important investment. Russell-Massey & Company of
Columbia, SC offers South Carolina coastal
homeowners insurance policies that have flexibility to
meet your individual needs and above all, provide you
with the security that comes only from the knowledge
that your home is safe.
Insurance for your home is one of the most popular
and important forms of personal insurance and the
typical South Carolina Coastal Homeowners
Insurance policy has two main sections:
Section I - insurance coverage for your property
Section II - personal liability coverage (to cover you
in case of lawsuits arising from things that happen
on your property)
Homeowners insurance is often required by lenders to
obtain a mortgage and nearly everyone, whether you
own or lease property, should have the protection of
homeowners insurance.

Covered losses under a South Carolina coastal homeowners insurance policy can be
paid on either a replacement cost basis or on an actual cash value basis. When
"actual cash value" is used, the policy owner is entitled to the depreciated value of the
damaged property. Therefore, the older the item is, the less money you may receive
for it. If you choose the "replacement cost" coverage, the South Carolina coastal
homeowners insurance policy will reinburse the amount it costs to replace the
property with something of a similar type and quality at current prices.
An "All Risks" policy provides the broadest South Carolina coastal homeowners
insurance protection because it will cover losses that are due to any peril except
those specifically excluded in the policy. A "Named Perils" policy covers losses that
are due to only those perils listed in the standard South Carolina Coastal
Homeowners Insurance policy and typically include fire, hail, windstorm, and other
physical losses.
South Carolina Coastal Homeowners Insurance Policy FAQ
If your policy limit is less than 80% of the replacement cost of your home, you will
face a "coinsurance penalty," which means you'll have out-of-pocket expenses to
cover costs beyond the policy deductible you chose. For example purposes we will
assume your home's estimated replacement value (RCV) is $100,000. The co-
insurance clause requires you carry at least $80,000 (80% of your RCV). If you
chose to purchase only a $40,000 South Carolina Coastal Homeowners Insurance
policy you would be underinsured by half. Therefore, in the example the insurance
company would pay one-half of a loss less the policy deductible, so if you suffered
a $10,000 covered loss to your house, condominium or townhouse and had a $500
deductible, your policy would only pay $4,500.
South Carolina Coastal Homeowners Insurance Policy FAQ
Personal liability in a South Carolina coastal homeowners insurance policy is also
an important part of having security from accidents that may occur on your
property. We suggest you choose coverage limits that are not less than those on
other liability insurance you own, such as car insurance.
