Underinsurance Could Cost Family Almost Half A Million

A recent insurance claim highlighted the fact that relying on an online calculator to establish the rebuild cost of your property could mean that you are underinsured in the event of a claim. A family suffered a total fire loss but were underinsured by £500,000. Insurers estimated that it would only have cost in the region of another £100 to insure the property for the correct rebuild sum insured.
