Add a valuable
Fill in what you know. The value, the purchase date and the receipt reference are the three things an insurer asks for first.
Coverage
What a home policy actually asks about
Most contents claims stall on the same handful of questions. Document these six areas and you answer all of them up front.
Valuables & collectibles
Jewellery, watches, art and antiques typically have a per-item cap and need a written appraisal to be scheduled separately.
Items away from home
Laptops, cameras and phones that travel. Check whether the limit applies worldwide or only inside the country.
Bicycles & outdoor gear
Often excluded from contents and needing their own policy. A frame number plus a photo is what a bike claim requires.
Musical instruments
Valued at replacement cost, and worth photographing with the serial number visible on the back of the headstock.
Documents & backups
Passports, deeds, contracts and digital archives. Keep a copy of this inventory somewhere other than the house.
Proof of ownership
A receipt beats a memory.
Five habits that turn a list of things into evidence an adjuster accepts.
-
Keep the receipt — or an appraisal
For anything inherited or bought secondhand, a dated valuation from a professional replaces the receipt.
-
Photograph the item, not just the box
One full view, one close-up of any damage or wear, and one of the serial plate. Daylight beats flash.
-
Record the serial or IMEI
It is the one detail a thief cannot remove from the police report, and the fastest way to prove the item was yours.
-
Store a copy outside the house
A fire or flood takes the receipts with it. Keep this inventory in the cloud, at a relative's, or in a bank box.
-
Re-audit once a year
Update values, delete what you sold, and add what you bought. Insurance payouts track today's replacement price, not the price you paid.
