The easiest way to understand Sum Insured 👇
Think of your property like a cup of coffee:
☕ The Cup = The Land (It doesn't burn down, get stolen, or blow away).
☕ The Coffee = The House (This is what actually costs money to replace).
When setting your house insurance, you ONLY need to insure the coffee—the actual cost to rebuild the structure, clear the site, and pay council fees.
Insuring for your total purchase price means you’re paying insurance on dirt! 💸
