When i first moved into my self build house in 2008 the re-build cost was valued at 400k by the bank. (House is 3000sq ft in countryside) I have been insuring my home to this value ever since & the premium keeps rising at a steady rate since.
In the current climate i do not believe it would cost 300k to re-build never mind 400k but do i need to get the re-build cost re-valued by the bank or can i go ahead with home insurance based on 300k re-build value?
Obviously my home insurance premium will decrease significantly if the rebuild cost drops by 100k.
There is 230k outstanding on mortgage.
Any help or sugestions greatly appreciated.

Should give you a good idea...
 
Have a look on wwwselfbuildrates.ie you can calculate the Rebuild Value for a stand alone type house there, as far as I am aware the SCSI calculator is for Estate type houses only?
Also remember the Rebuild value takes into account the following:

1. Demolishing structure including grubbing up floors and foundations etc.
2. Clearing demolitions from the site
3. Preparing the site for a new structure
4. Rebuilding of the structure to current Building Regulations
5. Professional fees to cover cost of documentation preparation and project Administration
5. VAT on all of the above​
