HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE CHANGES IN POLICY

HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE - RECENT POLICY CHANGES AFFECTING HOME BUYERS

Composite Roof

As a licensed Realtors in Kansas and Missouri, Daniel Bennison and I learn something different about the changing KC real estate market every day. Last month a client of ours bought a house in Kansas City, Missouri and when she tried to get insurance for the house she had under contract, she got rejected. It turns out the inspection had revealed that her house has a composite roof that was laid over a wood shingle roof. Evidently many insurance companies have recently stopped providing insurance for homes with wood shingle and composite layers. An amateur could not have noticed that the roof was two layers - in fact the roof looked like it was in perfect condition. Anyway, my client was finally able to find an insurance company, but they charged her a higher rate because of the roof. So - buyer's beware! Make sure you are prepared to shop around for an insurance company if you encounter this problem.
