Slippery Slide To Under-Insurance By Aussie Home Inventories Submitted
at 2/17/2008 5:24:04 PM Are You On The Slippery Slide To
Under-Insurance? Would You Know You Were, Assuming You Are Correctly
Insured In The First Place? Why Are There So Many Australians
Under-Insured And How Did They Become Under-Insured? This article will
supply answers to the above questions creating an awareness of the
under-insurance problem in Australia. Information allowing the
realisation and elimination of under-insurance from the insurance
policies covering home contents of home owners in Australia. Most
Australian home owners assume they are correctly insured and therefore
never check to see if they are not. There are many Australians every
year finding it hard to face up to the fact their insurance cover was
not sufficient, at the time of making a claim to replace all of their
home and contents. A lot of Aussie home owners simply believe there is
a 'system' in place to stop underinsurance affecting them. When Aussie
Home Inventories asked some of their clients to explain what this
'system' was, it was often reported as, Well the insurance company has
all the information and they will take care of it. After all, that is
what we are paying them for! If there is a 'system' in place, then it
must be failing as there are so many Australians still under-insured?
The answer simply could be home owners never check their content cover
correctly, because they do not realise they have to and importantly
they are not being reminded to. How often does an insurance company at
renewal time, ask for the value of contents purchased throughout the
year? Some of the known facts about underinsurance are: The insurance
companies know there is an under-insurance problem. The home owner is
not being made aware they may have underinsurance. The home owner is
not aware of how to eliminate under-insurance. Any loss due to
under-insurance will be the responsibility of the home owner. Most home
owners only find out about under-insurance when filing a claim. To find
out at this time can mean: You are going to receive a loss! Your
home and lifestyle is not going to recover as quickly as it could have!
Home owners if made aware of under -insurance, would check their
contents value and correct the insurance policy. Home owners NEED to be
made aware of underinsurance! If insurance companies assumed everyone
to be underinsured unless proven, an increase of correct home content
cover would result. A small amount of extra marketing from the
insurance companies would kick start the process. The proof of content
value being supplied by the home owner. More correct policies, less
disputes, easier claims. With a system as fine tuned like this, we can
only hope for bigger discounts on the premiums! When anyone makes a
claim the last thing they want to here is the word under-insurance! The
timing for that under-insurance word is not good, as the customer has
just occurred a loss to their family home! If we could make sure
under-insurance would not affect us we would, is what Aussie Home
Inventories hears from prospective clients. The only way to keep on top
of the under-insurance problem is to take control of the value of home
contents. Every Australian home owner needs to spend time accurately
working out what the contents in the home are worth. Time spent now on
evaluating content worth, will save time and money over time! Could
you supply a value for new contents purchased last year? If you
cannot answer this question immediately, how long would it take to find
the information? Do you have this value recorded from your last
insurance cover renewal? If you are not aware of your home content
value, then it is correct to say the insurance company is not either!
The insurance company has given you some help though, they have added a
5-10% increase to your contents cover renewal. What kind of household
is this 5-10% increase suitable for? Yours or Mr. Average! Do you
remember what the increase in the home contents cover, was for your
last paid premium? Was it stated or was there just a renewal figure?
Were you asked to input your new content purchases for the year? OK
if we assume the insurance company is making an assumption as to what
you have spent, then what happens when you have spent more? There is a
lot of assuming here by everyone and we know where that leads us! Is
this insurance policy not meant to be covering everything owned in the
home? These are hard earned belongings and items of sentimental value,
souvenirs of your life! It is time to sit down and try to work out what
is covered and what is not! The TIME IS NOW! Everybody thinks they are
covered, but what is far more better is knowing for sure! When you send
those dollars out of the door to the insurance company you want
assurance you are going to collect TOTAL REPLACEMENT FOR ANY LOSS!
After all that is what the insurance cover is for! Are the insurance
companies trying hard enough to find out the basic facts? If only they
asked for information at policy renewal time such as: Enter the
amount spent on contents last year. List the items and values. This
would make the insurance companies life easier, allowing them to work
out if the content cover has been increased enough and looking at the
