Accurate Sum Insured Guidance

"Total Replacement" vs. "Sum Insured" Policies

Your building's sum insured should reflect the actual cost to rebuild your home at today’s prices, not its current real estate market value. At Lesure, we use advanced replacement cost calculators to help you estimate this accurately so you don't end up underinsured.

Capped Contract LimitStandard Option

"Sum Insured" Policy

A Sum Insured policy covers you up to a specific dollar limit stated in your contract. If rebuilding costs exceed this figure due to surges in labor and material prices, you risk having to pay the shortfall out of pocket.

  • •Covers you up to a nominated maximum dollar sum.
  • •Must reflect current rebuilding costs, demolition, and council fees.
  • •Requires annual sum-insured reviews as inflation and trade costs rise.
Recommended StrategyBroader Protection

"Total Replacement" Policy

A Total Replacement policy is broader—subject to policy conditions, it aims to rebuild your home to its original standard even if costs exceed estimates due to post-event price spikes.

  • Covers reconstruction to original standard, subject to policy terms.
  • Absorbs sudden post-disaster spikes in trade labor and building supplies.
  • Helps protect against severe underinsurance gaps after major events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Domestic Insurance Questions

Your building's sum insured should reflect the actual cost to rebuild your home at today’s prices, not its current real estate market value. At Lesure, we use advanced replacement cost calculators to help you estimate this accurately so you don't end up underinsured.
A Sum Insured policy covers you up to a specific dollar limit stated in your contract. A Total Replacement policy is broader—it promises to rebuild your home to its original condition, even if the building costs end up being higher than expected due to sudden spikes in labor and material prices, making it a strong contender for the best home and contents insurance strategy.
Flood cover definitions vary significantly across Australian insurers. While some include it automatically, others treat it as an optional add-on or exclude it for high-risk zones. We always check the fine print in the PDS to ensure your insurance home and contents policy protects against the specific environmental risks of your suburb.
Standard home and contents insurance only covers items while they are physically inside your property. To protect valuables like phones, laptops, and jewellery while you are out and about, we need to add Portable Contents Cover to your policy.
Yes. The most effective way is to increase your basic excess (the out-of-pocket amount you pay when making a claim). By opting for a higher excess, the insurer lowers your ongoing premium. We can also look for combined policy discounts if you bundle your building and contents together.
A standard home policy only protects owner-occupied premises against structural damage and basic perils. It strictly excludes risks unique to income-producing assets. Dedicated landlord insurance for rental property safeguards you against tenant rent default, malicious damage by occupants, landlord liability, and loss of rental income while repairs are underway—gaps left wide open by standard homeowners insurance for rental homes.
