Moving is never an easy task. You should always make a long checklist to ensure that the moving process goes smoothly. This moving process can start with packing and donating some of your belongings to make the moving process much simpler and easier. Then you start informing your family and friends in advance, ask for their helping hands or maybe you prefer to hire a professional moving company to ensure a stress-free moving process.
However, do you know that before the move there are other important things that most people forget? Yes, it is an insurance document arrangement. This should be done before moving to avoid problems later on. Here are at least 4 types of insurance plans you should consider before moving.
1. Home and contents insurance
Home and contents insurance covers the cost of repairing and remodeling your home's structure, as well as your belongings against unforeseen incidents such as fire, theft, and other damage. This includes clothing, electronics, furniture, kitchen appliances and other valuable personal items.
If you already have building and/or contents insurance from the previous place of residence, you can use these insurance policies for your new home. All you need to do is provide your new address to your insurance company.
If you have not taken out any of these insurance policies, it is recommended that you take out home insurance if you are a homeowner. In addition, contents insurance is recommended for both homeowners and tenants. According to the Verbond van Verzekeringen, in 2014, 96,7% of the Dutch population was insured for home contents insurance.
2. Life insurance
Term life insurance is essential and mandatory if you buy a home and take out the mortgage. This insurance covers the risk of death if you have a shared mortgage on the home. This means that you do not have to sell the house if one of you dies unexpectedly. If you already have term life insurance, all you need to do is notify your insurance company to change your old address with the new one.
3. Health Insurance
All residents of the Netherlands are obliged to take out at least basic health insurance. During your move you don't have to worry about what to do with your health insurance. The municipality will automatically update your health insurance with your new address.
4. Other Insurance
You may have other insurance, such as travel, liability or accident insurance. You can simply pass on the new address to the insurance company. Or maybe now is the right time to compare your insurance policies for lower insurance premiums. This ensures that you get the same benefits at a lower price.
For insurance plans, it is always better to start earlier. This is to make sure there are no potential problems later on. After you have taken out or arranged all the necessary insurance, it is now time to move into your new home. You can always hire a professional moving company to ensure a quick and stress-free move without burdening your family and friends.
