  • Misplaced DIY drilling through a pipe

👉 Accidental Damage = Broad protection for unexpected accidents.

🌩️ Defined Events Cover

Only covers specific events listed in the policy, like:

  • Fire

  • Storm

  • Theft

  • Lightning strikes (some policies require the strike to physically occur at your home to qualify)

👉 Defined Events = Cheaper, but more restrictive.

❌ Common Misconceptions About House Insurance

“My home is insured for the market value—it’s enough.”

👉 No, you need replacement cost cover. The market value may fall short by hundreds of thousands after a disaster.

“I’ve got storm cover—so I must have flood cover.”

👉 Not necessarily. Flood and storm cover are usually separate. Check your policy carefully.

“I only need basic cover to satisfy the bank.”

👉 Minimum cover can leave you severely out of pocket when it’s time to rebuild.

“I don’t need accidental damage—it won’t happen to me.”

👉 Accidents like bleach spills, pet damage, and DIY mistakes are far more common than you think.


🗂️ Real-World Case Study: Avoiding Underinsurance

Client: Suburban homeowner with outdated policy
Issue: A kitchen fire caused major damage and debris costs were far higher than expected.
Outcome: The original policy didn’t include debris removal or updated rebuild costs.
WebInsure intervened, adjusted the policy mid-term, and secured a payout that fully covered:

  • Demolition and debris removal

  • Full kitchen and structural rebuild

  • New-for-old contents replacement

👉 Without the correct updates, the family would have faced a $90,000 shortfall.


❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How often should I review my house insurance?

At least annually, or any time you renovate, upgrade, or significantly change your home contents.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes. We offer monthly premium funding to make payments more manageable.

Does house insurance cover my tools or equipment?

Not automatically. Portable Items Cover is available to protect valuables inside and outside the home.

Can I change my cover later?

Yes. You can increase or adjust your cover as your home, risk profile, or contents change.
