MHIA Insurance may pay a policyholder (or carry out the works) in the event of a valid claim, up to a set financial limit. This is called the sum-insured and represents the maximum value of your policy. Choosing the right sum-insured for your property and contents is important. Should the worst happen and you have undervalued your assets, you may not have enough financial capacity to rebuild or replace all of your belongings. Web calculators that reference current building and replacement costs play an important part in helping you decide the sum-insured.

It is important to understand calculators provide only a guide for rebuilding your existing building. In some locations (such as those exposed to bushfires, floods and cyclones), rebuilding in the same style and materials after a total loss (for instance, if your building is destroyed or irreparably damaged in a fire) may not be possible due to local government regulations. Check with your local council or shire to find out if your property is in a hazard zone that may have a requirement for different building standards to apply in the event your property is a total loss. These different building standards could significantly affect your rebuilding costs. Factoring these additional costs into your sum-insured will be an important consideration. A qualified local builder may also provide further guidance on rebuilding costs in accordance with relevant building standards and local planning laws.