separate items, add extra cover types if needed for special items such
as artworks, jewellery, computers etc. Remember it is the home owners
responsibility in all cases to have the correct information, to have
all the details and supply all the details to the insurance company. An
insurance company asking for information at renewal time would help
everyone. An answer to why there are so many under-insured home owners
in Australia could simply be, unawareness! There would be few people
aware of the fact and ignoring it, as they may as well not pay the
insurance cover premium! To be aware you must be prepared and that
means working out values for content cover, by taking stock of home
contents. This means all of the contents in the home, garage, basement,
storage, loft and sheds need to have a value added! Not an easy task
for many homeowners! If this process sounds to daunting a solution is
to use a Home Inventory Service. Professionals that take on the job,
remove the worry, the doubt and produce a simple solution. This
solution being an accurate, complete Digital Photographic Home
Inventory of home contents. Information needed to find out what the
home contents are worth! The next step is to inform the insurance
company of the newly revised home contents value. Advising them that a
professional home inventory has been carried out recording all the home
contents, validating ownership and presence, on a specific date. This
home inventory is easily 'on hand' at all times if so required. Ask the
insurance company for any discounts due to the home inventory been
performed. The correct cover for the contents of the home has now been
reached supplying peace of mind for many home owners. Staying away from
the slippery slide into under-insurance means keeping aware of home
content additions and adding these to the inventory. Let us assume a
home has contents of $30000. A year later the renewal arrives and the
policy has increased by 10% of the content value covered, ie by $3000
to $33000. Checking the list of newly purchased items reports $4850.
Simply going ahead and paying the premium without adjustments equals
under-insurance of 4850 - 3000 = 1850! The correct value of the cover
should be amended to $34850. Not many home owners that Aussie Home
Inventories has come across even bother to do this easy step! The
information needs to be supplied to the insurance company to stop this
slide into under-insurance. Not to forget that some of these items may
be breaking the maximum cover per item! Clarify the large expenses with
the insurance company, especially those that fall under types such as
art, jewellery, computers etc. Once a home inventory has been
completed, it is easy to stay away from under-insurance by keeping the
inventory up to date. A Home Inventory Service will be able to do this
for by offering an Annual Update Program. Details are forwarded to the
Home Inventory Service where they will supply you and the insurance
company with the updated inventory. Aussie Home Inventories surveyed
more than 100 people, asking them if they knew what there home content
purchases were for the last year. Most replied with the question, What
would they need to know that for! When the same people were then asked
if they had contents cover and if they had paid the premium last year
the answer was generally YES! The next question asked was, How does
your insurance company know what you spent on new purchases, because
remember they added the amount to your premium renewal! Next there was
silence! The crystal ball at the insurance company has not worked for
some time now! Remember there is only one way to reduce and eliminate
under-insurance covering home contents. Follow these easy steps:
Workout and record your home contents worth. Keep a record of the
years new content purchases. Update you insurance company with these
details at renewal time. By following the above you will eliminate the
chance of underinsurance and keep all items insured for their correct
amount, under the correct type of cover. You will also be prepared for
loss due to disaster, emergency or theft. You chances of recovery will
be more speedily, returning your lifestyle to a level at which you are
accustomed. Help your family and friends to avoid the slippery slide to
under-insurance by forwarding them this article or the following
questions: How Well Does Your Insurance Company Look After You? When
you purchase household goods throughout the year, do you add this added
value to your premium? Does your insurance supplier ask you for the
details of these household goods at premium renewal time? What is the
annual increase in premium made up of? Are you aware of the severity
of under-insurance problem in Australia? Has your insurance supplier
made you aware that you may be underinsured? If you suspect you may
be underinsured how & when are you going to correct your cover?
If you suffered a 100% loss and were only 65% covered could you
replace the missing 35%? If you have corrected this underinsurance,
do you have an up to date inventory? When are you going to start your
home inventory? If you have an home inventory is it stored in a fire
data safe or outside of your home? SLIPPERY page 6 FeedJournal Basic 3

