HOW FIRST-LOSS PROTECTION WORKS
John's profile:
38 years old
Purchased GREAT Home Protect, a first-loss basis home insurance policy, with a building and renovation sum insured of S$50,000.
One day, a fire erupts in John’s kitchen. While he managed to extinguish the fire quickly, the incident caused damages, requiring that he spend S$80,000 to rebuild the kitchen and replace damaged appliances.
Cost of reinstating kitchen: S$80,000
Scenario A
with other home insurance plans
If his coverage were based on average-loss protection, the payout will be reduced proportionately due to the penalty imposed for under-insurance. The claimable amount would have been S$31,250.
