Important Distinction

Market value vs. rebuild cost

These are fundamentally different concepts. Many property owners are dangerously under-insured.

Market Value

What your property would sell for on the open market.

  • Includes land value
  • Reflects location and condition
  • Used for mortgages and sales

Reinstatement Cost

The actual cost to rebuild the property from scratch.

  • Labour and materials to rebuild
  • Essential for insurance coverage

Why This Matters

Many property owners insure based on market value alone. If a claim occurs, you may not have sufficient cover to fully rebuild. A professional reinstatement cost assessment ensures proper insurance protection.