well before home contents are placed in their cardboard cocoons! The
process finishing once the home has been settled into. This 'settling
time' often taking a few months! Your new home has been advertised
as, 'New Goods To Arrive Soon!' WHOOPS! By the real estate agent! You
are most likely unaware of the security and crime issues in this new
area. If you asked the previous home owners or real estate agent they
most likely, GUESS WHAT? Reported NO crime, or security issues in the
area! NO PROBLEMS! After all their main objective is to SELL the home!

property, not taking into account, those unwanted home contents that
were discarded and the new ones added! It is anyone's guess as to what
the contents are accurately worth at this time! This could be one of
the many reasons why 35% of Australian homes, have contents that are
underinsured! Could you recover from a loss if you were found to be 25%
under-insured on your contents? If your contents are worth $55,000,
that is a BIG LOSS! Of course like most people this task of sitting
down one day and taking inventory and correct the contents cover seems
to get forgotten! The contents cover remains unknown and usually
under-insured! Yet again there is another reason for having a property

relocation, is much more than a trip in the car, with your household
contents following somewhere in a van! Ask yourself these questions:
Usually when people move and relocate they reduce home contents, pack
the boxes and move. Arriving in the new home to reduce some of those
contents again! Replacing contents with new items that fit more
harmoniously, into their new surroundings! Never leave these item's
cardboard boxes outside the home! They make a statement! This is a very
exciting time for a burglar, as you are now advertising what you have
inside your home! Well as you are now aware, it is time to act. Time to
get that inventory taken! Aussie Home Inventories aims to make 'people
aware', of how easy it is to be prepared! With your accurate Relocation
/ Moving Inventory it is time for the day of relocation! You arrive at
your new home knowing that if any damage or loss has occurred in the
relocation process, you have full documentation to prove this. You have
documentation that will allow you to prove ownership and condition of
property in case of loss through disaster, emergency or theft. Over the
next few weeks of 'settling time' you can finalise your home security
and optimise your home insurance contents cover. What do you know
about the crime rate of the area you are moving into? Have you looked
at the security aspects of your home? Does it back onto vacant land and
who are your neighbours? What security features does the new home
have, and are they fully functional? These questions need answers!
Before the moving process starts. To allow this awareness to create New
home owners are often unaware of their new surroundings and home's
security, forgetting to turn alarm systems on when not in the routine!
They often take weeks to have an alarm installed! At this time, home
and contents are vulnerable to theft! Suffering a loss through theft
and having no inventory makes it difficult to prove what was stolen!
There is no record to expedite theft recovery! Another issue is where
the insurance cover has been amended for the It is important to realise
that when you move and relocate, you are increasing the risk of loss to
your valued possessions, what you have worked hard for during your

accurate record, of what you are about to box! All details are recorded

require at the time of loss? How can I find out if there is under

new purchases throughout the year, new decorations and renovations?

4:04:22 PM after a loss, life returns to as it was and with the same
quality? Adequate insurance cover is only available if the insurance
supplier has the correct information. In other words a complete record
or inventory of what you own. It may be said that often we assume that
by some magic the insurance company, has peeked into our home and
calculated the added purchases, that we have made over the last year.
If you were create a list of these purchases, would they all be
included the insurance premium? Most people when calculating these
purchases have found themselves to be unknowingly under-insured! Not
knowing this, they would have simply paid the 510% increase in annual
premium, thinking all their household goods were covered! What a relief
to know otherwise before a claim is made! Climate change is the word on
everyone's lips nowadays, with the media reporting an endless supply of
disaster after disaster. Australia has had it's fair share of bushfires
& floods over the last year. With the increase and severity of
these natural disasters, it is no wonder that the insurance companies
are starting to make the task of proving ownership the responsibility
of the homeowner, before a claim is paid! It makes common sense if you
are paying an insurance premium, that you know you are covered
correctly and are going to receive a payout at the level you expect!
Otherwise why are you paying the premium? Proof of ownership is easily
demonstrated by recording item descriptions, serial / model numbers,
receipts & warranties backed up by photographs and appraisals.
Spending time NOW to create a home inventory is a smart idea! Helping
to protect yourself and relieve the trauma of loss through disaster,
accident and theft! In today's fast paced world the quickest and most
accurate way to create this Throughout your working life you will have
worked hard towards your retirement, building assets and accumulating
personal property. You will have : Insured your property &
contents against loss through natural disaster, accident or theft.
Prepared a will in readiness for asset reallocation. You no doubt feel
that you have done your very best in preparing yourselves, having
insurance cover and a will in place. Ask yourself these questions : Are
you 100% sure, your property & content insurance cover is
enough? Are you aware of your net worth and importantly are your
heirs aware of the value and significance, of what they will inherit?
To answer these questions with certainty you need to know what you are
truly worth, with a 100% accuracy! A simple way of finding this out, is
to take inventory of what you own. This information will allow you to
know if your insurance cover is correct and update your will. Have You
Correct Insurance Cover? Not having the correct insurance cover is
often termed under-insurance and is like having termites! Most
Australian households discover this under-insurance after the damage
has been done, when making a claim, never knowing it existed! Allowing
yourself on the other hand to stay one step ahead is not difficult. For
those of you that are still working, you can hopefully cover the cost
of loss over the forthcoming years. If you are a retiree though, it is
going to be more difficult to cover that loss. Does is not make sense
to be prepared? So that personal asset record, is to perform what is
known as a digital photographic home inventory. This task is one of the
many that a home inventory business can offer you. Getting the
inventory done accurately, speedily and saving you the time! The home
inventory allows you to realise and eliminate under-insurance and
creates an awareness of your net worth. Increasing Your Heirs Awareness
Of Their Inheritance. Are your heirs aware of the value they will
inherit? Are your heirs aware of the the importance and significance
of what they will inherit? These questions are crucial especially when
the family has heirlooms, cherished objects and other items of
significance involved.

