5 Factors Included in Your Home Insurance Premium

You might be wondering how Houston home insurance premiums are decided. Typically, each company has a slightly different formula that they use to create your premium, but the majority will include the following areas.

1. Construction Type – What type of material was used to create your home (wood, brick, stucco, etc.)
2. Location – Your physical locations distance to a fire/police department, propensity for weather related claims and crime rates can play a roll.
3. Degree of Coverage – the value of the contents of your property within the house, your liability restrictions and the amount of coverage you request will affect your premiums.
4. Loss Valuation – Will your policy pay the actual cash value or the amount it costs to recoup the lost items?
5. Age of Home – older homes don’t usually have discounts available while new homes do.
