What is your home’s rebuild cost?

Accurately calculating your home’s rebuild cost not only helps you get the right level of cover for your home, but it protects you against underinsurance too. 

Our Irish property rebuild cost calculator will give you an estimate of your home’s rebuild cost. To do this, you will need to input some basic information about your home such as its size, location, and build type.

Factors that might affect my home insurance quote

There are many factors that impact the cost of your home insurance premium:

Location

You will pay more for your home insurance if your property is at risk of flooding or subsidence, or if your area has a high volume of claims.

Rebuild cost

This is the amount it would cost to rebuild your home from scratch. This figure should be as accurate as possible to ensure you’re sufficiently covered.

Contents value

What would it cost to replace all the items you’d take with you if you moved house? High-value items may require extra cover, depending on policy limits.

Type of property

The size, construction, and roof type of your house will affect your premium. Timber-frame and flat-roof houses cost more to insure.

Your claims history

Insurers often offer discounts when homeowners don’t make a claim for a number of years.

Security measures

Having quality window and door locks and a working house alarm can bring your premium down.

Level of cover

Adding extra coverage to your policy will increase the price you pay.

Age of building

Older buildings cost more to insure, particularly if they are listed.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. You can cancel your policy within the 14-day cooling-off period that begins either from the date you receive your policy documents, or from the date your policy starts. If you cancel during this period, your premium will be refunded.

You can usually cancel your policy outside of the 14-day window as long as you haven’t made a claim. You will be refunded the part of your premium that covers the remaining days of your policy.

Home insurance is not a legal requirement, but most mortgage lenders require buildings insurance to be in place before releasing funds. If you own your home outright, it is still strongly recommended to protect you against damage or loss.
