Information on household contents

Sum insured
The sum specified in the insurance policy, which becomes due when the insured event occurs. The proposed sum insured is calculated based on the number of rooms, the standard of furnishings and the number of persons living in the household.

 

Piece of advice: Define a rather generous sum since the compensation paid in the event of loss is reduced proportionately in case of underinsurance (i.e. sum insured below real value).

    Basic household contents

    The basic household contents include fitments (furniture, curtains, etc.), household machines, crockery, bedding, clothes and shoes, comestible goods as well as personal objects that are brought by guests (i.e. guests' belongings).

    The calculation of the basic household contents(at original value) is based on the number of rooms, the standard of furnishings and the number of persons living in the household. In case of special furnishing, it is recommended to adjust the sum insured accordingly. The total value of the objects concerned (basic and supplementary household contents) can be assessed with the home contents calculator.
