The national average cost of rebuilding a home in Ireland rose by just over a fifth last year, the Society of Chartered Surveyors calculates.
The SCSI House Rebuilding Guide is used by homeowners to calculate the rebuilding costs of their home for insurance purposes.
It shows that the increase in rebuild costs ranges from 14% in Dublin to 26% in the northwest, with the national average increase registering at 21%.
Are you still confusing values with cost? Remember materials and labour costs are broadly similar across the Dublin region, and they dictate re-build costs, not whether it's on a nice street or not.and i’m not convinced by the SCSI calculator as values within Dublin vary hugely, and while i don’t want to be ‘over covered’, the current sum seems low.
Perhaps it's only Zurich who have opened their quote engines to Bonkers?Bizarrely, Bonkers.ie showing just one provider, Zurich? Are we a one state provider?
Only if you feel insurance costs are rising. However, bear in mind that an increase in re-build costs beyond what you specify in year 1 could mean you would need to revise your policy anyway and pay more.Is it advisable to lock in for three years in light of rocketing insurance costs? Or not?
Very few, and that's why home insurance doesn't cost thousands.I wonder how many houses each year need to be completely rebuilt for whatever reason, and can't be fixed with remedial work of some kind - is there any way to get that kind of data ?
