Reconstruction value appraisal of buildings
with a thatched roof
Many insurers require a fixed appraisal based on Art. 7:960 BW for buildings with high value or unique features. These include monuments, buildings with architectural details, luxury finishes or buildings with thatched roofs.
Buildings with thatched roofs are often considered less fire-safe, resulting in insurers charging higher premiums for buildings insurance. In recent decades, more and more techniques have been developed to improve the fire safety of thatched roofs. These include the use of specially treated thatch or the installation of sprinkler systems.
Our experienced appraisers specialize in determining the reconstruction value of buildings with a thatched roof. The roof structure is closely examined.
It is determined whether it is a screw roof (closed roof construction with reeds) or a traditional thatched roof. With a fixed valuation based on Art. 7:960 of the Civil Code, you can be sure of the correct rebuilding value of your thatched-roofed home.
Insurers are particularly interested in the risk they face. Therefore, a correct valuation of the reinstatement value is a relevant measure for insurers. This is because the reinstatement value is directly related to the amount they have to pay out in the event of a claim. Insurers use the reconstruction value to determine the premium for building insurance.
Construction costs can vary depending on factors such as building materials, labor costs and building codes. Regular review of the rebuild value ensures that insurance coverage remains current and over- and underinsurance is avoided.
An appraisal report provides a solid basis in securing appropriate insurance coverage in full in case of damage or loss.
