The replacement value for a home's structure is the amount it would cost for materials and labor to rebuild your home. This value does not include the land, therefore it isn't the real estate value.

Baja Bound provides a structure value estimator during our quote process. It's important to know that this is only an estimate and the value should be increased or decreased accordingly.

How to find the most accurate value? Consider asking your real estate agent if they can provide an estimate. Builders and contractors are also great resources to help find the replacement value.

It’s recommended to create a home inventory. A home inventory will help you organize the estimated replacement values of your belongings. It's also ideal to have an inventory in case of a claim since it makes the claims process easier and faster. Most people have no idea how much they own, so a home inventory helps significantly.

There are many home inventory apps available online. Photos and videos of your belongings can be easily stored on your phone and in the cloud.

Note that in case of a claim, proof of ownership in the form of receipts/invoices and/or photos will be requested by the insurance company.

For higher priced valuables (those over the coverage limits stated on the quote page) special coverage may be requested from the insurance company, but it is not guaranteed. Valuables must be submitted to HDI for approval before the policy may be issued.

In case of a claim, the HDI Seguros will require invoices or receipts as proof of ownership.
