Guide to Homeowners Insurance Coverage in 2024

Clients

Homeowners insurance typically covers a range of situations and damages to your home and personal property. Here’s a general guide to what homeowners insurance typically covers: It’s important to note that homeowners insurance policies may vary in terms of coverage limits, exclusions, and optional endorsements. Some events, such as floods and earthquakes, are typically not covered by standard homeowners insurance and require separate policies. Additionally, certain types of damage, such as wear and tear or neglect, are usually not covered. When shopping for homeowners insurance, it’s essential to carefully review the policy details, understand what’s covered and what’s not, and consider any additional coverage options you may need based on your location and circumstances.

The value of new housing loans in Australia surged by 17.9% annually, reaching $27.6 billion after a 3.1% growth just in the month of March, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has reported. “The value of new loan commitments is a product of the size of loans being approved and the volume of loans,” said Mish Tan (pictured), ABS head of finance statistics. “The rise in the value of new home loans over the past year reflected increases in the average loan size, in line with rising house prices over the same period. “Meanwhile, in original terms, the number of loans reaching the final commitment stage is broadly similar to a year ago.” You may read the whole article here:https://tinyurl.com/56jytta5

Celebrity chef Michael Lambie had been looking for a venue to open a new style of restaurant for a year and a half before he chanced on the perfect site at the perfect time – a renewed blaze of confidence in the Melbourne CBD. “It just felt that the time was finally right,” said Lambie, the luminary behind Melbourne icons Stokehouse, Circa the Prince, Taxi Dining Room, Lucy Liu and The Smith. “To open up in Melbourne right after COVID would have been suicidal and I wanted to allow some time for the economy to recover. “But it now feels that Melbourne is bouncing back, with a lot of new businesses opening. I’m in the city most days and the really good places are really busy, so the money is definitely there. You just have to be good enough to persuade people to spend.” You may read the whole article here:https://tinyurl.com/3b2djce5
