What does rebuild cost mean?

Essentially, the rebuild cost of a home is the value of rebuilding the property in the event it's damaged beyond repair. The cost will take into account the price of materials and labour required to complete a rebuild.

Various details affect a rebuild cost such as the materials used to build the property, special features, whether it is a listed building and more.

What's the difference between the rebuild cost of my home and the market value?

The rebuild cost is different to the market value of the property. This is because market value also takes into account additional factors such as location, supply and demand in the area, school catchment and more.

Because of this, your home's market value is typically higher than its rebuild cost. It's important to know this when it comes to getting a quote for home insurance etc. You'll be asked to enter a rebuild cost, and if you use the property market value instead, you could end up paying more for your insurance.

Is it important to know the rebuild cost of my home?

Estimating the rebuild cost of your property can help you decide how much home insurance cover is right for you if your home was damaged beyond repair.

Crucially, if you underestimate the rebuild value, your insurer may not cover the full cost of a rebuild. And you'll have to fork out the difference from your own pocket, which could be expensive.
