Hello everyone,
my name is Marc, I come from the beautiful NRW and I have a vice: cars.
To be able to store them all, I have garages here and there, mostly in already existing properties, homeowners associations...
Now I have bought a garage from 1970, spruced it up inside/outside, and re-roofed it.
Unfortunately, this garage is not insured to date, at least not from a building perspective.
Basic inventory would certainly be covered by my household insurance, but there is only my car inside here.
Of course, I have private liability insurance, naturally also one for landlords.
Now I wanted to include the said garage in the building insurance policy of my house, as it is about 400m as the crow flies away.
However, according to the insurance agent, this is not possible; he offered me a new building insurance that would insure my garage for €120/year.
I actually find that steep because not much can really happen. But I was told that there is probably a minimum premium.
Now I have the following question, which I actually never asked myself regarding any of my properties: do I even need building insurance here?
Or is my insurance just “complicated”?
Right now, I’m unfortunately a bit stuck. It’s not that I couldn’t afford the €120/year, but is it even worth it?
Do you perhaps have a tip for me?
Best regards and thanks,
Marc
