Insurance valuation is the process of determining the value of improvements on land for the purpose of replacement or reinstatement due to an insurable event.
These two values are quite different with the market value being the amount the property could be sold on the open market, including the land and buildings. This is quite different to the insurance value which considers the replacement or reinstatement of improvements on the land. Importantly an insurance is not the assessment of market value of the property.
Insurance replacement cost valuation involves assessing the cost of replacing an asset with a similar one at including materials, labour, and overheads having regard to current and projected costs.
