What’s on offer with State Home Insurance?
State offers a high-level home insurance policy – Comprehensive, and a lower level policy option – Essentials.
State’s comprehensive policy includes protection against the cost to replace or repair your house and belongings, if they are accidentally damaged, lost or stolen. With this cover, you’re entitled up to a predetermined set limit, which is determined by your specific situation. You’re also covered for the cost of alternative accommodation, up to $20,000, fixing damage done by hidden leaking water and replacing home office items, up to $7500.
The State Essentials policy also only covers up to a predetermined amount but is a more stripped-back version of the comprehensive policy, only covering the house and belongings in their present condition. This means you will receive a payment of the house and belongings’ current market value, or they will be repaired to the condition they were prior to the damage.
