Why do you need one?
Insurance appraisals help property owners, strata corporations, and investors ensure accurate replacement cost coverage while reducing financial risk and supporting long-term planning.
Sufficient Insurance Coverage
An insurance appraisal helps ensure that your property has sufficient insurance coverage in the event of a loss, including damage or destruction by wind, fire, or other insured risks.
Avoid Co-insurance
When a property does not have a current appraisal, it may be subject to a co-insurance clause requiring the owner to self-insure a percentage of the replacement cost.
Avoid Overpayment on Premiums
A current replacement cost appraisal helps ensure you are carrying the proper amount of insurance and not overpaying for excessive coverage.
Fulfill Fiduciary Duty
An up-to-date appraisal assists strata councils, boards, and owners in estimating the correct replacement value for insurance and planning purposes.
