Buildings insurance in the Netherlands without commission

Why rebuilding value is often the recommended starting point

For buildings insurance, you typically insure the cost of rebuilding the home if it were completely lost. That is the rebuilding value. The market value of the home often tells you less, because land, location and scarcity are part of market price but usually not the construction cost. A suitable policy starts with the correct valuation.

If you renovate, add an extension or install solar panels, it is often advisable to update the policy. Otherwise the home's value can rise faster than the insured sum. Underinsurance can remain hidden until the moment it matters most.

The conditions that can matter after a claim

• Check whether the policy has automatic indexation.
• Ask whether solar panels, fixed outdoor lighting and charging points are included.
• Review the rules for using the insurer's repair network.
• Look closely at the deductible for storm, water or glass damage.

Commission-free comparison keeps the focus on cover

A commission-free comparison helps show whether a more expensive buildings policy really has better terms or is simply more expensive because margin is built in. For a homeowner, a key question is whether the policy has the appropriate rebuilding value, indexation and claims handling, not just the lowest monthly price.
