Common questions

Is buildings cover based on market value?

No — buildings cover is based on rebuild value (the cost to reconstruct your home), which is usually different from its market value.

Are my contents covered away from home?

Portable items like laptops and jewellery need Portable Possessions cover for cover away from your home.

What's excluded from standard cover?

Gradual wear and tear, and damage from lack of maintenance, are typically excluded — ask your adviser for the full exclusions list.

Not sure what your home is worth to rebuild?

An adviser at Mzansi Advisors can help you calculate an accurate rebuild value — at no extra cost.
