Renewing property insurance in Thailand.

Review the risk and policy, not only the renewal premium.

Answer first

Before renewal, update property use, occupancy, renovations, insured values, contents, claims, flood exposure, liability and lender or building requirements. Compare the schedule, wording, exclusions, deductibles and limits rather than renewing automatically.

Which facts should be updated?

Which policy terms should be compared?

Compare renewal decisions with the separate property insurance claim checklist and landlord insurance checklist, and revisit flooding and monsoon season exposure each year rather than accepting the same flood terms automatically.

Continue through Owners, Learn and the directory.

Review the policy before renewal.

Keep the updated schedule and disclosure record together.

Frequently asked questions

Should renewal use last year's values?

Not automatically. Review current property, contents, use and replacement information.

Should claims and renovations be disclosed?

Provide accurate information requested by the insurer or intermediary.

Is building insurance enough for a condo owner?

Not necessarily. Compare common-property cover with unit improvements, contents and liability needs.
