Comprehensive home insurance = five covers for home losses

Comprehensive home insurance linked with MyHome Insurance consists of five covers that protect your home and housing from costs caused by minor and major losses. Unless agreed otherwise, you will also automatically receive general liability insurance and legal expenses insurance with your comprehensive home insurance if you have determined that the insurance at least covers the contents of your home.

Breakage and loss cover

Breakage and loss cover compensates when your property is damaged as a result of an external event, or you lose the property – for example, if a television falls when being moved or a pot of paint falls and paint is splashed on a brick wall. Under this cover, the insurance will never cover any damage or loss covered by any of the other types of cover mentioned above.

Price of comprehensive home insurance

The price of comprehensive home insurance depends on a number of factors, such as the location and year of construction of the object to be insured, age of the policyholder, and the purpose of use of the insured apartment. The price of the comprehensive home insurance also depends on the covers you have selected, the maximum compensations and deductibles selected for the covers, the number of instalments you have selected, and any discounts you may have received from your other transactions.

You will see the price of the comprehensive home insurance and all factors affecting the price when you go to the Webshop to buy the insurance. The information you have entered will only be saved in connection with the purchase, so you can easily compare the prices of the home insurance before purchasing.

Comprehensive home insurance for a tenant

Lessors often require that the future tenant takes out comprehensive home insurance to cover the rented flat. You can select your housing type and easily cover the rented flat with comprehensive home insurance including general liability insurance online. When you have covered the rented flat with comprehensive home insurance, you can easily show the existence of the insurance to the lessor with OP-mobile’s automatically-downloading home insurance card.
