Albany, NY is a great environment for living, working, and raising your family. Your homeowners policy gives you the needed security and protection you need so you know that if anything happens your family will be able to move on without starting all over again.
But is home insurance required by law? There is no law in New York which requires anyone who owns a home to purchase an insurance policy. However, you may still be required to have a policy, and there may even be limits and deductibles you are required to meet.
Just as a landlord may require tenants to have renters insurance to protect their personal possessions, your mortgage holder will probably require you to hold a homeowners policy. The bank or lender which holds the mortgage also has an interest in the property, meaning that if the house burns down before you finish paying off your mortgage, the lender suffers a loss too.
At NY Twin Bridges Insurance Agency, we work with our clients to find the policy that best suits their individual needs. Besides the structure itself, you will want to protect your possessions inside the home.
Basic coverage will protect fixtures like your big appliances and flooring, but you can also get coverage for personal items like movies, clothing and bedding. While not necessarily covered by a standard policy, you can add protection for other items not covered, like valuable jewelry.
You want to protect your home in Albany, NY even if you have paid off your mortgage. If you are like most people, your home is your biggest investment.
If you want to make sure you have the protection you need, we at Twin Bridges Insurance Agency are happy to help. Call today with any questions or a free quote.
