Is Home Insurance Compulsory?

While home insurance is not compulsory in Singapore, there are several reasons why you should consider getting home insurance for your property:

  • Check

    Coverage for fire and accidental damages to your property.

  • Check

    Protection against theft.

  • Check

    Liability coverage.

Who Needs Home Insurance?

Everyone who owns or lives in a property would need home insurance.

  • Homeowner

    Homeowner

    To cover the loss or damages to your home and household contents.

  • Landlord

    Landlord

    To cover the loss of rental income if the accidental damage to the property renders it uninhabitable.

  • Tenant

    Tenant

    To cover the expenses for temporary alternative accommodation in the event where the property is uninhabitable due to accidental damage.

What Does Home Insurance Not Cover?

Typically, home insurance covers insured perils such as fire, theft or attempted theft by forcible entry, natural disasters, and more. However, if the loss or damage is caused by an event which is not in the insured perils list under the policy terms, it will not be covered — unless it is an all-risk policy that covers everything except the risks that are specifically excluded in the policy.


Common General Exclusions
War and terrorism.
Any loss or damage arising from illegal acts.
The order of any public or government authorities.
Mysterious or unexplained loss.
Wear and tear.

How Do I File A Home Insurance Claim?

Most insurers have online portals where you can submit your claim along with all supporting documents.

  • No waiting

    Note 1: Do not wait too long to submit a claim

    Most insurers will require you to make the claim within 30 days of the event. You would want to submit your claim form as soon as possible, as the insurance companies usually take some time to process your claim.

  • Originals

    Note 2: Keep originals of everything

    For all the claims that you make, including the claims that are submitted via the online portals, you will still need to prove its authenticity. This means producing the original documents when the insurance companies request for them. Therefore, do keep the original documents and have them ready when the insurer asks for them. Examples of claim documents include the police report/investigation results and incident report for theft, assessment report from the repairer on the cause and the extent of the damage, invoice or purchase receipt of the lost/damaged property, photographs of the damaged item for content claims, writ of summons from third-party liability claims.

  • Adjuster

    Note 3: Cooperate with the loss adjuster hired by the insurer

    Insurers usually hire loss adjusters to access the damages. Therefore, it is important to cooperate with the loss adjuster and assist them.

  • FAQ

    What is the all-risk coverage basis in a home insurance policy?

    All-risk coverage is on an exclusion basis, covering everything except for listed events. On the other hand, insured perils basis provides coverage only for specific events as stated in the policy wordings.

  • FAQ

    What is the first-loss basis in a home insurance policy?

    In a first-loss basis policy, compensation for a loss or damage due to an insured peril is based on the total insured value, regardless of the actual value of the lost or damaged item. Unlike an average clause basis policy which insures the assets at full value, a first-loss basis policy compensates up to the insured amount as indicated in the policy.

  • FAQ

    What is under-insurance?

    You must insure your property (building, renovations, and household contents) for their full reinstatement or replacement values, otherwise you will be considered to be under-insured. Under-insurance is when the insurance coverage you have chosen is less than the full reinstatement and replacement cost. The table below shows examples of under-insurance:

    CoverFull Reinstatement and Replacement CostInsurance Coverage You Have Chosen
    Building and RenovationsS$600,000S$300,000
    Household ContentsS$50,000S$20,000

    In the above example, you are under-insured by S$300,000 for the building and renovations, and S$30,000 for the household contents.

  • FAQ

    What happens if I under-insure my property?

    If there is an under-insurance, you will be responsible for a share of the loss or damage in the event of a claim. Take the below table as an example:

    CoverShare that You are Responsible For in the Event of a ClaimAmount You Have to Pay in the Event of a Claim
    Building and RenovationsS$300,000 = amount that you are under-insured for. S$600,000 = full reinstatement cost at the date of loss. S$300,000/S$600,000 = 50%If there is a S$100,000 cost incurred for your building or renovations, you will need to pay S$50,000 (50% of the damage on building or renovations)
    Household ContentsS$30,000 = amount that you are under-insured for. S$50,000 = full reinstatement cost at the date of loss. S$30,000/S$50,000 = 60%If there is a S$10,000 cost incurred for your household contents, you will need to pay S$6,000 (60% of the damage on building or renovations)
  • FAQ

    How do I determine the appropriate sum insured for the renovations of my house?

    The benefit limit should be the current cost of replacing the renovations in your house. You can use the price you paid for the renovations as an estimate or you may seek professional advice from an interior designer or contractor.

    Tips when getting home insurance

    • Check

      Buy the coverage that you require. There are insurers who allow customisation of insurance plans. For example, for homeowners who already have the compulsory fire insurance that covers the building, it makes sense to look out for a customisable home insurance plan that focuses on coverage for the renovations and household contents.

    • Check

      Some insurers grant discounts for a longer duration plan. For instance, Liberty provides a 15% discount for a three-year plan.

    • Check

      Do not under-insure your premise. If the coverage that you have chosen is lower than the full reinstatement or replacement cost, you will have to be responsible for a share of the damage or loss in the event of a claim.

    • Check

      Compare premiums across insurers. Look out for seasonal promotions, discounts and offers!
