What is sub-standard home insurance?
Sub-standard refers to homes that major insurers refuse due to elevated risk: history of claims, cancelled prior policy, older electrical (60-amp, knob and tube, aluminum wiring), oil tank, wood stove without inspection, or property in high-risk zone. Specialty insurers offer coverage but at 30-100% higher premiums.
Why was my home insurance refused?
Common reasons: 2+ claims in the last 3 years, non-inspected older electrical or plumbing, knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum wiring, fuel oil tank, wood-burning appliance, vacant more than 30 days, or a cancelled prior policy for non-payment. Each insurer sets its own tolerance.
Which insurers accept sub-standard homes in Quebec?
Specialty markets include Wawanesa, Chieftain, Lloyd’s syndicates, and select regional insurers. Your Assur360 partner broker knows which company will accept your specific risk profile — often after a property inspection.
How much more will I pay?
Sub-standard premiums typically run 30 to 100% higher than standard market rates. A $600 standard policy might cost $800-$1,200 sub-standard. After 3 years of clean claims and remedied deficiencies, you can usually return to the standard market.
