Navigating your upcoming move and insurance coverage
Embarking on a move this year? Beyond the boxes and packing tape, it’s essential to consider the insurance aspects to ensure your transition is as smooth as possible. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the process, and how your insurance coverage can support you during your move.
Securing your new residence
Before relocating, review your home insurance policy with Westland Insurance. Ensure that your new property is adequately covered from the moment you assume ownership or tenancy. Discuss any necessary adjustments to coverage limits or additional endorsements tailored to your new home’s specific needs.
For those moving into rental properties, tenant insurance is crucial. Westland Insurance offers policies that protect your personal belongings against risks like theft, fire, or water damage. Liability protection is also included.
Documenting your new space
Pre-move home inspection: Before moving in, conduct a thorough inspection of your new home. Document existing damages and take photographs. This record is important for resolving potential disputes with landlords or insurance claims.
High-value item coverage
If you own high-value items such as jewelry, art, or collectibles, ask your broker about adding endorsements to your policy. This ensures these items are fully covered during the move and in your new home.
Coverage during transit
The journey from your old home to the new one can be perilous for your possessions. Westland Insurance provides coverage options that safeguard your belongings while in transit, ensuring they arrive safely at your new residence.
Preparing for the unexpected
Even with meticulous planning, unforeseen events can occur. You can explore comprehensive insurance coverage with a Westland Insurance broker, which provides a safety net, allowing you to address unexpected challenges without undue stress.

By incorporating these insurance-focused steps into your moving plan, you can alleviate potential worries and focus on settling into your new home. Westland Insurance is committed to supporting you throughout this transition, offering tailored coverage options to suit your needs.
