Rebuild Cost for Insurance: Why It Matters

In short: Buildings insurance should cover the cost of rebuilding your home, including demolition, site clearance and professional fees, not its market value. Many homes cost less to rebuild than they would sell for, but listed, period and unusual homes can cost more. Underinsuring can lead an insurer to reduce claims proportionately (an "average" clause). The BCIS online calculator gives an estimate for standard houses; get a professional assessment for listed, very large or non-standard homes. For flats, the freeholder usually insures the whole building.
