PROPERTY ALL RISKS
Property and Business are sources of revenue for many in our country. It not only provides income but is also an asset. Solidarity Takaful’s Property All risk covers a wide variety of risks to which your property is exposed which will help you deal with challenges that life throws at you with confidence.
Under the Property All Risks Insurance the Policy indemnifies the Insured for accidental physical loss of or damage to the Property Insured whilst situated at the premises described in the policy.
This will include loss or damage by Fire, Lightning, Aircraft, Explosion, Earthquake, Strike, Riot, Malicious Damage, Storm, Tempest, Flood, Bursting or Overflowing of Water Apparatus (including Sprinkler Leakage), Impact by Own Vehicles, Theft or Attempted Theft (by violent and forcible entry to or exit from the premises) and other Accidental Loss or Damage.
The coverage is usually provided for a period of one year. The Sum Insured may be either on the basis of the actual value or the new replacement value of the property but should be adequate to cover the total exposure. The Insured should be able to provide the sum Insured but may seek help of our underwriters to determine how to do so. The Sum Insured is very important and needs to be given due consideration to avoid application of Average in the event of a claim.
The rate chargeable is always applied on "Per Mille" basis (for every thousand units) on the Total Sum Insured and is very dependent to the nature of risk, location and the housekeeping. There is a Deductible for each and every loss in addition to a number of other conditions.
