Fairfield County through Eastern Long Island has become an area of concern in recent years for both insurers and homeowner’s. Due to our proximity to the CT Coast and client base with a wide range of geographic spread, we are well versed in the topics of Flood Insurance options that may be available for Coastal Homes with the primary insurance.
We work closely with the agents, buyers, and sellers on coastal real estate purchases to insure successful transfer of flood insurance or find an appropriate market for what needs to be placed in order to satisfy bank requirements prior to closing.
Call a Cross Private Client Consultant to have your Coastal Home Insurance reviewed, as the risk appetite for each carrier is constantly changing. Given your home’s geographic area and FEMA Flood Zone, we offer options for Home, Flood, Excess Flood, and “Difference in Conditions” Flood Enhancement when available.
The standard limit of $250,000 for Primary Flood on the Dwelling will satisfy most (if not all) bank requirements. The addition of $100,000 of personal property is typically added for an additional premium.
Note: Flood is not a covered peril on a homeowner’s policy.
All FEMA/NFIP Flood Policies are transferable to the new owner at time of purchase. The buyer assumes the current rate structure and history of an existing policy if completed in a timely manner prior to closing.
A Cross Private Client Consultant will communicate directly with your closing attorney, mortgage broker, and real estate agent to insure timely delivery of all closing documents.
When the Federal Government no longer wanted to administer the FEMA Flood policies directly anymore, they allowed the insurance industry to step in and take over. As of 2017, there are 65 “WYO” that administer flood policies on behalf of FEMA/NFIP. Policies can be transferred from one WYO to another at the time of home purchase or at the annual policy renewal.
Cross Private Client currently places Primary FEMA/NFIP policies with either Wright Flood or PURE Flood (PURE Members Only)
Excess Flood can be purchased through the homeowner’s company (if allowed) or through a specialty market. Excess Flood picks up where the $250,000/$100,000 FMA/NFIP ends and go up to the Full Dwelling/Contents Value.
Some homeowner’s companies offer this coverage enhancement for a small additional premium. The following are common ways that primary flood coverage is broadened: single location flood; replacement cost coverage; additional living expenses; other structures; basement improvements, basement contents and up to $10,000 of property removal.
It can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to protecting your family and yourself. You need more than a cookie cutter solution. We can provide creative solutions for a variety of situations. Contact your local office today for coverage options and premium comparisons.
