Cheap Home Insurance - Your Location Is Costing You
There are many things that will make it easy or otherwise for you to get cheap home insurance.
Location is one of them and we'll see how it determines how cheap your home insurance rates are.
We'll also see how to get cheap rates because of, or in spite of, our home's location...
1) You'll pay more expensive rates if you get a home in a neighborhood which has only a volunteer fire service in place of a full-time fire service.
In addition, how close your home is to a fire station or hydrant will affect your homeowners insurance premium.
If your house is nearer to such facilities, you'll pay cheaper home insurance rates.
2) You will do well also to buy your home as close as possible to a police station.
This as well will help in lowering your home insurance premium.
3) Buy your home as far away from trouble spots as you can.
Insurers see homes in such neighborhoods as bad risks and higher rates are the unavoidable consequence.
And, even if you think a neighborhood is a crime-free area, do your very best to double check.
You can find out by inquiring from an insurance agent or using a quotes site.
A house could be on the borders of crime zones and therefore result in nearby streets being grouped to different districts with respect to crime rate.
4) This is essential in spite of the fact that it's not usually part of a homeowners policy.
Homes in flood-prone locations are not regarded as being properly insured without a flood insurance policy and this means around $500 yearly.
Every mortgagor will require that you have flood insurance if your home is in a flood-prone locality.
Apart from if you really think such extra spend is a wise compromise, you'll spend less if you buy a home in an area that won't call for flood insurance.
5) One sure way to guarantee cheap home insurance is if you get and compare quotes from as many as five (not less than three) insurance sites.
You can save a few hundred dollars or even more depending on your profile and other factors.
