You must have an insurable interest in a property for the insurance company to pay your claim. If you have an insurable interest the claim will be paid. If you do not, be prepared to see you claim denied.

If the savings remained the same over many years it would take over 10 years of not having a claim for the lower premuim to bring you a savings. A claim in under 10 years will cost you more with the lower premuim.
Savings per year: $45 (if the savings amount and premuim stays the same)
Additional risk: $500 (that's the amount of risk you are taking by increasing your deductible.)
Ten years will save you $450. Even if you make a claim in the 10th year it is still the more expensive option by $50. After the 11th year you will start to save $45 a year.
The decision really depends on how much you can afford to pay and how much you are willing to pay to take that risk.... more

The biggest challenge with a luxury home is trying to determine a value to rebuild the home. Most luxury homes have a lot of customizations and usually will have some unique architecture. A thorough analysis is crucial to insuring the home at the right amount of coverage so the homeowner is able to be made whole again in the event of a loss.
Another challenge home owners face is that SOME companies replacement policies will not rebuild with upgraded features. They will only repair/rebuild the home with standard or contractors grade materials. Read your policy carefully.
The last challenge is the amount of insurance. Again, SOME companies will not write insurance on a home over a certain value, lets say $750,000. If the home will cost $1,500,000 to rebuild, some companies will not want to write the insurance on that home. The challenge is that you have less options when looking for rates to compare.
The good news is that companies that specialize in luxury homes, like Lexington or Fireman's Fund, have policies that are rich with coverages and priced to attract the customer they want to insure.... more
Insurance companies, agencies, and agents are regulated by the Department of Insurance. Many people feel that because they are small and the insurance company is big with even bigger pockets that they can only be a victim. I am not assuming that the agent or the company has done anything wrong since obviously we are only hearing a small part of the story based on your experience. The best thing to do when you are not sure whether a company is treating you fairly is to contact the Department of Insurance and ask questions. The department was established to regulate the insurance industry while protecting consumers from unscrupulous companies looking to take advantage of the public. 99.999% of the companies and agents really are trying hard to take care of the public but its not 100% Give the department a call and they will definitely give you support in discovering if you have been treated wrongly.
