AI/BLC Interviewed by Insure.com
Adjusters International/Basloe, Levin & Cuccaro (AI/BLC), was recently interviewed by Insure.com regarding insurance coverage and claims on historic homes. In response to questions about how owning an historic home can complicate the insurance claims process, we addressed the various challenges presented by actual reconstruction costs, building code upgrades, and historic registry requirements.
"One of the biggest issues when filing claims for historic homes is getting the insurance company to recognize the actual reconstruction costs of replicating what was lost. Typically the craftsmanship, detail and type of materials that are used in historic properties are very rare, so to try to put that into dollars and cents and make sure that you're capturing the proper costs is extremely difficult. This is especially true in today's world where insurance companies are using software-based programs for estimating insurance claims. It's a huge, huge challenge to take modern-day software and spell out financially what it would cost to reproduce the characteristics of these historic properties."