Says A Thousand Words By Aussie Home Inventories (Home Inventory
Service - Australia) Submitted at 9/1/2008 3:57:00 AM Landlords and
tenants have rights and responsibilities, with regards to the rental of
property. To create a fair set of rules for landlords and tenants,
along with introducing legislative requirements for the 'written
tenancy agreement', the Residential Tenancies Act commenced on 30th
October 1989. This agreement consists of two parts, part 1 relates to
the 'Terms Of The Agreement', and part 2 relates to a 'Property
Condition Report', known as a 'PCR'. The Property Condition Report is
simply an inventory of the property, taken prior to the start of
tenancy, noting the condition of the property. Aussie Home Inventories
are specialists in the area of documenting property and contents and
are offering landlords, tenants, lodgers and students the opportunity
to have a Property Condition Report compiled. They prepare a concise
Property Condition Report which details the condition of the property,
room by room, noting any inclusions or dilapidations. The landlord
& tenant, and in cases where the property is managed, the
agent, all receive a copy of this property condition report. The tenant
may add additional comments and must return the condition report to the
landlord / agent within seven days of the start of lease. The original
report and the report returned by the tenant are both then used at the
end of a tenancy to ensure the property is returned in the same
condition, with consideration given to 'fair wear and tear' accepted.
The Property Condition Report usually comprises of a written
description accompanied by photographs or video when requested.

Suffering a loss of property is understandably a major trauma for most
people. It is during the time of recovery, that people wish they had
done more in the task of preparation. To prepare not just their
property, but themselves for the outcome and recovery. When preparation
can make a difference, it is often ignored or put off until it is to
late, as it is not seen as important enough, at that time. People may
be aware of recent burglaries, but do not get around to fixing the
security system, until after the break-in. Many home owners are unaware
they are underinsured, until they make a claim, thus any loss not
covered is at the property owners expense. In preparation for loss, it
always pays to have a property inventory where property and contents
are fully recorded and documented. This results in more accurate claims
and the chance of faster, more frequent theft recovery. Aussie Home
Inventories is seeking information from individuals whom realise they
could have done more, to be better prepared. If you have suffered a
loss through natural disaster, emergency or theft, they would like to
hear from you. Of special interest is information that involves:
Finding out you were under-insured at claim time. The lack of
documentation that could have assisted with theft recovery. Not
having all the required documentation for the insurance supplier.
Information can be easily forwarded to their offices via email, or they
can be contacted directly. All submitted information will be used
anonymously to compile a list of reasons, why people need to be more
prepared, learning from the examples of why people did not. The data
will be used to compile articles, that will be posted on Aussie Home
Inventories websites. This is a place to share your stories, to let
others learn, to encourage them to get prepared. If you thought you
were prepared and found you were not, Aussie Home Inventories calls
this the 'Burned Fingers' syndrome, they would especially like to
receive your information. Aussie Home Inventories- Home Inventory

