Types of insurance risks
Insurance risks are unfavorable combinations of circumstances that negatively affect the insured property and personal belongings of the owner. Rosgosstrakh offers several options for insurance risks for the most comfortable protection of property:
- Fire and its consequences. If the damage was caused as a result of the fire brigade extinguishing the flame, or as a result of the burning of the object, then these cases fall under insurance coverage.
- Explosion. The entire residential complex, or individual elements of the insured property. Additionally, insurance provides protection against the negative impact of fragments and other objects that were formed during the explosion.
- An accident that results in damage to property on the insured property is included in the insurance program.
- Flood insurance. The most common case of flooding of neighbors is a break in water pipes due to critical water pressure. Sometimes the cause is a malfunction after the end of the heating season, when the heating system undergoes sudden seasonal changes.
- Collision of vehicles. Relevant for residents of the first floors and private houses.
- Lightning strike. A direct hit by an electric charge or the consequences of an impact on neighboring objects (for example, a fire in a residential building due to a lightning strike in an extension next to the property).
- Natural phenomena. All types of hurricanes, floods, consequences of snow melting and melting, temperature fluctuations and other dangerous natural phenomena are included.
- Falling objects (meteorites, for example).
- Illegal actions of third parties , with the exception of cases of military intervention and terrorist actions. This could be burglary, robbery, vandalism.
- Civil responsibility. If damage to the health or property of third parties occurs, the client receives a payment from the insurance company to cover expenses to neighbors and other victims.
Attention! Additionally, you can insure civil liability, for example, compensation for damage for flooding of neighbors under insurance for neighbors from flooding by the tenant above.

How much does a structural insurance policy cost?
We looked at what the structural elements of an apartment are, what type of insurance it is, and how it works. The key question for everyone is how much this service costs. We are talking about the complete loss of property or severe damage to it, so the price of the policy will be rather high.
The cost of the service directly depends on the amount insured, which can be:
- For a mortgage, the remaining amount of debt owed to the bank. That is, every year it decreases, the cost of the policy decreases.
- With standard insurance of a structure without a mortgage, the insured amount is the price of the apartment or another amount stipulated by the contract, for example, 3,000,000 rubles.
The insured amount is the amount of compensation upon the occurrence of an insured event. If the property is partially lost, then an assessment of the damage is made.
For example, consider the tariffs for this service from the insurance company VSK:
- apartment. If only the structural elements of the apartment are protected - 0.15% of the insured amount. If standard finishing is additionally insured - 0.25%. If high-quality finishing and equipment - 0.35%;
- house. Protection of the structure only - 0.4%, with standard finishing - 0.6%, with high-quality finishing and equipment - 0.8%. If the house has wooden floors, the fee increases by 0.1 point;
- land plots - 0.1%.
As you can see, home insurance is more expensive, which is logical - they carry more risks. In addition, insurers can apply increasing and decreasing coefficients when calculating the price of a service. For example, if a house is located near a river, it will obviously have more risks.
As a result, it turns out that if the insured amount is 3,000,000 rubles, then protecting only the structure with a fee of 0.15% will cost the owner 4,500 rubles. In general, the fee cannot be called categorically large.
When taking out a mortgage, only the structural elements of the apartment are usually insured, but some banks sell policies that also protect the finishing. If the borrower does not need this, he has the right to refuse extended protection. Of course, banks are interested in selling the policy at a higher price, but only structural protection will be mandatory.

From what moment does the policy begin to take effect: when purchasing an insurance product, the Insurer begins to bear responsibility under the contract for the provision of services after 30 days from the date of purchase. Activation of a policy purchased at the company's offices, on the official website or by calling 0530 occurs the next day after payment of the insurance premium.

If the funds deposited by the policyholder are credited to the account later than the day following the date of purchase (as reflected in the payment receipt), they will still not affect the policy activation process.