9:27:00 PM Aussie Home Inventories is assisting rural and regional area
Australians, in getting connected to Aussie broadband internet.
Offering eligible clients a subsidised satellite broadband connection,
as part of the government's Australian Broadband Guarantee program.
After researching the Satellite Broadband providers connected with the
program, they are now an agent for a major satellite provider. "We
investigated all the providers offerings and know we made a good choice
in being able to offer our clients, the best satellite broadband
solution. We offer our clients satellite broadband as a service, to
those wishing to break free of dial-up, or wanting to join our Annual
Update Program. By joining the program clients can simply transfer home
and business inventory data to us", said Andrew Goodfellow, Inventory
consultant at Aussie Home Inventories. The Australian Broadband
Guarantee program is specifically aimed at getting non-ADSL customers
on-line. This offer of satellite broadband is open to all Australians
whom are unable to be served by a metro-comparable solution. "By
offering our client's a more superior service, client's data is easily
received and updated, making our inventory service more attractive.
This could not have been done without the assistance of an Aussie
broadband satellite connection." To find out if you are eligible for a
subsidised Aussie broadband satellite program contact Aussie Home
Inventories. They offer help and friendly advice, which will assist you
in getting connected to Aussie broadband. They even check your
eligibility whilst you are on the phone! Aussie Home Inventories- Home

How To Speed Up Insurance Claims & Increase Client Retention By
Aussie Home Inventories (Home Inventory Service - Australia) Submitted
at 11/21/2008 8:12:00 PM Being An Insurance Supplier Of Home &
Contents, How Efficient Would Your Claims Process Be, If More Of Your
Clients Had Inventories? Would A Faster & Accurate Claims
Process, Allow You To Reduce Costs & Increase Client Retention?
Faster claims and client retention, are just two of the benefits from
having insurance policies, supported by accurate documentation of
property and contents. Clients with accurate inventories of property
and contents are hard to find. Clients have many reasons for not taking
inventory, or keeping them up to date. As an insurance supplier, you
may have already tried informing your clients of: DIY Home
Inventories. Home Inventory Software. On-Line Inventories. These
are all good methods of taking inventory. The problem is, they all
suffer when clients report reasons for not taking inventory as: Not
Having The Time. Too Difficult. Not Having The Necessary Skills.
Lack Of Recording Equipment Or Computers. The result is, most
households have no inventory. The PDS, [The Rules Of The Game],
supplied with all policies is often too complex for the average policy
holder. Often ignored and not looked at until claim time, when of
course it is too late for the client. These above failings mean that
clients have: Little Knowledge Of The Policy. The Chance Of Being
Under-Insured. An Increase In Problems At Claim Time. A False Sense
Of Protection Can The System Be Improved If The Client Has An Inventory
That Is Professionally Recorded, By A Home Inventory Service? An
inventory that is accurate, and easily forwarded after a loss to the
authorities or you, the insurance supplier. A solution that offers the
client: The Elimination Of All The Reasons For Not Taking Inventory.
An Accurate Record Of Property. The Knowledge That The Insurance
Cover Is Correct. A solution that offers you, the insurance supplier:
Clients With Accurate Records. Clients With A Better Understanding Of
Your Policy. Faster Processing Of Claims. A Reduction In The Chance
of Fraudulent Claims. Reduced Overheads. Increased Client
Retention. Future Possibilities Of Reduced Premiums, Due To Accurate
Records & Increased Efficiency. Aussie Home Inventories offers
a Home Inventory Service, that not only supplies clients with a
professional record of property, but a service with an endless list of
features & benefits: Off-Site Storage, That Is Secure
& Safe. An Annual Update Program, Keeping Inventories Up To
Date. Disaster Preparation, Evacuation Suggestions That Prepare

UV LED Torches By Aussie Home Inventories (Home Inventory Service -
Australia) Submitted at 11/11/2008 4:33:00 PM Are You Looking To Make
Sure, You Have The Best Chance Of Recovering Property If Stolen? The
importance of marking property cannot be understated. An inventory of
property forwarded to the authorities, as soon as possible after the
theft, and the prior invisible marking of your items, with an ID
number, is the best solution to maximise theft recovery, of your hard
earned possessions. The authorities routinely use UV light, when
examining stolen goods. Each year, property worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars is recovered. There is a problem though, 94% Cannot Be
Returned To Its Rightful Owner, Due To NO Identification Mark. Increase
your chances of recovering your property if stolen, by invisibly
marking your valuables with a UV Marker Pen. Authorities and insurance
companies encourage the marking of property & contents, with a
Drivers Licence Number. The mark left by a UV Marker Pen in ONLY seen
under UV light. If you are invisibly marking your valuables, it makes
sense to also have the ability to check the invisible mark
periodically. For this task you will need a UV LED Torch. Aussie Home
Inventories has UV Marker Pens& UV LED Torches available for
purchase Australia wide. Visit the Inventory Products page, of their
Home Inventory Service website for more information. Aussie Home
